Miami Sailing School
Miami, Florida, United States
About
Miami Sailing School is based in Coconut Grove, a laid-back neighborhood with a deep sailing history and easy access to Biscayne Bay. The bay itself is a great place to learn—reliable wind, warm water, and plenty of room to explore. Classes are small and hands-on, usually just one to four people, so you get plenty of time at the helm. You’ll sail on either a 40-foot monohull or catamaran, logging serious hours on the water each day. Whether you're just starting out or brushing up your skills, the goal is the same: help you get comfortable and confident on a boat.

Getting There
If you're flying in, Miami International Airport (MIA) is the closest major airport, about a 20-minute drive from the school. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is another option, roughly 40 minutes away by car. Once you land, renting a car or using a ride-hailing service like Uber or Lyft is the most straightforward way to reach us. The school is located at 2950 SW 27th Ave, Suite 100, in the Coconut Grove neighborhood. It's a central spot with easy access to the bay and nearby amenities.
Best Time to Go
The best time to sail in Biscayne Bay is from November through April when the weather is dry, the skies are clear, and the breeze holds steady through most of the day. Summer can still be good for sailing, but afternoons often bring short thunderstorms and lighter wind.
