Learn about sailing in an informal atmosphere from an expert instructor
The freedom of an evening sailing on open water
Put theory into practice as an active member of the crew
or simply just relax on deck and enjoy the view

Experiencing the extravagance of a luxury skippered sailing yacht could be a superb end to a romantic day, or the perfect start to a night on the town. Start with a safety briefing on board a Sigma 26ft performance yacht, then don some official sailing gear and a lifejacket. Willing participants can take the wheel and actively partake in some sailing, or if that sounds too daunting, just sit back and enjoy the cruise and views of Brighton and Hove with fellow crew members. Light refreshments (water, juice, teas, coffees and light snacks) are provided during the sail. And then once everyone is back on dry land, logbooks can be signed off for those who want to take their sailing further.
