WOW What a BUZZzzzz

This was my second go at flying, and what a buzzzzz got out of the plane and was still flying will defiantly be doing it again. Enjoyed it immensely.

Bad Wind

Despite a few early meteorological challenges, we ended up having a great time - teenagers took to it like a duck to water, and it didn’t even take too long for the parents to get to grips with the steering and how to use the wind. Andy was a great instructor, and happy to leave us to it once the weather had made up its mind

Christmas present for partner

This was an amazing experience, a lot of fun, very informative and as involved as we wanted it to be. Matt was very friendly, experienced and helped make it something special. My partner has never sailed and absolutely loved it!! The food was fresh and tasty and staff in the restaurant were very friendly - we were also lucky to choose a date that included live music! Brilliant! We would highly recommend this experience to anyone!! The only disappointment was the glass of bubbly not being provided; we had raspberry lemonade and a bag of crisps. Lemonade was lovely but not what we expected. Can't really complain as it was AWESOME!!!

Exhilarating fun

This was a gift from my daughter for my 70th birthday.. The site was a huge field with plenty of room to manoeuvre. The instructions were clear and it felt safe as well as exhilarating. I found it quick to get going and enjoyed the thrill.

Sailing experience

We had a great time - Ian was very good and explained the controls to us both - I think he had a bit of a laugh as I certainly wont make it to be a sailor !

A delightful day out

We had a lovely 5+ hours sailing. Nick and Paul, our crew, were friendly, chatty & cooked up a delicious lunch onboard. Such an enjoyable day out. Thank you
