About Sailing and Yachting Experiences

Our fantastic sailing and yachting experiences range from hands-on ship steering to relaxing pleasure boating trips for two - perfect for an aquatic adventure with a loved one or friend. Set sail in a magnificent monohull sailing ship for an unforgetable sea-faring experience, or take a pleasure ride on a Tall Ship and see how these incredible machines are manned by their crews. Why not have a go at sailing with a half-day of lessons, or even gain an essential RYA qualification and become a serious sailor?

Facts About Yachting and Sailing Experiences

  • New Zealand's most famous yachtsmen Sir Peter James Blake secured two America's Cup Victories, won the Whitbread Round the World Race in 1989, and the Jules Verne Trophy in 1994 by setting the fastest time around the world of 74 days 22 hours 17 minutes 22 seconds on the catamaran "Enza". That's also a variety of apple in New Zealand, and the folk of that fair nation all wore red socks during his victories.
  • Credited with captaining the first circumnavigation of the globe, the Portuguese Ferdinand Magellan, in the midst of a thrashing tempest, discovered what's now known as The Magellan Strait, a route through the South American continent to the Pacific. Sailing for three years, Magellan met his unfortunate demise in the Philippines in 1521.

Men go back to the mountains, as they go back to sailing ships at sea, because in the mountains and on the sea they must face up.

Henry David Thoreau

Customer Reviews of our Yachting and Sailing experiences

I took my wife on your hands on sailing day as a surprise anniversary present. We were completely new to sailing so enjoyed having other participants around us learning to steer and hoist at the same time!

Brad Murphy, Kent

Breathtaking views, good food and lots of fun getting involved and learning about how to sail the yacht

Louise Skinner, Great Yarmouth

It was a brilliant introduction to the art of sailing, learnt lots about handling the boat and all the equipment and knots, so much crammed into one afternoon!
