Moonfleet Adventure Sailing is an exciting new activity making its home in Dorset and operating from Portland Harbour. Moonfleet, founded in 2015, have made it their mission to bring a tallship sailing opportunity to Dorset that isn't exclusive by availability or cost.
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!
Passengers may bring their own snacks and beverages along.
Sunscreen and sun hats are reccomended.

Moonfleet Adventure Sail Training
The Moonfleet sails daily from Portland Marina in Dorset, out into Weymouth Bay and to remarkable destinations along Dorset's beautiful coastline! Treat yourself to a day at sea sailing our classic Tallship, Moonfleet! The Moonfleet is a steel hulled Gaff Cutter, a 1930s tall ship robustly built by the great seafaring people of Holland. During her early working life she would take cargo from Amsterdam to her neighbouring countries on The North Sea - possibly even Great Britain! After her time carrying cargo, around the turn of the century she was given a major refit in Urk, a small fishing and shipbuilding town on Holland’s inland waterways. Here she was converted to be a Sail Training Vessel and operated as such from Amsterdam for the next decade. Following a minor refit at Mashford’s Shipyard on the River Tamar in Cornwall, Moonfleet is now based in Portland Harbour and is again used to introduce this classic skill to budding sailors of all ages.
