ROC City Sailing
A nonprofit on Irondequoit Bay where a whole family can go out on a Flying Scot with an instructor. Paid. Ages 8 and up.
A nonprofit on Irondequoit Bay whose whole purpose is getting the Rochester area sailing, with classes sold one at a time rather than behind a membership. Kids sail Prams, Sunfish and JY15s with US Sailing certified instructors, and capsize recovery is deliberately part of the beginner curriculum rather than something saved for later. The Group Sail is the easiest family option: an instructor skippers a Flying Scot and four to six family members come along for two hours. The Youth Adventure Sail adds wetland exploration, swimming and games, run alongside City of Rochester and Seneca Park Zoo educators.
