From Falmouth in beautiful Cornwall, we sail past estuaries with medieval harbours to Torquay (this is where the hotel from the ‘Fawltey Towers’ series with John Cleese was located). The water here is a beautiful pale green and the coast is stunning. The wooded estuaries with also very pretty buildings are a pleasure to sail in.
The programme includes picturesque Fowey, Salcombe and Dartmouth, where there is also plenty of time to stroll around. The harbours are very charming with a cosy British atmosphere. Plymouth is a large port with several cosy pubs near the harbour, great for a night out with usually live music too.
In short, a relaxing sailing holiday in a beautiful cruising area that is very different from our other cruising areas. Thanks to the many bakeries that still exist here, we also enjoy fresh bread and croissants from the baker every morning and, of course, delicious fresh scones with our coffee!
Day distances are between 12 and 22 miles this sailing holiday.
Category C/F: Shorter day distances and plenty of time for sightseeing. Sailing holidays with small children on board too.
