Day sails and short trips from Ipswich in May and June

Excelsior is a training vessel, and everyone is encouraged to take part as much as possible in the sailing and running of her. On overnight trips. this includes assisting below decks with meal prep and taking part in the watch system. Each of the 3 4-hour watches is overseen by a member of the professional crew. A full safety briefing is given at the beginning of the trip with additional training for specific tasks given when required. All meals and refreshments are provided. For day sails, this is lunch and refreshments.

Leaving from Ipswich Beacon Marina at approximately 10am, take a leisurely sail down the Orwell and out into the North Sea where, depending on the wind direction, you’ll take some time to sail along the coast before returning to Ipswich for approximately 4pm.

We have life jackets and wet weather gear for everyone on board. Due to a limited number of small life jackets, we are unable to take children younger than 10 years of age.
