This is a half day discovery session on a Keelboat aimed at getting the family, including younger sibling and parents, afloat to try sailing and start their adventure! On this 3 hour experience, everyone can have a go at steering the boat and trimming the sails while exploring Southampton by sea.

There are no pre-requirements for this session, however all participants must fit into a Life Jacket which is usually age 4+.

Meals

Participants should bring a packed lunch, you are welcome to use the fridge and microwave at the centre. Alternatively, lunch can be purchased from nearby shops and restaurants.

Refreshments

Hot drinks and water are available from the Centre.

Valuables

We do have a small safe onsite that can hold phones and car keys, however we suggest leaving expensive valuables at home.
