The Davis Island Youth Sailing Foundation's Summer Sail Camp is an exciting and immersive experience designed for young sailors of all skill levels ages 5 - 17. Held in the scenic waters surrounding Davis Island, the camp offers a unique opportunity for participants to develop their sailing abilities under the guidance of experienced and passionate instructors. Through a combination of hands-on training, engaging activities, and a supportive learning environment, campers will not only enhance their sailing techniques but also build confidence, teamwork, and a love for the sport. Whether they are new to sailing or looking to refine their racing skills, every camper will benefit from personalized instruction and a curriculum that emphasizes safety, seamanship, and fun on the water. Registration is open now!
When you think summer camp, think sailing!

Like the traditions of the Morgan Invasion, the Tampa Bay Hospice Cup appeals to both cruisers and racers. In addition to the traditional Morgan Invasion fleets, the regatta also features open non-Morgan fleets for PHRF, and a “Just-for-Fun” casual fleet. All proceeds will benefit Tampa Bay area Hospice organizations, which offer comprehensive hospice and palliative care, caregiver education, individual and group counseling, spiritual support and many other programs to those it serves regardless of race, age, faith, diagnosis, or financial circumstances.
All boats, including Just For Fun Fleet: $125.00 tax-deductible donation to Tampa Bay Hospice Cup payable in RegattaNetwork plus sales tax, which includes one (1) Mount Gay red hat, one (1) t-shirt and drinks from our generous in-kind sponsors including Mount Gay Rum. Additional shirts ($35) and dinner tickets ($20) may be purchased through RegattaNetwork.

This race’s history dates back to 1946 and 2025 has us racing to Venice as Ft. Myers continues to recover from the hurricanes. DIYC is joined by Venice Yacht Club as organizing authority. This is a feeder race for the Bone Island Regatta starting on May 14. An approximately 49.8-mile coastal race, Tampa Bay to Venice will have the same character as prior years. All competitors departing from Tampa Bay compete for the Navigator’s Trophy donated by OH Rogers. It is awarded to the first boat to finish in any class.
All Regatta and Series Information can be found on the Racing Tab under Regattas. All series announcements for DIYC and series from other clubs in the area can be found at the bottom of the Racing page.
This 8-event Series includes both Drop-Mark and Distance racing for Spinnaker A, B, and C divisions, plus Distance races for Racer-Cruiser, Cruising, and Multi-Hull.
