AAA Sailing Experience - Just do it!
From the get go Stewart was friendly, informative and professional.The yacht was a beauty and Stewart took me around her explaining as he went.Once out into Plymouth Sound he put me completely at ease as well as explaining everything we were doing and why.We went here there and everywhere around Plymouth Sound following the wind.Great anchor spot in a bay with a bit of lunch and our quest for wind continued.It definitely ignited a real passion to explore sailing further!AAA Experience Thank you Stewart and Devon Sailing Experiences for a truly unforgettable day.

I took my little brother on this trip as a birthday present and we had a great time! We were able to get stuck in and help out, but this was not mandatory! You could sit down and get comfy and enjoy the trip if you’d like, but we wanted to get stuck in and learn. Great skipper, fantastic boat and just an all round great experience, highly recommend!

I had an absolutely wonderful days sailing experience. Everything was so well organised, the yacht was modern and very comfortable. Our Skipper for the day was superb, very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, personable and great fun to be with. It was one of the best days I've had in a long time! ROger99-12 13. August, 2024 Day sailing package
Had a fantastic day sailing around Plymouth Sound. The skipper, Stewart, was informative and very good humoured, making the day enjoyable and useful to me as I had not been sailing for a while and wanted to 'refresh' my skills. Would recommend Devon Sailing highly. DP19 12. August, 2024 Great day out
This was our second day sail, although a few years apart! It was purchased as a retirement gift. Our skipper was Stewart who was very knowledgeable (as you would expect). A great day out, although the cloud cover meant we did not see the best of the coastline. It was lots of fun especially the morning when the wind was very favourable and allowed us to reach good speed which added to the excitement. The other guys added to the day as well. Would do it all again. Thanks Stewart for your patience and encouragement. stevenbjones 12. August, 2024 Besotted with Bewitched!
I am a 64 year old Plymouth man who was brought up around small craft including sailing yachts, as a yougnster and in adult life owned a couple of small cabin cruisers myself. Notwithstanding this, I have always said to my Wife that I would like to have a go a sailing a proper ocean going sailing yacht. As a birthday gift she purchased a day's sailing on board the Devon Sailing yacht, Bewitched. Whilst a little sceptical of such an experience living up to my expectations, I duly turned up with an open mind and full of excitment and expectation. Our Skipper for the day, Stewart, met myself and my three fellow crew members at KIng Point Marina, showed us around the maggnificent vessel and delivered his obligatory safety briefing as cheerfully and as interestingly as humanley possible. What followed was a superb, action packed day of proper sailing under the expert supervision and tuition of what became clear, was a vastly experieced and competent skipper. From the adrenalin rush of changing tack whilst the yacht's heeling over at 8 knots, to the tranqui lunch in Cawsand Bay I had an absolutely stunning day! Many thanks to Devon Sailing and in particular, Skipper Stewart for being a top bloke and teaching an old (sea) dog some new tricks! Bridget P 5. August, 2024 A great sailing experience.
Our 5 day sailing experience was everything I hoped for. The winds were light and the sun shining. We were able to sail most days between Plymouth and Falmouth and on the last day the wind got up. Katie and team were very helpful at every stage, even suggesting hire of sailing gear and picking it up for me. Our skipper Stewart was experienced, knowledgeable and kind. He helped each crew member to build sailing skills and confidence at individual levels. Good company and good sailing. Wonderful scenery. Thank you everyone. Mark K 16. July, 2024 Fabulous Scillies Trip July 2024
We have just returned from a superb sailing trip to the Scillies. Our skipper Mick was excellent, he ensured that we got the maximum benefit of a very hands on sailing experience as well as visiting the beautiful islands. His professionalism, attention to safety and detail could not be faulted. He was also great company to be with.Bewitched is a lovely yacht, clean and well maintained.This is the 3 rd time we have sailed with Devon sailing and the 2 nd time with Mick, the other instructor Guy was also excellent.We highly recommend them as a company and the trip to the Scillies as a “mile building” week end.We definitely plan to sail with them again.

My husband got his day skipper qualification last year but we wanted to gain some more experience ahead of our first bareboat charter in Greece this summer. We had two weekends with RYA instructors and learnt loads. Everything was very well organised, and Katie went the extra mile to make sure we were well looked after. Highly recommended. Gabrielle 12.
