Regions
The Cruising Ground
Solent & Dorset
Bareboat | Skippered | Crewed
The Solent, situated between the Isle of Wight and the South Coast is where the beautiful New Forest meets the sea. This breathtaking part of the country enjoys sheltered waters for most of the year as the land masses protect the sea from both wind and waves that would otherwise roll in from the English Channel. This stretch of water is home to dozens of marinas, harbours and anchorages, offering endless sailing options.
The Jurassic Coast is a beautiful coastline that stretches 95 miles from Dorset to Devon. The dramatic cliffs and stunning coves are at their very best when viewed from the water

Devon & Cornwall
Bareboat | Skippered | Crewed
Devon and Cornwall form the far southwest tip of England, extending into the Atlantic ocean. Sandy beaches and picturesque landscapes make this one of Britain’s most visited areas for sightseeing. The southeast-facing coast around Torquay and Paignton has become known as the ”English Riviera” due to its award-winning sandy beaches and exotic palm trees.
On the southern tip of Devon, the coast is rockier and characterised by many inlets and small estuaries, these are very popular with yachtsmen while the north coast is popular with surfers and hikers. The Cornish coast on the other hand boasts hidden coves, peaceful estuaries and the stunning Isles of Scilly.
Clyde & Hebrides
Bareboat | Skippered | Crewed
Both Clyde Estuary and the Hebrides have beautifully sheltered waters but very strong tides. The Firth of Clyde is a renowned sailing destination with convenient facilities stretching from the bustling city of Glasgow. Enjoy charming islands, Whiskey distillery tours and tasting sessions along the beautiful coast.
Sailing along the outer Hebrides is equally satisfactory with six marinas constructed and open along the island’s east coast from Stornoway to Barra. Here sailors are spoilt for choice as a network of marinas offers a choice between fully serviced first-rate facilities or isolated wilderness anchorages. For those eager for adventure, the west coast offers white sandy beaches, sea lochs, and small island groups leading to St Kilda.
