Our Mission
It is Gulf Shore Sailing’s mission to cultivate an appreciation within the Punta Gorda/Charlotte County Community for Charlotte Harbor. When we introduce youth and adults to the sport of sailing and help them to develop the skills to safely and effectively crew and skipper a sailboat at a reasonable price, then we believe we will increase the number of sailors on the water and ultimately expand our reach into the community.
