Sailing school recommendation for NW FL

[TMain]

My wife and I are looking into taking sailing lessons and would like any feedback or recommendations for any teachers/schools in northwest florida. Thanks for any help.

I won't be of much help, as wifey and I settled on a school in St. Petersburg. But in our search, we found this one. A decent amount of information on their website, and they did get back to us via email (unlike many others).

Emerald Coast Yachts

Here's another link with some ideas:

We're signed up with SmarterSail in St. Pete. We start class in mid-June. I may try to post about our experience blogger-style somewhere on this forum.

Emerald Coast is great. They are in Pensacola. Highly recommend.

Where exactly in NW Florida are you looking?
If you will be in the Pensacola area I like Lanier Sailing Academy, they are right in the historic district. Beutiful area and the owners, John and Cathy, are wonderful people and very good teachers.

Has anyone had any experience with Reef Runner Sailing School out of Panama City?
Thanks for any information.
