2 Week Adventure
Galway, France, Scillies, Waterford - where does the wind want to take us this time. On this 2 week Adventure Mile Building we leave the final destination to the wind gods. This allows us to choose a route that gives the most comfortable sailing and the most fun. This trip should manage to build up around 700 nautical miles - very handy if working towards taking your Yachtmaster Practical exam. Your skipper is a qualified YM instructor, so he can teach you a few skills along the way.

Weekend Escapes
Sometimes we just need a weekend away from it all - no wifi at sea and you can leave your mobile behind. Once you arrive to Adrigole harbour you will be well on your way to a memoriable little holiday.
Jump on board on Saturday morning for a full safety briefing, slip on your shades, dab some sun cream on your nose and your set to go.. A weekend of cruising in Bantry Bay, with Garnish Island, Bere Island, Dunboy Castle, Dursey Sound, Zetland, Loanhart Harbour are just a few of the beauty spots to stop for lunch or cruise by. Ship wrecks, lighthouses, fishing boats and of course numerous sea birds keep you entertained as you sit and wonder at the beauty of it all.

Ladies Only
Join a week of cruising with women clients only - a great way for women to learn the ropes without the pressure of their man! We can help you become a good strong crew through a fun week of cruising or following the formal scheme of Comp Crew or Day Skip.
