Island Sailing

This Memorial Day, we honor those who made the selfless choice to put others before themselves and sacrificed their lives for the Nation.

Thank you all for your service.

This June, kick off your sailing journey with a $100 in savings! Right now, our ASA 101 courses in June are being offered for $390 for the four day course. With USCG Captains, small student crews, and 70% of class time on the water, you'll learn how to sail by actually sailing. Come turn the motor off and explore the Columbia under sail!

Visit us at Islandsailing.org or give us a call at 503-285-7765 to enroll today. The wind is steady, sunsets are later, the season is here!

Island Sailing School & Club Sailing school and club located on the Mighty Columbia River in Portland, Oregon. Dedicated to helping you achieve your goals while you create your perfect sailing experiences.

Happy (belated) Earth Day from everyone here at Island Sailing! We feel lucky that our backyard is the mighty and beautiful Columbia.

This Earth Day, consider giving back to help preserve the river for future generations. Columbia Riverkeepers is an amazing non-profit aimed to help restore and preserve the quality of the ecosystem and all that are connected to it. Their work with local communities have helped shape salmon restoration efforts across the basin. Find out more at the link in our bio.

We hope everyone had an exceptional Earth Day and look forward to seeing folks enjoying the special place we call home!

You may have seen a new face walking up D row recently!

Island Sailing recently added a meticulously maintained 1993 Catalina 28 to the fleet, named Leucothea. She has new running rigging, new main and head sails, a propane heater, a Garmen Chart plotter and a great autohelm, she's got it all!

We knew after seeing she's called Leucothea that we had to add her to the fleet! Leucothea is the Greek Goddess of the sea and protector of sailors. She's referenced as a deity who aids mariners in distress, famously saving Odysseus with her veil in The Odyssey, and is often linked to sea spray.

We feel excited and lucky that Island Sailing is growing both in our fleet and community. This space wouldn't be possible without all of our members for whom we are so grateful. Thank you all so much.

She's now available for reservations on Boat Club!

A beautiful Monday race night at Island Sailing!

The warm week we just had created a special night out on the water. Every Monday night (and soon to be Thursday’s with the SYSCO Series starting soon), our fleet of J-24s take to the Coulmbia.

It’s a special community! Come join us!
