Give today to build the new Eagle Harbor Sail Float at Waterfront Park. The new float will expand access to high‑quality sailing education and water recreation for youth and adults alike. This investment strengthens a thriving program, fosters lifelong skills and a connection to our waters, and celebrates Bainbridge Island’s proud maritime heritage.
About the Sail Float
Bainbridge Island’s youth and community sailing programs are thriving, instilling hundreds of young sailors each year with confidence, teamwork, and lifelong maritime skills. Give today to support the new Eagle Harbor Sail Float — a critical facility that ensures access to safe, accessible, and high‑quality learning.
Eight-hundred or more youths participate in the Bainbridge Metro Parks Sailing Program annually, with almost half launching from Eagle Harbor. This float is central to their experience, providing a place where students from elementary through high school learn to sail, build friendships, and grow through hands‑on adventure.
The current float (30 years old) has reached the end of its usable life, and replacing it is essential to sustaining and expanding youth sailing programs. Give today to build the new Eagle Harbor Sail Float and support sailing instruction for all.
All permits are in hand, and now we are raising the final round of funds to complete the project.
Why a new float?
The existing sail float was built 30 years ago and added to over time, cobbled together with additional floats that were replaced at the nearby City Dock. Never expected to last as long as it has, the float is decrepit and beyond its safe, useful life.
