Hoist the mainsail and let the wind lift your heart! You’ll be hard pressed to find a more life-enhancing experience than sailing on the River Bure, with the sound of water lapping on the hull of your classic yacht.

This is a ‘hands on’ activity, sailing a beautiful, wooden 100-year-old Norfolk Half Decker yacht through glorious Broadland scenery. Under the safe supervision of a friendly Instructor, you’ll learn the ropes before heading off through one of the UK’s most stunning waterscapes.

You’ll handle your own piece of Broadland history as you take the helm, to relish the thrill of speeding along in peace and quiet, feeling the pressures of life fall away.

A profound sense of wellbeing comes from a joyride powered only by the wind. A world away from summer crowds, you’ll experience the Norfolk Broads on luminous autumn days as the year glides into crisp November. Or come in early spring when the reeds and marshes wake into a new season, rich with wildlife.

You’ll set sail from Upton Dyke and head north onto the River Bure. Depending on wind and tide you may head north onto the River Thurne or continue west on the Bure towards St Benet’s Abbey before returning to base in Upton.

There’s capacity for 4 guests, so wrap up warm and savour hot drinks mid-sail as you share this very special experience with friends or family.
