Yacht Sailing Trip

A classy and stylish event

This is a classy and stylish event from Brighton Marina aboard our performance yachts. Enjoy a fantastic sailing cruise aboard our yachts along the Brighton coastline. This can be a hands on experience or you can simply choose to kick back and relax with drink in hand whilst viewing the sights of Brighton from the sea. You will start and finish your cruise in Brighton Marina which offers an array of shops, restaurants, bars, a multi complex cinema and even a casino for some après sail and group bonding.

With your skipper you will board the yacht and after a safety briefing head out of Brighton Marina into the blue blue. Once past the marina you will set sail along the Brighton coast soaking up the atmosphere of the ocean whilst viewing Brighton and the Sussex coastline. If you want to be an active crew member your skipper will show you how to hoist the sails, trim the main and take the helm – yes, you will be able to steer the yacht!

Weather permitting, you may take a dip in the sea and enjoy a drink onboard. Our two hour yacht sail is a truly unforgettable therapeutic experience not to be missed!

  • Initial safety briefing and a basic introduction into sailing
  • Relax and take in views of Brighton whilst soaking up the atmosphere
  • Take the helm and hoist the sails under instruction from our experienced skipper
  • Enjoy a drink onboard
  • Perfect for groups

“Just to say thank you for taking us out on the boat last Wednesday. We had a great time taking in the Brighton coastline, being chased off the windfarm, and learning a bit about sailing. You hosted us very well including keeping us well fed!

Thank you so much to you and your team for being so reactive and organising something so last minute! It seems the group has a great time.”

Pierre Gouverneur

“The yacht trip it was the most perfect evening and the bride was literally speechless. Your skipper and his mate were absolutely amazing and really made it a fun time. Thank you again so much it will never be forgotten.”

Amy Thompson

Great evening. We spent our last evening in Brighton on this cruise. It was the perfect end of our week. Our captain and his mate were great. We were able to help with the sails.

    For the sailing trips you are welcome to bring drinks (except red wine), there is a large fridge onboard the yacht. For snacks just bear in mind the motion of the boat so it is not practical to lay out food.

    To drive a jet ski you need to be 16+. Powerboat rides as a guide are 12+. We do not recommend pregnant women or persons with bad backs to partake in the jet ski or powerboat rides.

    The superbly situated Malmaison Brighton hotel very close to Lagoon Watersports, boasts lovely bedrooms with a brasserie and sea-views. If you would like a cheaper alternative there are apartments to rent in the marina or B&Bs near to Brighton Marina in Kemptown. Airbnb or bookings.com are good sites to find apartments and B&Bs.

    Part of the enjoyment of our activities out on the ocean is being in the elements, so it is important to be versatile to make the best of the conditions. If we cannot run an activity on a day due to weather conditions and high winds we are fortunate that we can move your activity to Hove Lagoon (4 miles away) where our inland lagoon next to the beach will give shelter for an alternative activity. We cannot refund any event unless we cannot offer any alternative activity or find suitable alternative dates.

    Yes, we run all these events from Barcelona. For more information go to: www.barcelonawatersports.es

    We have an experienced and professional team of instructors that teach: RYA Sailing Level 1, RYA Sailing Level 2 and RYA Sailing Level 3.

    Our sailing courses are run on our 24ft Delphia Keelboats. A Keelboat is a step up in size from dinghies, more like a small manageable yacht but not as big as a cruising yacht. They can bridge the gap between dinghies and cruisers, offering many benefits of both, to the adult beginner. Yacht sailing is on bigger sailing yacht and requires different more intensive training, such as; RYA Competent Crew and RYA Dayskipper.

    The two day RYA Sailing Level 1

    Our "Learn to Sail" course is run over two weekends and covers RYA Sailing Level 1 and Level 2. By the end you should be able to take a small sail boat out to sea confidently in light weather conditions.

    Maximum 4 persons per boat. The instructor will be onboard for most of the training but they start to teach from the safety boat in the level 2 to give you more independence.

    Over weekends, from March to October. We do also run one weekday courses and private tuition.

    The courses start from our base in Brighton Marina: Pontoon 6, Brighton Marina, Brighton, East Sussex BN2 5UP, UK.

    We provide specialist equipment. In the winter months it can be cold, thermals, fleeces, woolly hats are all useful to have. During the summer months bring sun hats, sun block and sun glasses. Quick drying clothes can be very practical instead of jeans and good none slip, non marking footwear. Trainers often work well. We hire out our Musto waterproofs if required.

    Part of the enjoyment of sailing is being out in the elements, so it is important to be versatile to make the best of the conditions. If we cannot sail on a day due to weather conditions we will endeavour to cover theory and other useful skills such as mooring practice, rigging and de-rigging. At times we might cut short a course in which case you will be offered further day/s/times at another suitable date.

    We have our Coastal Sailing Club, that gives regular access to the water with clinics and racing for members. For more information go on our Coastal Sailing Club
