The Sailing Center is located at the Weeks Fish Camp off of Coconut Road >MAP. A fleet of sunfish are available to residents for sailing in Estero Bay.  Residents must qualify (demonstrate sailing competence) in order to sail a PLCA sailboat in Estero Bay. Lessons and qualification sessions are available. Only those residents with a valid PLCA photo ID designated for sailing will be permitted to check out a vessel.

The Sailing Center is made up of various volunteer committees including Instruction, Boats & Equipment, Racing, Safety, and Social Events.  This variety of activities affords residents, who do not wish to sail on their own, the camaraderie of others through volunteerism. Past sailing activities include an annual luncheon, informal ‘salty talk’ gatherings, off-site excursions, ‘Sunset Sailing Sundays’ and a Commodore’s Ball.  For those of you who would enjoy a new adventure or want to renew sailing skills with neighbors, the Pelican Landing Sailing Center is the place to be!
