Not Just Sailing

Our voyages aren't just about sailing. See our Learning Outside the Classroom guide on how our voyages bring a different dimension to learning.

What About the Weather?

It's one of the first questions people ask — and a fair one. Our February and March voyages are carefully planned around the unique advantages of the sheltered waters of the East Coast and led by experienced crew who know how to make the most of every day on the water whatever the weather.

Comfortable and Prepared

We provide high-quality sailing waterproofs to keep you warm, dry and comfortable throughout your voyage. Combined with a warm cabin (the boat has heating throughout) and plenty of hot drinks, you'll be surprised how enjoyable early-season sailing can be.

Sheltered East Coast Waters

The East Coast offers extensive sheltered estuaries, rivers and anchorages. This gives us a huge variety of options and allows us to adapt our plans to suit the conditions.

Experienced Crew

Our professional crew have years of experience sailing these waters. Whatever the conditions, they are skilled at creating rewarding experiences while keeping comfort and safety at the forefront.
