Sailing Experience Days: Ahoy there! Take to the high seas aboard an authentic tall-ship during this traditional sailing experience, in Dorset. Cast off from Portland Marina, and join the crew for a two-hour voyage around Southern England’s scenic Jurassic coastline.
Your ship is a classic gaff-rigged cutter, built by the Dutch in 1930. Upon arrival, the proud sight of her is sure to impress keen sailors and landlubbers alike. You’ll climb aboard and begin a journey that will take in Weymouth Bay and Portland Harbour Forts. Along the way, you’ll have a chance to try your hand at various onboard duties – like weighing anchor, hoisting the mainsail, and even taking the helm! Your knowledgeable crew will do their best to ensure you make the most of the opportunity, and leave with a truer understanding of the wind’s awesome power. If that all sounds a bit too much like hard work though – fret not – you’re welcome to just sit back and savour the sea air.
The Two-Hour Tallship Sailing Experience, in Dorset, will delight budding seafarers of all ages, and a voucher makes an unforgettable gift for a loved one, or first mate.
