A truly outdoor weekend, combining sailing in the Solent with walking on the Western side if the Isle of Wight, as part of the Isle of Wight Walking Festival.

Join us on the Friday for a prompt 5pm departure, when we will sail directly to Yarmouth.

The following day we use local transport to join the Walking Festival at Freshwater Bay and undertake a 4-5 hour circular walk over Tennyson Down.
We then return to Yarmouth to rest, relax and explore. There is an option for an evening walk at 8pm – ‘Yarmouth Yarn Ghost Walk’(approximately 1.5 hours) . If your legs are too tired we will meet you in the pub later!

On Sunday we are back on the water, sailing the Solent to return to our berth in Gosport by mid/late afternoon.

What is included?
The cost of our weekends includes accommodation on board your yacht, breakfasts, lunches and our now famous homemade cake. We tend to eat ashore in the evenings (apart from when we are night sailing) so that everyone can stretch their legs (this cost is not included) or you can cook for yourself on the boat if you wish.

Our yachts are generally vegetarian. Breakfasts and lunches will be warm, tasty and filling but will not contain meat! By eating ashore in the evening a non-vegetarian diet can be catered for.

The only additional cost is a proportion of mooring fees which are split between those aboard. These vary between nil- £5 per night depending on where we stay.

Upon booking you will receive your Joining Instructions which provide a suggested list of what to bring. Sailing waterproofs are an important item, whatever the time of year, as they keep you warm and dry. We have these for you to borrow, free of charge. You are likely to have most other items on the list and we encourage clients to travel light because of the limited storage room on board.

Your Joining Instructions will also detail where to find us. We sail from Royal Clarence Marina in Gosport which is easily accessed by road (it is 20 minutes from the M27 at Fareham) or by train to Portsmouth Harbour (from Waterloo).

We look forward to sailing and walking with you!
