Set sail from campus at your own speed.

Explore Sarasota and the surrounding bay area by boat, canoe, kayak or sailboard. Soak up the sun and laze around or join us for a BBQ on a nearby island. Or maybe you want to get a little more competitive and join the New College Sailing Team. Participate at your level. We teach students how to repair and maintain boats, and we offer free sailing lessons for students all year long.

The New College Sailing Club is located on our historic Caples Campus behind the Mildred Sainer Arts Pavilion at 5313 Bay Shore Road. Our waterfront is just south of The John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art with a beautiful view of Ca' d’Zan, the Venetian Gothic mansion of circus magnate John Ringling. Our coordinates are 27*22.80N, 082*33.89W.

The New College Sailing Team
The New College Sailing Team is part of the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association of North America (ICSA), SAISA division (South Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association).
