Kona Sailing Club is a nonprofit, volunteer-run sailing club at Honokōhau Small Boat Harbor in Kailua-Kona that offers youth sailing camps and learn-to-sail programs (in partnership with the Big Island Sailing Foundation) alongside keelboat certification and community boating. Founded in 1980, its junior programs give kids hands-on, on-the-water sailing instruction.

★★★★★Karen EarnshawSuch a friendly and welcoming organization. A few years back my husband Cary and I read about the club, turned up to an event and have since made so many friends and had so many fun times. Thank you KSC!

★★★★★Annie JaySo welcoming. Great sailing community
★★★★★Melissa BurrMy son came home each day from Kona Sailing Club’s week-long sailing camp absolutely beaming—with more confidence, new skills, and exciting stories about learning hands-on skills on the water. This experience didn’t just teach him to sail, it deepened his connection to our Kona coastline and helped him understand the responsibility we have to care for our ocean environment. Joe and the team created such a welcoming, empowering space rooted in place-based learning. He’s already looking forward to the next camp!
★★★★★Kim StuartIf you are hanging out on the big island on a day with racing scheduled, just go wait at the picnic table in front of the club, and the members will find a boat for you to race with
