Our Core Mission

To build pathways for self-confidence and personal growth in children with learning differences… through individually tailored experiential instruction in sailing

Brendan focuses on each student and his or her individual needs. While we teach sailing skills and safety on the water, the end result is a strong sense of accomplishment and enhanced self-worth. Through our Program, Brendan students not only learn how to sail - they gain a foundation for building self-confidence and social skills through sailing.

Special Announcements

Summer Brendan Out of-the-Box Sessions Concluded

While this year we would have ideally hosted our sailing camps on the water, we were unable due to the ongoing health crisis. Fortunately we were able to host virtual camp sessions. Needless to say, we had a blast! See our blog post for more info and recap videos from all four sessions hosted in July 2020.

"Brendan Sailing helped build the confidence in my child, not only to drive a sailboat but also to take me sailing with her. Many people do not respect that some children may need more time to learn and can get distracted... Brendan instructors were parent and understanding with her."
