A great way to get out sailing at a great price. Don't worry trying to find enough people to share the cost of a yacht, just book and pay for the number of berths you want. There's something in it for both novices and experienced alike and all are welcome. You might even meet some interesting new people too. If the boat is only part full, there's no extra to pay and all we need is a minimum of three. The price includes at least 2 days sailing, your accommodation onboard throughout, food/drink on the boat, berthing costs in marinas and fuel. Each trip is led by a professional skipper / sailing instructor, but there is plenty of opportunity to get involved.

We arrange weekend and longer cruises to a variety of destinations, always subject to weather conditions being suitable. A typical weekend might take us West to Poole, East to Brighton or South across the Channel to Cherbourg. Our skipper takes responsibility for the trip, but you can record the sea miles in your logbook as you are an important part of the crew and we would hope you get involved in all aspects of running the boat. Accommodation is in spacious cabins and on night sailings we use a watch system to provide more space for those off-watch. Trips often have a party atmosphere and we usually eat ashore as a group, although you always have the option of doing your own thing if you prefer.

All destinations are weather dependent and at the discretion of the skipper. If conditions prevent us achieving our planned destination safely, we will try to offer an alternative over the same dates. We need a minimum number of guests/crew to make trips safe, viable for us and enjoyable for you. If numbers are less than 3, we will refund any monies paid and, by way of saying sorry, we will also offer you a discount on your next booking with us. We provide food on board the yacht, marina costs, diesel and cooking gas. There is nothing else to pay except your own travel to/from our base, meals ashore and oilskin hire if you need it.
