Yesterday was about determination, teamwork and supporting an incredible cause. 💙
We were proud to provide safety boat support for Aspire , the spinal cord injury charity, during a swim from Sealand to Felixstowe.
After entering the water at Sealand, Kristen spent over five hours swimming across one of the UK's busiest stretches of water. Throughout the challenge, our instructor Roger remained alongside, carefully navigating the busy shipping channel and ensuring Kristen's safety every step of the way.
A huge congratulations to Kristen on an outstanding achievement, and thank you to Aspire for the incredible work they do supporting people with spinal cord injuries.
We're honoured to play a small part in helping these inspiring challenges happen, and we're already looking forward to supporting the next swimmer, who takes on the challenge in just two weeks' time.
If you'd like to support Aspire and the amazing work they do, please consider donating or finding out more about their charity.

🌊 Thank you to the East Anglian Sea School for giving our Lower Sixth students, Harry and Oscar, an unforgettable Field Day experience last Monday.
Guided by Mark, the boys took to the River Orwell and sailed out to sea in challenging 22-knot winds, learning how to raise the mainsail and steer a 36-foot yacht.
Harry and Oscar were a real credit to the school, embracing every challenge with enthusiasm, resilience and a willingness to learn.
It was an outstanding experience that they'll remember for years to come ⛵
Thank you to everyone at the East Anglian Sea School for making the day so memorable!

A brilliant CPD day for our team of instructors⚓️
We spent the day sharing ideas, developing our teaching, and swapping simple tips to help our customers pass their exams with confidence. We also squeezed in a bit of team building and had a good catch-up!
It’s always good to get everyone together, learn from each other, and keep improving what we do🙌🏼
A fantastic start to today’s corporate sailing experience! ⛵
Our guests kicked off the day aboard Cirrus 2 and Strata 5 with tea, coffee and pastries before settling in for a safety briefing.
With a brisk breeze on the River Orwell, conditions were perfect for a day of hands-on sailing, plenty of friendly competition between the yachts, and (hopefully!) some bragging rights. Next stop is lunch at The Pier in Harwich before an afternoon sail back to Levington.
Our corporate sailing days are designed to get teams away from the workplace and out on the water. Whether you’re looking to reward your staff, entertain clients or simply enjoy a memorable day together, every event is tailored to suit your group.
No sailing experience? No problem. Our experienced instructors are on hand throughout the day, making sure everyone can get involved and enjoy the experience.
If you’re looking for something a little different for your next company event, we’d love to hear from you.

What a fantastic two days at the Suffolk Show, a week ago today we headed off to our local County Show ☀️⛵️
We had an amazing time meeting so many people, chatting all things sailing and introducing visitors to life on the water.
Our stand was packed with activities, from learning the basics of sailing in a dinghy on dry land, to making origami boats from out of date nautical charts and racing radio-controlled boats in the paddling pool. It was brilliant to see so many people getting involved and having a go.
A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, ask questions or share their stories with us. We loved meeting you all and look forward to welcoming many of you onto the water soon.
And finally, a special shout out to our incredible team back at the office. While we were at the show, they kept everything running smoothly, courses continued as normal, enquiries were answered, and our customers were looked after as always. We couldn't have done it without you. 💙
Luke is out on the water with two students today for a Competent Crew Course, making the most of some fantastic sailing conditions☀️
Over the next few days they’ll be developing their skills, building confidence and enjoying plenty of time on the water⛵️
Have fun everyone!👋🏼
