A fun way to build your miles, your experience and longer passages with this south coast of England mile builder.
The expedition yachts use this route to get to and from their main expeditions and this is a great opportunity to sail on them at a greatly reduced price, build your miles and experience, and learn from really experienced sailors.
Includes passage planning, training, and some friendly 30-50nm (6-8 hr) races, followed by a beer or two in delightful southern coast sailing towns.
++ No experience needed. Perfect for solos or groups, all ages ++
++ A low cost sailing experience on a racing yacht ++
++ Three yachts, 24 crew, 6 skippers/mates ++
You can expect to build around 200 miles, possibly gain some 60 mile passages and experience night sailing, weather dependent. It’s a rare opportunity to learn from and sail with expert skippers and see how they run a larger sailing vessel. There will usually be two or three stops along the way, a mix of anchorages and marinas. If you’re wanting to learn or build sailing skills, this is a real win.
During your sailing adventure you’ll be on board as guest crew with up to eight other sailors alongside two professionals on a 60ft blue water expedition yacht. Onboard expect to learn a lot, brush up skills, explore and have fun with a group of like-minded individuals. With 90% joining these sailing adventures solo it’s usually a 50:50 male and female split. Be it a coastal, offshore voyage or skill building sailing trip these sailing experiences are ideal for both new and experienced sailors joining solo or in groups. Most routes don’t require previous sailing experience and top quality training on the yacht is embedded into all of them.

Tour operator
We love this sailing company’s ethos – to help people do three things: sail, train and explore. They are passionate about enabling people to experience life out on the open ocean, building sailing skills and exploring some beautiful countries. After years of training people to become professional sailors, and having covered thousands of miles between them, the company Founders realised that so many people had dreamt of setting off across an ocean, but hadn’t the skills, the boat or crew to make those dreams come true.
The company now runs expeditions on a specialised 60’ yacht to some of the most exciting places out there – often largely inaccessible from land. With no previous sailing experience required, the two instructors will guide you every step of the way as you develop your sailing skills, maybe even earning an RYA qualification during the week. Exploring on land as they go is just as important and the bikes and a kayak mean you can head off and enjoy everything there is to see along the route.
