Powered by GoogleWhat a gem the David Island Youth Sailing Foundation is for our community! For anyone in Tampa looking for an exceptional youth program, this is it. Our sons had a uniquely positive experience, not just learning to sail but also developing teamwork and a respect for the marine environment. The entire program was well-organized, safe, and truly enriching. It's fantastic to see them thrive and discover a new passion right here at home.
Our family has been involved with DIYSF for several years through summer learn to sail and then through club sailing and the high school team. We love the coaches and families in the program. I just took my first DIYSF adult learn to sail lesson. Coach Jackson is a very patient man. I highly recommend taking lessons if you want to learn how to sail! I’m coming back tomorrow morning!
