Pembrokeshire is the ideal place to get right away from it all for a Bank Holiday weekend, with its beautiful coastline estuaries and Islands, Wildlife everywhere and sheltered waters to sail if the wind starts to blow.

Pembrokeshire is often described as Cornwall without the crowds, And you can see why, with its stunning coastline, beaches, Islands, inlets and rivers to explore.

Because of its unique location wildlife is everywhere; Dolphins, Seals, Basking sharks and even whales can be seen from the deck of “Edith Gray”; and the bird life especially on the Islands like Skomer and Skokholm are legendary.

 

Joining the Vessel Friday night or Sat morning at milford Haven marina we will head out into the Haven and the miles of sheltered water to get to grips with traditional Gaff rig Sailing.

We can explore the estuary or head out to the Islands with the possibility of spending the night at anchor at Skomer and be right in the middle of one of the natural wonders of the British Isles when the sea birds fly home at dusk.

 

 

 

What you can expect from the trip:

Boat handling: You will learn to get the most out of a traditional Vessel with Gaff Cutter Rig, in the sheltered waters of the Haven or out into the Bristol Channel or Celtic Sea.

Anchorages: We aim to spend as many nights on anchor as possible. Somewhere special and away from the crowds.

The Great Outdoors: Whether its sailing, walking, swimming, climbing or just relaxing and watching the wildlife, it's great to have some time in the fresh salt air.

 

As always the trip itinerary will be driven by the weather, but with such a wealth of options within the Estuary and immediate coastline you are sure to have a rich and full experience.
