Manatee River Youth Sailing (MRYS) empowers young people throughout Manatee County by building confidence, leadership, teamwork, and a lifelong connection to the water through accessible sailing programs. As a community-supported nonprofit, we are committed to ensuring every child has the opportunity to sail, regardless of their financial circumstances. Your support helps provide scholarships, maintain boats and equipment, expand youth programs, and create meaningful experiences both on and off the water. Whether you choose to make a financial contribution or purchase needed items from our Amazon Wishlist, every gift directly supports local youth and helps us inspire the next generation of sailors.
