Floridaze Sailing is an award winning sailing school that provides sailing instruction, leisure lessons, and captained day sails along the beautiful Gulf Coast of Florida in the Pensacola Bay and Pensacola Beach areas. We specialize in private, live-aboard optional sailing classes for couples, families, and friends who want to acquire the skills needed for bareboat chartering, cruising, or future yacht ownership. Our sailing instructors are dedicated, accomplished sailors, and our senior sailing instructor, Capt. Bob Patroni, has over 40 years of sailing experience – he not only knows how to sail but he knows how to “teach” you how to sail.

Our award-winning instructors have been teaching people to sail on the beautiful Gulf Coast waters since 2001. We take your education seriously, but we understand it’s all about having fun! Our Buccaneer Sailing Club allows you to further your sailing skills, have access to fleet of boats, and enjoy continued learning opportunities through clinics and group sails.
