Sailing Taster
This is the perfect way to discover if sailing lives up to the hype!. It will give you a great taste of what it’s like to be on the water and start to take control of the boat. This is a hands-on session where you will be able to take control of the boat – not just be a passenger.
This day session is taken onboard our Lagoon 380 Catamaran and requires a minimum of 4 people.
Certain items from the RYA syllabus will be included, but please note this is not an RYA accredited course, although it will be run by a fully qualified RYA instructor. If you wish to participate in an RYA Sailing Course please click here
