Love the lakes and enjoy your sailing adventure

Learn to sail with our activity centres, our lakes provide the perfect opportunity for novice sailors to learn and progress their skills within a safe and fun environment. Our unique locations offer the ideal setting for sailors to master their skills, without contending with changes in tides. We offer sailors of all abilities to progress their skills in sailing through our courses and tuition. Our outdoor activity centres are recognised RYA (Royal Yachting Association) training centres, offering sailing courses from ages 6+.

Explore our threee inland water locations based in Cornwall, one in Devon and one in Somerset. All of our centres provide hire, this means you can get onto the water without owning a boat, alternatively for boat owners we offer storage and small launch fees.

Our activity centres offer friendly and formative sessions for all sailors to the lakes.
