What To Expect
A fantastic opportunity for a party of 1 to 8, to try a hands on experience, sailing a 10 metre Beneteau Oceanis Clipper yacht on Windermere. Get as involved as you like, hoisting and trimming the sails, tacking, jibing and steering the ocean going yacht. Alternatively you can sit back, relax, enjoy the scenery and let me do all the work! It doesn't matter if you're a keen sailor or looking for a first time experience, we can tailor the trip to suit your party. I have sailed on Windermere for many years and love letting people sail my fabulous yacht and experience the magic of being on Windermere.
