Looking to improve your sailing level & confidence? Then these yachts are for you.

 

Adventure sails on the 2 matched, performance Pronavia 38s are fantastic for gaining valuable miles, Coastal Skipper style preparations, YachtMaster level qualifying 60 mile passages, sail trim training, night hours and opportunities to practice coastal & offshore navigation, real world passage planning and pilotage.

 

 

Everyone will be given the opportunity to improve and progress with their sailing skills at their own level and pace.  There will be a commercially endorsed Skipper on board, known to and vetted by us, enabling you to feel comfortable and safe, meaning you can relax and be able to learn and draw on their knowledge.  We will run watch systems, allowing you to gain night hours and we will give you the opportunity where we can, to fulfil skippered passages of over 60 miles.   There will be a maximum of 6 people onboard plus skipper for each leg, usually allowing 2 people to be on watch together.

Our routing and ports of call along the way will be flexible and weather dependent and everyone on board will be invited to be included in passage planning.  This will be a great opportunity to build on your existing sailing experience and enjoy these magnificent performance yachts.
