One of the best things about living in Erie is the water… but a lot of us mostly just LOOK at it from shore.

ad | This summer, the Maritime Center is making it surprisingly easy to actually get out on Presque Isle Bay with their Erie Community Boating program.

Kayaks. Canoes. Sailboats: No owning a boat. No storage. No trailer. No giant investment.

Just go.

They also offer beginner-friendly sailing lessons for teens and adults if you’ve always wanted to try sailing but had no idea where to start.

All of it is surprisingly affordable.

Such a cool Erie summer experience idea for families, teens, date nights, or just trying something new this summer.
