It's not every day you see a real Tall Ship sailing into the harbour, but you might be lucky this year as the tall ship Pelican is spending some of the summer months at home in Weymouth.

The Pelican offers a wonderful opportunity to view England's first natural World Heritage Site, the Jurassic Coast, which spans 95 miles from Exmouth in Devon to Studland Bay in Dorset. Sit back and enjoy the spectacular Jurassic coastline under sail aboard England's latest tall ship.

Day sails include a gourmet lunch, refreshments throughout the day and the opportunity to explore the ship. You may also chat with the experienced crew or get involved in sailing the ship.
