Sailing on the Derwent - Amazing few hours. Baz and his crew were such good company. Home made scones plus cheese platters were extra special. Baz gave us a turn at steering with great instruction about ‘reading’ the water. We had a wonderful time, thoroughly recommended.

A lovely afternoon on the Derwent! - Although there was little wind on the day, the crew made the most of our 3 hours. Beautiful scones, great wine and cheese, penguin sightings, and fun helping with the sails…..
