SAILING TRIP

£895
One week, three ports, 7 people, 550 miles. Enough time to master sailing basics, perfect your sea legs, and discover that the North Sea does, in fact, have a sense of humour.

We’ll sail past the White Cliffs of Dover, cross the North Sea, and enjoy two brilliant days exploring Amsterdam’s canals, cafés, and culture. Then we head back via Ramsgate before returning to Gosport — a full and memorable loop. Whether you’re completely new to sailing or already have experience, this voyage is ideal if you fancy a week powered by wind and good company. You can learn to steer, trim sails, navigate, or simply relax while our skipper handles the sailing.

Expect proper offshore adventure, great city exploring, and the unbeatable feeling of life at sea!
