Sailing Experience Day Sails - Sail For The Day - Only £99
Ever wondered what it 's like to sail a traditional square rigged sailing ship? Well here is your chance...
Join the TS Pelican and enjoy a great sailing experience - "before the mast" on a square rigged tall ship from a bygone era (ages 16-80).
What is a Day Sail? Do I need any sailing experience?
It's a taster! Come aboard TS Pelican as a passenger and experience the beautiful Jurassic Coast, England's first natural World Heritage Site, spanning 95 miles from Exmouth in Devon to Studland Bay in Dorset.
Get involved in pulling lines, setting sail and steering the ship, all under the supervision of our expert crew. Alternatively, sit back, relax and enjoy the complete experience!
Day sails are for the whole family (12-16-year-olds must be accompanied by an adult).
A hearty lunch and refreshments throughout the day are included.
There's also an opportunity to explore the ship.
What can I expect from my sailing experience?
Please arrive between 0900 and 0930. You will be met by one of our team who will confirm your arrival on a passenger list. There is a designated area for you to leave any bags, coats etc (at your own risk).
