International Pirate Day
18th September 2016
£5
Ever fancied giving sailing a go, whilst saying ‘aaaarrrrr’ a lot?
Join us to celebrate International Pirate Day on Sunday 18th September!
We are running an open day offering discounted sailing taster experiences aboard our awesome Traditional ‘Pirate’ Sailing Boats – each one flying the Jolly Roger of course – to give you an idea of what sailing is about and just how easy it is to get involved.
Accompanying you will be an experienced and RYA qualified sailing instructor/Pirate Captain who will show you the ropes and ensure that you return to shore safe and wanting (we hope) more.
Sessions last one hour and cost only £5 per pirate. We will also be offering Discount Vouchers towards our RYA sailing courses to all pirates that enjoyed their experience and wish to take sailing further.
