Anglia Sea Ventures

Day Sails offer a comprehensive hands-on sailing experience for enthusiastic sailors and novices alike. They are specifically geared towards all abilities and everyone is encouraged to helm and handle the sails.

The exact itinerary will depend on weather conditions and tides on the day but expect to join the yacht at 09:30 for coffee then after a safety briefing we will head out into the North Sea for a day sail. We may drop anchor off the coast for a light lunch or eat underway, returning to Ipswich by 16:30.

Lots of fun and great company!
