Experience the excitement & adventure of offshore sailing

No prior sailing experience is required and we aim to make our voyages as accessible as possible. We are part of the Scout movement, but crews from all walks of life are welcome to sail with us. As well as Scout troops, Explorer Scout units and Scout Networks, other regular users include educational establishments, youth groups, Sea Cadets, universities, adult groups, Duke of Edinburgh Award groups, junior sailing clubs, etc.

Group vs. individual bookings

Most of our voyages are available to be booked by either whole groups or as individuals. With two boats available each with space for up to 11 people, we are able to cater for groups of all sizes (by special arrangement, it is sometimes possible to accept bookings for 12 crew members).

Age range

Our sailing programme is aimed predominantly at young people, with the target age range for our crews being from 14 to 25 years. However, we frequently take individuals outside of this range. By prior arrangement we may also beable to sail with some crew below this age range and we do also sail with adult groups, particularly during the school summer term when many young people will be unable to sail with us due to their exams. Previous adult groups have included scout and other youth leaders, or organisations wishing to utilise our boats for corporate team building.

We aim to be as flexible as possible; however some voyages during specific events may be age restricted; such as Tall Ships Races which are typically limited to the 15-25 age range.

Disabilities & other special needs

Although our vessels are not specifically adapted for people with disabilities, we aim to make our voyages as accessible as possible and are always willing to discuss any specific requirements for disabled crew or those with special needs. We may be able to make certain adaptations to the planned programme, or arrange to carry extra equipment, adult carers, etc. In the first instance, please contact us to discuss how we may able to help.
