Family Sailing in Devon

Take your family boating in Devon for the perfect holiday treat! Sailing in our sparkling waters is marvellous fun for all the family, whether you are dashing around in a dinghy for a day or indulging in a yachting trip - a weekend at sea makes a great introduction.

Whatever your family's ages and ability, Devon will give you the sailing experience of a lifetime. Not sure if the kids will enjoy it? Try one of the brief taster sessions run by many of our dinghy sailing centres. Once hooked, choose one of the officially approved training centres, where experienced and qualified instructors will enjoy showing you the ropes.

Carefully designed courses take learners through the basics -- just wait to see the joy on the kids' faces as they learn how to tack and fly before the wind. And there are plenty of courses for the more advanced to polish up their skills.

Prefer to do your own thing and take the family off on your own? You'll find several centres in Devon where experienced sailors can hire a boat.

Devon offers you, too, a wonderful choice of places to go. Younger families might prefer the safety of our lakes for their first venture onto the water, whereas older kids can opt for the thrill of tossing about on the open seas.
