If you are feeling a little more adventurous why not try one of our cruising events. Whether you are looking to gain mileage and experience towards your RYA sailing qualifications, or want to try something more challenging than our “Fun Days.”

Experience the thrill of sailing a full commercial specification ocean going yacht “off shore”  for one day around the Isle of Wight, two days overnighting in  Pool or Chichester or even a three day trip to the north coast of France and back, with up to six others. We can tailor the trip to your requirements, whether you want to sit back and enjoy the cruise, or take an active part and get involved with the navigation and watch keeping duties. All under the experienced eye of your Yachtmaster skipper.
