the undersigned directors and officers of FLORIDIAN FINANCIAL GROUP, INC., a
Florida corporation (the Company), do hereby constitute and appoint Charlie
W. Brinkley, John D. Waters, and Michael V. Kearney, or any of them, our true
and lawful attorneys and agents with power of substitution and resubstitution
to sign in his or her name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, and to
do any and all things and execute any and all instruments that such attorney
may deem necessary or advisable under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and any rules, regulations and requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the Commission), in connection with the filing with the Commission of an Annual Report on
Form 10-K of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (the 2009
Form 10-K); including specifically, but without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the power and authority to sign his or her name in his or her
capacity as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company to the 2009 Form
10-K and such other form or forms as may be appropriate to be filed with the
Commission as he or she may deem appropriate, together with all exhibits
thereto, and to any and all amendments or supplements thereto and to any other
documents filed with the Commission, as fully for all intents and purposes as
he or she might or could do in person, and
hereby ratifies and confirms that said attorney-in-fact and agent, acting alone
may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

This
Power of Attorney will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of Florida. The execution of this Power of Attorney is not
intended to, and does not, revoke any prior powers of attorney other than the revocation,
in accordance with applicable laws, of any power of attorney previously granted

of the 2009 Form 10-K (and any and all related documents, including any
amendments or supplements to the 2009 Form 10-K).
