Take to the water

Would you like a life on the ocean waves?

Last month saw the yachting fraternity descend on Cowes for the annual yachting extraveganza known as Cowes Week. A record number of entries meant that 1,036 boats experienced some world-class racing during the Week and enjoyed an exciting and varied social scene off the water in Cowes.

Having that many boats (and hunky sailors - ahem) on your doorstep certainly gets you in the mood for a bit of sailing and so it's appropriate that this gift does just that.

This adventure aboard the Jeanneau 36.2 Sun Odyssey will surely be an experience you won't forget. You will have plenty of opportunities to be at the helm as well as handling the sails with fellow crew members. Your day will also include light refreshments.

On arrival you will receive an initial safety briefing and boat familiarisation. This is a large boat and as such, you will share this experience with up to seven other people and a skipper.

You will have to be quick however as the experience is only available from April to October (for obvious weather reasons) so if you want to make a splash you better book quickly. You can book a half day or full day and can go solo or with a partner. For each of these choices simply click the relevant link below:
