Join the 2026 Team!

Sail Newport annually hires seasonal staff for our award winning sailing center in a variety of capacities: instructors, coaches, dock office, operations, events and regatta management.

Most positions are for the June – August period, however, there are keelboat instructor positions that begin in April/May and run through September/November.

Please refer to the website for general info and to learn more about Sail Newport’s programs and services, or feel free to contact us directly with any specific questions regarding employment.

If you are interested in either/both a youth dinghy or keelboat instructor position, you need only complete one application. The Brenton Cove Racing Program Teams have a separate application.
