About - Sailing Co.

Our Story

Sailing Co. was founded in 2015 by Captain Mike Anderson, a lifelong sailor who fell in love with Eagle Mountain Lake's perfect sailing conditions. What started as a single sailboat and a passion for teaching has grown into North Texas's premier sailing charter and instruction company.

We believe sailing is more than just a sport or hobby—it's a way to connect with nature, challenge yourself, and find peace on the water. Whether you're looking to learn a new skill or simply enjoy a day on the lake, we're here to make your sailing dreams a reality.

Our commitment to safety, quality instruction, and customer satisfaction has made us the trusted choice for sailors of all experience levels throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
