Lounge around or swim off the stern of the yacht during the day and enjoy a BBQ on the beach at night.

Mileage Building - Opportunities are plentiful to get extra miles under your belt. Whether you are working towards a qualification or just want to gain extra miles and experience and put the skills you have already achieved into practice we can arrange a sailing experience or holiday that gives you exactly what you want.

Corporate Sailing - Blend adrenaline with luxury! Why not treat those that have helped you in business? This is a fantastic way to reward both special customers and your own staff who have surpassed your expectations. They can enjoy an experience that is different and one that they will talk about for a long time afterwards. Alternatively why not use sailing as a team building experience? Your staff dynamics will be strengthened whilst they enjoy themselves!
