Member/Sponsor
The Nevis Aquatic and Sailing Center (NASC) runs a wide range of
programs and events for the Nevis community - including Swim, Sail, and AquaFit programs, Easter and Summer Camps, Regattas, social gatherings, boat rentals, private lessons, women’s empowerment events, beach games, and marine biology education and outreach.
While the details below may seem formal and financial, they should not mask the passion and belief that drive everyone at NASC - our Directors, Volunteers, and Instructors. Every week, we see how our programs transform lives, build friendships, and strengthen community bonds, offering individuals unique opportunities to develop confidence, skills, and pride.
Our vision is to be more than “just OK.” We aim to be a center of excellence - a place Nevisians can be proud of, a welcoming hub for families, and a vibrant part of island life. Below, we outline how we’re working toward that goal and how you can be part of our journey.
Our Commitment and Structure
NASC is a registered not-for-profit organization, operating under strict non-profit regulations.
No Director receives any direct or indirect payment.
All revenue is reinvested into the Center — not distributed to members.
We bank with the National Bank and are fully insured through Delisle Walwyn.
This means that 100% of every membership fee or donation goes directly toward delivering programs and services that benefit the Nevis community.
Our Financial Model
Each year, our goal is to raise enough through membership subscriptions to cover essential overheads — including rent, insurance, and maintenance costs. These expenses have risen sharply in recent years, so expanding membership is crucial. Your membership helps us keep program fees affordable and accessible for everyone.
In addition to membership income, we run annual fundraising campaigns to enhance our programs and meet growing community needs.
For 2026, our major campaign goals include:
• Youth development towards regional &international competitions for sailing and swimming. Enhanced elite training and expanding our sailboat fleet.
Next Improvement Priorities:
• Adding tables, and chairs for our new upper deck area
