TRADITIONAL CHARTER incorporating GAFF RIG PUBLICATIONS


Sailing holidays & day trips onboard Black Rose.

Charter this superb classic sailing yacht for bespoke
sailing holidays around the east and south coasts of the UK.

Cruises have no real fixed itinerary, thus allowing us the freedom to go with the weather and the mood of the moment. This gives us the option to set off to a bustling port such as Harwich or Ipswich, quaint fishing villages like Brightlingsea or West Mersea, or just to ramble ashore, to swim or sit on a quiet beach before getting underway.

The emphasis on board is upon sailing adventure and fun accompanied by well performed seamanship. Guests should be of a congenial and convivial nature .

The ship's routine at sea can include all things artistic & musical, enjoying 'Pimms at 4 o'clock' and sundowners - whilst in port, open house and parties will be the order of the day, along with quiet, peaceful moments at secluded anchorages.

Discover the beautiful east coast rivers:
the Blackwater, Colne, Crouch, Deben, Stour, and the Orwell

Please Call 07811 469505 to book your skippered sailing holiday or day trip...
