Why Join Windworks

All of the Adventure. None of the Overhead.

At Windworks, we don’t just teach skills or charter boats — we aim to ignite a lifelong passion for sailing and boating. Whether you are stepping onto a dock for the first time or preparing for a coastal passage, our community is your home base for adventure in the Puget Sound and beyond.

Sailing in the Pacific Northwest is a dream; but owning a boat in Seattle can be a second job.  Windworks Membership gives you the helm of a premier fleet without the slip fees, maintenance, or insurance. It's a roadmap to mastery and a passport to the water and a community of sailors.

A Passionate Community: Join a world-class network of sailors through exclusive flotillas, the "Windshare" (link) program that provides you access to share you sailing experience, and other events

Charter Our Premier Fleet at Discounted Prices: Gain access to Seattle’s finest collection of late-model cruisers, keelboats, and powerboats without the overhead of ownership

Expert Support and Mentorship: Our team is behind you from service, knowledge and instruction. Our instructors are more than teachers—they are lifelong mariners dedicated to helping you command the water with confidence. Come and enjoy recreational racing to hone your skills. Membership pays for itself through significantly reduced tuition on all US Sailing and Powerboating certifications.
