Sailing holidays the Trinity way.....
Our sailing holidays are a mixture of activity holiday afloat, exploration ashore and pure relaxation. We aim to arrive at a new harbour or anchorage each evening after the day's sailing. Whichever direction we head in there are many interesting places to visit. On all cruises our highly-trained, friendly and professional crew are on hand to ensure maximum enjoyment and comfort.
On many cruises fixed itineraries are avoided, allowing us the maximum freedom to go with the weather, not fight it, and yield to the mood of the moment --- whether to press on to a new destination that lies over the horizon, visit the bustling market at the latest port of call or just ramble ashore, swim and have a lunchtime barbecue on a quiet beach before getting under way for the day.
Wherever we go there are many interesting places to visit. We favour the quieter, secluded and picturesque anchorages and harbours.
We set sail with mixed parties on board: single people, couples, friends or families, who book by the berth. However, it is also possible for private parties to charter an entire vessel (see Charter).
On board all the boats there are no mechanical aids, and teamwork is the order of the day. Technique is more important than strength, so everyone can join in under the expert guidance of the crew. Alternatively, you can just tuck yourself up in a corner with a good book --- how much or how little you choose to do on your holiday is entirely up to you.
Our fleet consists of four gaff-rigged boats, all built between 1892 and 1924. They are the former Brixham sailing trawlers 'Leader' and 'Provident', the gaff cutter 'Golden Vanity' and the Boston smack 'Spirit of Britannia'.
Enjoy your sailing holidays onbard the...
Provident and Leader displace 85 tonnes and 110 tonnes respectively. Each carries up to twelve guests, plus crew.
Spirit of Britannia can accommodate ten guests.
Golden Vanity can accommodate six guests.
All meals are provided, and they are an important part of the experience. Leader and Provident each have full-time cooks, who prepare delicious dishes to the highest standards using the best of ingredients, obtained from local suppliers or markets en route. Dinner in particular is time to relax after the activities of the day, and enjoy the company of friends old and new.
The 'home' cruising area for the majority of holiday cruises includes the south coasts of Devon and Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly, Brittany, Normandy and the Channel Islands. We also offer cruises on the West Coast of Scotland, and sometimes other destinations in Scandinavia and the Biscay coasts of France and Spain.
Each year we normally take part in the Tall Ships Races offering an opportunity for adventure sailing and visit the best of maritime events. Whether you are looking for sailing holidays, sailing cruise, activity holiday, adventure holiday or a weekend break there is something in our programme to suit all tastes.
Safety is an important consideration, and the boats are equipped to MCA Code of Practice standards.
