About Us
Our Mission-To build pathways for self-confidence and personal growth in children with Learning Differences, through
individually tailored experiential instruction in sailing.
Brendan Sailing History
Brendan Sailing was named after St. Brendan, the Patron Saint of Navigation, honoring both a spirit of exploration and safe passage on the water. Our founder, drawing on his Irish heritage and lifelong love of sailing, chose the name as a symbol of courage, discovery, and guidance. Today, Brendan Sailing continues that tradition by helping youth navigate both the waters and the challenges of learning differences with confidence.
Our Staff
At Brendan Sailing, our staff bring both expertise and heart to every program. All instructors hold a minimum US Sailing Level 1 Instructor certification and are fully trained in the Brendan Approach, ensuring high-quality, adaptive instruction. With their positivity, enthusiasm, and genuine care, they create a safe and welcoming environment where every youth with learning differences in our program can succeed.

The Brendan Sailing Board of Directors is made up of dedicated individuals from diverse professional and personal backgrounds. Each member generously contributes their time, talent, and expertise to guide the organization, ensuring its continued growth and impact. Their leadership and commitment are vital to advancing Brendan Sailing’s mission of empowering youth with learning differences through individually tailored instruction in sailing.
