Weekend Cruises
These 3-4 day weekends (often over a Bank Holiday) offer adventurous sailing for those wanting more experience and an opportunity for mileage building.

Destinations include the Channel Islands, France and the south coast.

Sailing and Walking Weekends
An opportunity to combine sailing with walking in the beautiful New Forest and the chance for some 'twitching' too!

Racing
With the emphasis on the word FUN we enter yacht races including the Round the Island Race, Cowes Week, the Benetau Cup and longer distance races to France.

Festival Weekends
Combine a weekend of sailing with a Saturday night of outdoor music including the Osborne House Last Night of the Proms and Mottistone Jazz.

How our weekends work
Our Sailing Weekends generally begin on a Friday evening. Join us for a meal, a drink and introductions before we set sail. We then return to our marina at Gosport on mid/late Sunday afternoons.

A full itinerary and what to bring list will be sent to you upon booking and you can borrow waterproofs from us free of charge.

The cost of your sailing weekend includes your accommodation aboard your yacht, home cooked breakfasts and lunches (all diets catered for) and drinks (non alcoholic). Evening meals are not included, although you may cook aboard if you wish.

A proportion of mooring fees (split between those aboard) are your only additional expense.

Even though we offer great value for money, we know it' s not all about
the price! It is about the quality of the weekend and our skippers are
sensitive to your individual needs.
