Tampa area?? April 6-8??

[gyroplanes]

My travels take me to Wauchula, Florida April 3-6. It is a desire of mine to sail around Tampa bay some day. It's on my bucket list. I have nothing to show for my 50 years of sailing, except a 20 year old Coast Guard sailing class and hundreds of hours at the helm. I own and sail a MAC 26X, used to own a MAC 25, Southcoast 22 and a sailing kayak
Anyone have an idea where I might rent a smaller boat like ours in the Tampa area? Maybe even a Catalina 30 or 36?
I have rented Catalinas and similar small boats and sailed the Keys and the Bahamas. I was able to rent a MAC 26X in Door County, Wisconsin several years ago, that's why I bought one.

Any help appreciated,
Tom

Tom,

I have no experience with either of these but here are a couple sailboat rental places conveniently located in the St Petersburg area:
