Try Sailing
Whether you’ve never sailed before, or would like to return to sailing after a break, we’re here to help you decide what kind of boat you want to sail, and where to start.
Clothing: Dress warm and bring a rain coat (even if the sun is splitting the rocks), it is much cooler out on the water and you want to make sure you enjoy your time out there.
Safety: Personal Flotation Devices (buoyancy aids and life jackets) will be provided and it is a requirement to wear them at all times while on and around the water. All boats will have experienced skippers in control and safety boat cover is on hand at all times.
