Description

Experience the extravagance of a luxury skippered sailing yacht. After a safety briefing on board a luxury skippered sailing yacht, don sailing gear and a lifejacket. The yachtmaster instructor introduces to the basics of sailing, from hoisting the sails to helming and may even teach some sailing jargon. Depending on conditions, head out into the English Channel for some real open-water cruising, or go for a sightseeing tour along the beautiful Sussex coastline. Choose to take an active part in the sailing or just sit back in the cockpit and let the crew do the hard work. And once everyone is back on dry land, logbooks can be signed off for those who want to take their sailing further.
