Located conveniently on the Burlington waterfront, The Community Sailing Center is perfect for any of life’s celebrations! Our beautiful lakeside venue is a lively hub on the shores of Lake Champlain, less than a mile from downtown Burlington, VT, where community members gather to experience the lake together. Our Merrill Family Terrace and newly-renovated Dana Pier offer breathtaking views of Lake Champlain, the Burlington Waterfront, and the Adirondacks. These versatile spaces with stunning backdrops are perfect for hosting weddings, company retreats, celebrations of life, and more!

The Community Sailing Center was founded in 1994 with a mission to connect people to Lake Champlain.

The Community Sailing Center was an absolutely perfect place to have our wedding! The vibe was amazing, the view unbeatable, and the space felt both intimate and full of life. Tilly was so helpful and accommodating from start to finish—she was truly a joy to work with. The staff helped quickly transition from an outdoor to indoor ceremony at the last minute due to rain and made what could have been a stressful moment, feel very easy. It was perfect for our tiny wedding (under 30 guests) and I’m sure would be lovely for a bigger one as well! If you’re looking for a Burlington venue that’s beautiful, flexible, and staffed by people who truly care, this is the one.

The location itself is stunning—set against the breathtaking backdrop of Lake Champlain, it offers an intimate and serene setting that's truly one-of-a-kind in the area.

The rooms were comfortable, charming, and offered amazing views, allowing our family and friends to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of the North Country.
