PBSC
Membership
A Club, A real Community.
Membership at PBSC means joining a community of sailors—whether you bring your own boat or sail from our fleet. It's experienced sailors who become mentors and friends, a calendar that keeps people connected, and a clubhouse on Lake Worth Lagoon that's been home to all of it for 60 years.
Learn to Sail Course
Learning to sail here happens the way it always has—from members who love teaching and want to see you on the water. Private lessons are available for structured instruction, but much of it happens naturally: experienced sailors showing newer ones the ropes. You'll cover everything from rigging to navigation until you're ready to crew.
Crewing on Club Sails
Transition from student to crew member on regular club sails. These weekend outings and evening sails provide real-world experience, introduce you to the broader PBSC community, and teach you the art of sailing as a team.
Sunday racing
Sunday racing is where it comes together. You'll crew alongside experienced members, learning strategy and sail trim in real conditions. The competition is real, the camaraderie is better, and you'll improve faster than you thought possible.
Get Checked Out
If you already know your way around a boat, you can hit the water quickly. New members have full access to our fleet during the probationary period. Get checked out as a skipper and you're in—racing Sundays, joining crews, making the club your own.
Saturday Tiller time
Saturday Tiller Time offers relaxed, no-pressure practice for new sailors and anyone seeking more experience. Learn from seasoned members, build confidence at the helm, and prepare for your boat checkout.

Club Life First
Families find their way in at their own pace—and there's no single path. Most start with club life. Social events, Friday sunsets on the deck, holiday parties, weekend cookouts. The community forms when families keep showing up to the same place.
Adults Learn to Sail
Then the adults want in. Fellow members love teaching, and private lessons are available too. You'll go from basics to confident crew at your own pace—and before long, sailing becomes something the whole family does together.
Kids on the Water
Kids build real skills on the water—year-round instruction during the school year, homeschool programs, racing teams for those who want to compete, and summer camp when school's out. It's where they grow up alongside other members' kids.
