DIYSF Sail Camps offers kids a fun, safe, and confidence-building introduction to sailing on Tampa Bay. Designed for a wide range of ages and experience levels, our camps combine hands-on sailing instruction with games, teamwork, and on-the-water adventure. Sailors learn to rig, steer, and sail independently while building seamanship skills, friendships, and a lifelong love of the water—no prior experience required.

DIYSF Sailing Lessons are designed for both kids and adults looking to learn, improve, or build confidence on the water. Whether you’re brand new to sailing or looking to refine your skills, our experienced instructors provide hands-on, personalized instruction in a fun and supportive environment. Lessons focus on practical seamanship, boat handling, and safety while enjoying the waters of Tampa Bay—making sailing accessible, educational, and rewarding at any age.

This hands-on exploration program introduces kids to the living marine ecosystem and the working waterfront of Hillsborough Bay. Traveling by powerboat, kayak, or sailboat, participants discover local wildlife, habitats, and maritime industries while building confidence, curiosity, and a deeper connection to the water.
