Group Share Weekend Voyages for ages 10+

NEW FOR 2024. Do you want to bring your Scouts, Guides or youth group sailing, but find it difficult to get a group of eight together? Then how about booking one of our group share weekends? These voyages are suitable for groups of four young people accompanied by a leader. You will then share the boat with another group of four. All our voyages are inclusive of food, mooring fees and the use of lifejackets and waterproofs. The cost for a group of four plus leader is £770. Dates for 2024 are 26th - 28th April and 21st - 23rd June.

Friday Evening - Start your Adventure. Depart Ipswich Haven Marina and take a gentle cruise down the River Orwell to Buttermans Bay where you will anchor for the night. After hot chocolate, settle into your bunk for a peaceful nights sleep.

Saturday - Down to the sea. After a hearty breakfast, pull up the anchor, hoist the sails and sail out of the estuary to the sea. Pass through Felixstowe port and see the container ships. Weather and tides permitting you may cruise down the coast to the port of Brightlingsea or Bradwell to spend the night. Alternatively head out to sea and circumnavigate the Cork Sand and pass by Sealand and return to spend the night at Harwich. Everybody on board gets a go at steering, hoisting and trimming sails, cooking and washing up!

Sunday - The return. Set sail to explore the creeks and sites of the of the Orwell and Stour estuary before returning to Ipswich. You will be presented with a certificate to commemorate your voyage. We hope you enjoyed your voyage and would love to see you again.
