Day sails are a 'taster' experience of the Brigs program, giving an opportunity to see if a longer summer course would be your thing! Each year we offer overnight voyages and tall ship camp for youth aged 12 to 18, along with a couple overnight Adult Sails!

Please select the sail you wish to book from the below options.

For any other questions email [email protected].

The schedule for all day sails is:

• 20mins Before Departure - Arrive at vessel, check-in 
• Departure time - embark, safety briefing and basic training
• Vessel departs dock - work with crew to get vessel out on the water
• Sailing time! - Learn how to manoeuvre a tall ship, haul lines and set sails with our skilled youth crew
• Vessel returns to dock - Put your new skills to work and help moor the vessel once again
• Disembark - and dream about a summer on the water ;)

Other Info:

• If a day sail is sold out it will not appear below. We regularly add new day sails, so check back again soon!
• Please complete a profile for each person for whom you are purchasing a ticket. Tickets cannot be bought in bulk, only 1 ticket per person per sail. 
• All of our programs are only for those aged 12+ and run rain or shine, so be prepared with appropriate attire if the weather predicts inclement weather. The programming is very hands-on as we are a sail training organization. We do not offer pleasure cruises. 
• For your safety and for the best experience, please determine your level of physical fitness as sails are hands-on. You must be fit enough to climb ladders and move around. We are open to accomodating many disabilities. To read more about what to expect, refer to our physically and mentally fit page for more details.
