The family / group sailing weeks enable you to learn to sail or just have a great sailing 'staycation' as a family or group of friends. This is ideal flotilla preparation or preparation for taking your family or mates on your first bare-boat charter in the mediterranean or further afield should you desire. Sailing together or learning how to sail, being involved in the day to day running of the boat, preparing lines, hoisting sails, navigating the waters safely and most importantly having fun.
These weeks can be between 5 - 7 days and can be tailored to meet your requirements, we can stay in the exciting and busy waters of the Solent and visit some of the beautiful harbours on the Isle of Wight and New Forest or for the longer trips perhaps cross the channel and investigate Northern France or the Channel Islands.
These trips are all skippered by an RYA qualified instructor so RYA qualifications can be undertaken during the holiday. Prices are from £2750 for a 5 day trip and are all inclusive for up to 6 people (5 if RYA qualifications are being taken).
The price includes all food on board (three meals a day plus snacks), mooring fees, fuel and use of waterproof clothing.
You could also book any 5 or 7 day period from 17th May 2021

Testimonials
The week was fun with time to relax with an rest at anchor in Osborne Bay for a swim, we watched a race at Seaview, in fact we became one of the race markers, conducted a night sail in the style of Apocalypse Now and had the unique opportunity to join the flotilla welcoming sail the Queen Elizabeth Aircraft carrier into Portsmouth for the first time. Everything on board was organised and surprisingly comfortable with TV and pillows included - you just need a sleeping bag and clothes that are easy to wear to move around the boat. All the meals were provided and were really tasty.
Jim was a great mentor and is really committed and passionate about sailing and an enthusiastic teacher - we learnt lots and had a brilliant time.
We are now ready to join a flotilla in Greece or maybe charter a boat and bimble about the Solent.
