Sail to Salcombe

Embark on an exciting sailing adventure with Devon Sailing Experiences! The club is hosting a fantastic event that will take you on a journey to the beautiful coastal town of Salcombe. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or new to the sport, this is an experience you won't want to miss.

The adventure begins the evening before we set sail, as participants check into their own double cabin. If you prefer, you can also arrive in the morning of the departure day. Once everyone is settled, we will introduce you to the yacht and go over all the necessary safety aspects.

Setting off from Plymouth, we'll spend approximately 5 hours sailing along the stunning South West coastline. This will give you plenty of time to not only admire the beauty of the area but also to participate in sail trimming and helming, if you so desire. It's a great opportunity to learn and improve your sailing skills while surrounded by breathtaking views.

When we arrive in Salcombe, get ready for a delightful evening ashore. There are several wonderful pubs to choose from, each offering its own unique charm and delicious food. The Victoria Inn, with its traditional ambiance, The Ferry Inn, with its picturesque views of the estuary, and The Fortescue Inn, tucked away from the winds at the southern end of the estuary, are all excellent options. For those seeking a high-quality dining experience, Dick and Wills is the perfect choice, serving dishes made with locally-sourced ingredients and providing exceptional service.

The next morning, take some time to explore the quaint streets of Salcombe and browse through the small independent shops. You'll find a variety of options, including some well-known high-street names, catering to all tastes. If you're up for more adventure, hop on a water taxi to visit the beautiful beaches and coves of East Portlemouth or South Sands.

At the end of the trip, we'll make sure you're back at your starting location by 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, allowing you ample time to travel home. And if weekdays work better for you, we also offer overnight trips with the same format during the week.

Don't miss out on this incredible sailing experience with Devon Sailing Experiences! Whether you're a sailing enthusiast or simply looking for a unique weekend getaway, this event promises adventure, natural beauty, and an unforgettable time on the water. Join us for a memorable journey to Salcombe and make memories that will last a lifetime.
