About TISC

Since 1999, TISC has served over 10,000 youth and adults as a non-profit business and a US Sailing Certified Community Sailing Center. We have done this by providing affordable access to sailing and water sports for all Youth, Adults, and Families. We take pride in the quality of our professionally staffed educational programs, maintenance of rental equipment, and our generous youth scholarship opportunities.

Our Mission

We started with a vision for the San Francisco community “Create opportunities for people to learn and grow through sailing.” Since 1999 this has expanded into a lifelong goal to serve all children of all socioeconomic backgrounds with our first-rate facilities and instructors.

Our Values

Our Values permeate our team and programs here at TISC. They ground us and give us a framework for approaching the world. We make time each day to practice our values of Growth, Resilience, Integrity, and Teamwork- our GRIT.

More Info

TISC is open to the public, and anyone is invited to learn to sail and explore the water safely. Check out our Programs for youth and Adults here. Our Youth Summer Camp helps kids learn life skills and we offer even more opportunities in the Spring and Fall. Groups and community organizations are also welcome! If you are a parent, administrator, or just curious visit our Resource Section to see if you or your youth group qualifies for free sailing lessons! (Read Scholarship Section).
