Northport Youth Sailing School (NYSS)


Come sail with us

The Northport Youth Sailing School's goal is to provide young people the opportunity to experience the lifetime sport of sailing, in a safe and fun environment. As well as learning to sail, young sailors learn teamwork, self reliance, quick thinking, and a love of the environment. We are located in Northport, Michigan in the tip of the little finger.
