"Thank you so much to Bessie Ellen and her owner, captain and crew. It was a long held dream of mine and my dream ca...


Our unique 3 activity voyages combine walking, rowing and sailing. They are designed with novices and newcomers to sailing in mind and appeal to those who particularly like a holiday with plenty of fresh air, healthy exercise and great food. There is no need to be able to row, though we will encourage you to have a go, there is no need to know how to sail as we know how to make you an effective crew member in no time at all.
Great Combonation
By combining half day sailing with a chance to stretch your legs ashore adter a row ashore. You can experience the best of all worlds, whilst working up a great appetite. In terms of the sailing there is no experience needed and the skipper will break you into a whole new language of sailing terms and show you what ropes you need to pull and why !
Three simple activities
It is however a hands-on activity holiday with the skipper being the only staff on board - so the guest crew will fully involved in handling the sails, steering and keeping a lookout, rowing ashore and assisting in the navigating if they want - but we won’t drop you in the deep end without help !
We won’t be yomping like he marines for miles so don't worry too much about how far you can walk.
We do welcome all ages, but you will need to be reasonable agile e.g. able to get down a short ladder from Eve into a dinghy.
Your holiday base goes with you.
The emphasis is on a holiday afloat, with plenty of activity involved in sailing the boat, combined with the chance to explore ashore along Cornwall or Devon’s rugged and varied coastline.
You live onboard Eve - the wind dictates whether we sail East or West, but where ever we go the magnificent SW coast path allows us access to coastal woodlands, wild headlands and historic fishing harbours.
Local Knowledge
Eve’s skipper know many wildlife haunts, caves and coves, pubs worth walking inland for and spectacular viewpoints. Adam or Debbie love walking and will join you where possible or help you explore for yourselves.
These voyages also typically seek out more unspoilt anchorages where Eve might be the only boat and provide a chance to get away from hectic 21st century life and be more in tune with your surroundings, the natural elements, wildlife and the beautiful coastal landscape of South Cornwall. We have maps and guidebooks on board.
