Yacht Sailing Experience Days

There’s nothing in the world quite like yacht sailing. Gliding across the surface of the ocean, with the wind in your hair, the splash of the waves, and the sail billowing overhead, you feel an incomparable sense of tranquillity and oneness with your environment. 

Yacht sailing has so many benefits from improving cardiovascular health, improving concentration, and increasing agility to lowering stress levels and reducing anxiety. It’s also a highly sustainable activity that harnesses the natural power of the wind and waves. 

Dorset boasts one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the United Kingdom. With unique geological features like Durdle Door, and Lulworth Cove, there are few places that provide such a beautiful backdrop for a sailing experience. Take an unforgettable 5-hour trip off Dorset’s rugged Jurassic coast on a stately tall ship, join a full-day sailing experience from lovely Lymington, or go full ‘sailing lifestyle’ with a live-aboard boating experience on a 2-days and 2-nights sail along the South Coast. 

The quintessential seaside town, Brighton is a superb spot for a yacht sailing experience. Treat yourself to a 2-hour sunset sail on a performance yacht. Seeing the city skyline from the water, as the sky turns a rainbow of colours, is an experience you won’t forget in a hurry. Get a qualification while enjoying your yachting experience, with a beginners yachting weekend in Brighton. Under the guidance of your skipper, gain an RYA ‘Start Yachting’ certificate that counts towards the ‘Competent Crew’ certificate, while having the most amazing couple of days on the waters off the South Coast. 

The Solent, the strait between the Isle of Wight and Great Britain, is famous for being one of the premier yachting areas in the world, with picturesque locations and protected waters. Enjoy a Solent yacht sailing experience with a delicious included lunch, and either relax with a glass of bubbles, or get involved with the crew before sailing past the Isle of Wight, Beaulieu and the iconic Needles. Don’t forget your camera! 

Scotland is a pretty special location for a yacht sailing experience as well. Spend a half or full day exploring the stunning Fife coast and sailing round Edinburgh’s bridges and islands. Get involved with crewing the vessel, or just kick back and soak up the scenery. You might even catch sight of a porpoise if you’re lucky! 

A yacht sailing experience would make a generous gift for anybody with a sense of adventure or a love of the ocean.
