Experience Overview:
Six Hour Portland Harbour Tall Ship Sail
Anchor in Mupe or Worbarrow Bay for a picnic aboard. See Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door along the way!
Come enjoy a 6 hours sail and anchor in Mupe or Worbarrow Bay for a picnic aboard. See Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door along the way!
The bays expose a sequence of Cretaceous rocks from the Bindon Hill Chalk in the north through the Wealden Beds to the Purbeck Beds in the south at Mupe Rocks. Another beautiful spot to sail to and drop anchor for lunch on our 6 hour trip.
The sailing introduction is all based around a ‘toe in the water’ experience, where you can have a go at the skills and activities needed to take a tall-ship to sea and learn how to harness the power of the wind. For those keen to have a go, our crew will provide a supervised hands on opportunity to try most activities that can be fitted into the short voyage, from weighing anchor to hoisting the mainsail - and even taking the helm! However, if you just want to come along for the ride, then be our guest – sit back and enjoy the sail and the views!

Enjoying sailing out to Durdle Door and back, partly under sail and partly under motor due to wind conditions. Informative colleagues Jez and Steve running the voyage and letting us try hoisting sail and steering. Beautiful views and the unexpected arrival of the ice cream boat. A couple of us swam round the boat near Ringstead Bay. Safely managed throughout. I learnt a lot about ships and would love to do it again. Can thoroughly recommend.
