Description

Our day sail experiences from Plymouth are a great option for people who want to give sailing a try, or perhaps just want a fun day out on the water. You don’t need any prior experience to come sailing with us, and you can get involved as much (or as little!) as you like. Even if you have sailed before, our day sail experiences give you an ideal opportunity to brush up on your skills and increase your confidence on the water.

If you can’t see a suitable date, just email us to request one.

During your day sail, you will sail our 42′ sailing yacht in the sheltered waters of Plymouth Sound. Our experienced skippers will encourage you to helm, drop the anchor and trim the sails. Because we will only book a maximum of 5 guests onboard your day sail, you have plenty of hands-on experience.

Devon offers the most beautiful coastline, all accessible from our enviable starting location: Plymouth. As part of your day sail, you may choose to head towards Cawsands or Kingsands, Cornwall – a beautiful, sheltered bay where you can drop the anchor for lunch. In favourable conditions, you may head up the tranquil and unspoilt River Yealm, nestled in an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB).

Conveniently located at King Point Marina in Plymouth, we are just a 5-minute taxi ride from Plymouth mainline train station. Travelling by car from the South Hams (including Salcombe, Modbury, Bigbury Bay and Totnes) or Cornwall (Cawsands, Kingsands and Looe)? You will find pay and display parking conveniently located opposite the marina.

Let the wind fill the sails. Take the helm and see the world from a different perspective. 

Includes: Hot and cold drinks throughout the day.

In this case, please refer to our Terms and Conditions which can be found on our website. We recommend that you take out insurance in case YOU have to cancel your sailing experience due to personal circumstances.
