Ventura Yacht Club is a full-service facility located on the west side of Ventura Harbor between the Ventura Harbor Village and Channel Islands National Park Headquarters. Ventura Yacht Club maintains a lively Juniors' Program. In addition to the summer weekly programs, Juniors' Sundays are offered monthly to all junior members. 

      Racing, drills, and fun encompass these Sundays with BBQ lunches as part of the routine. Regattas are also offered throughout the year, including the Sabot High-Point Series.

      The summer sailing programs offer a safe, educational, and fun environment. We want the kids to learn, and have a great time while doing so. Learning sailing skills is supplemented with fun activities such as sailing to the beach or park, having picnics, going on treasure hunts, playing boat-sponge tag, and having relay team competitions.

      The goal of the program is to promote good overall seamanship through learning racing and sailing skills, water safety, and the Corinthian spirit, and to have a great time while doing so. While having fun, the kids will learn a wonderful sport that they can participate in for the rest of their lives. VYC maintains a quality fleet of Sabots, Lazers, and FJs. All classes are taught by US Sailing certified instructors.

The summer classes have an average instructor-to-student ratio of 5:1, so the students receive the highest degree of attention and tailoring to their specific needs. The head instructors are US Sailing Certified, and are able to certify students through US Sailing. The program emphasizes a fun and safe learning environment. The goals of the instructors are to offer kids a safe class that is a fun, unique, and exciting way to spend time on the water, while teaching the students good sailing techniques and skills.
