Whether you are looking for a first afternoon under sail, a quiet anchorage for lunch, or a boat that can carry twelve for a birthday, every Windrose booking comes with a licensed skipper, safety gear and the weather call made for you.

We own the boats and maintain them in our own yard. The person who answers the phone is usually the one who will take your lines when you arrive at Dock C.

02 / HOW IT WORKS

Four steps, one of them yours

From enquiry to leaving the dock. Nothing is charged until we confirm the weather.

Step 01

Pick a date and a boat

Use the availability bar or call the office. Holding a slot takes about ninety seconds and costs nothing.

Step 02

Tell us who is coming

Numbers, ages, anyone who cannot swim, anything you would rather eat. We match a skipper to the group.

Step 03

We make the weather call

Twenty-four hours out we confirm, move you, or cancel. If we cancel, you are not charged.

Step 04

Arrive and step aboard

Dock C, fifteen minutes early. Safety brief, lines off, harbour wall behind you inside ten minutes.

What our customers say

Dana R.

Booked the sunset sail for our anniversary and expected a polished tourist thing. It was not that at all. Ines cut the engine past the wall and we sat in near silence for two hours.

Sunset sail · Marlowe

Owen K.

Four of us, none had sailed before. By the afternoon my brother was steering and I was on the winch and nobody had shouted. Everything explained twice without it feeling like a lesson.

Priya S.

They moved our overnight by a day because of a front coming through, called us themselves, and did not charge for the change. The bay they took us to instead had three boats in it.

Overnight · Northerly

Marcus F.

The skipper spotted a pod of dolphins on the way back and just quietly changed course. My daughter has not stopped talking about it since.

Island run · Northerly

Yuki T.

Booked at three days’ notice for eight people and it was still faultless. The cooler was packed before we got to the gate and nobody had to think about lunch.

Full day · Bellwether

Ana F.

I get seasick and said so. They put us on the flat-water route, kept the sail plan gentle and checked in twice. First time I have enjoyed a whole day on a boat.
