Would highly recommend the sailing taster session, me and my 18 year old daughter enjoyed a great session learning how to sail in a wayfairer. They have very experienced sailors who are brilliant teachers, and cater for beginners to experts. It was the highlight of our trip to Cornwall! If my 18 year old daughter enjoyed it, anyone can! She loved hanging off the side, so much so she wants to join the local sailing club!
Fantastic service from Poppy who was very friendly and reassuring as I was slightly apprehensive. The instruction was simple and easy to follow and Poppy was very attentive throughout the lesson giving plenty of advice and tips. I felt very safe and started to relax. I really enjoyed the whole experience as surprised myself by being able to stand up and paddleboard around the cove. So glad I did it.
We did the SUP taster session and loved it! Grant was a fantastic teacher, really calm and informative and we were soon standing up! (With the occasional fall into the water!) A great session and we will definitely be back to do more, really enjoyed it and would highly recommend.
