Island hopping in the Scillies | Newcomers to Classic Craft
Exotic Gardens of Cornwall | Brittany and French Festivals
Women go Wild


Island hopping in the Scillies
6 day voyages
May to September

Escape to the quiet, unspoilt Isles of Scilly, where there are about 50 small islands each basking in a mild Gulf Stream climate, each with an abundance of wild flowers, birds and marine life.
Try snorkelling off the boat in crystal clear waters, or beachcomb along empty white sand beaches.

Newcomers to Classic Craft
3 days or 6 day voyages March to October

Whether you are a newcomer to sailing or an experienced hand, you'll love to learn sailing Eve of St Mawes. Sail handling, taking the helm, navigating, taking your watch or just striking a fetching pose at the bows, all will add to the salty tales you can tell when you get home.
Both Skippers are very experienced at sailing with whole crews who have never sailed before, but whatever your level of experience we will give you a most enjoyable holiday.

Exotic gardens of Cornwall
3 day voyages
April and May

Many of Britain's most beautiful gardens are to be found along the south coast of Cornwall, where the mild winters allow many sub-tropical plants to thrive. This voyage would take you to as many of these lush, exotic gardens as is practicable by boat in 3 days. Between each stop you can sample from afloat the wilder, often otherwise inccessible, natural beauty of Cornwall's coastline and river valleys.

Brittany and French Festivals
8 or 9 day voyages May to August

Heading further south to destinations of stunning grandeur. Sample French cooking and enjoy excellent wines along with a warm welcome at all the Maritime Festivals. Tall Ships at St Malo and Paimpol Shanty Festival in 1999 and Brest and Douarnenez in 2000. See current schedule pages for full details.

Women go Wild
3 or 6 day voyages April to October

Fed up sailing with men? Fancy a wild weekend with the girls?.
Prove to yourself what you can do; enjoy fresh air and healthy exercise, or simply just get away from it all. Come alone and meet new people with similar interests, or come as a group, either way Debbie will skipper you from one excitement to the next!
