The Sailing Experience

Learn to sail in a beautiful environment.
Learn to sail in the beautiful, protected waters of Poole harbour

Taster Sessions

If you fancy a go in a sailing dinghy, we can offer you, and up to two of your friends, a one hour taster session in our Wayfarer or Laser 2000 with an instructor. We will take you for a sail in the harbour, and weather permitting, you will be able to take the helm. We will provide a buoyancy aid and a waterproof top, but you will need to be prepared to get wet, and bring a change of clothes! (See the 'What to Wear' section on the ‘Information' page). These sessions take place most Sundays and need to be pre-booked.

Price £20 per person or £45 for 3 persons.

Bespoke Sessions

We can provide “made to measure” sailing activities for groups of up to 12 persons of any age from 8 upwards. These are half day or full day sessions. Examples include:

Harbour Tour

An instructor will take up to 4 persons for a scenic sail in the Wayfarer dinghy. This tour is ideal for family groups and no previous sailing experience is necessary. Price £50 for 1½ hours, longer trips can be arranged.

Explore the harbour

Sailing around the islands accompanied by a safety boat, enjoying the beautiful scenery and wildlife. Suited to those with some prior sailing experience – for example after completing our introduction to sailing course.

Learn as a group

An introduction to sailing in single handers, these sessions are popular with families, hen and stag parties or just a group of friends. Suitable for all abilities from complete beginner.

Corporate and team-building events

We can arrange packages to include windsurfing and/or powerboat rides. Round off the day with a meal at Shell Bay Restaurant or a barbeque on the beach.
