Sessions are £8 per participant (minimum suggested donation) carers go free. Family members and friends are able to join in, however priority must be given to those with a disability – donation for their attendance is welcomed! We offer Sailing, Powerboat River Trips and Paddling.
Sailability
Those who want to sail but are nervous of sailing on their own, we can offer support and will endeavour to provide an instructor or experienced sailor to accompany them. We use the access dinghies (see left) for independent sailing and have dinghies which have the option to be fitted with electric hand controls for those who have little strength or mobility in their upper limbs.

If you want to sail as part of a group we also have the ‘Devon Day’ (see lower right), which is our traditional wooden sailing boat.

Our accessible powerboats will be used to take people on trips around the harbour. Our powerboats are wheelchair accessible so there is no necessity to transfer from your wheelchair. There are three trips per session – boats leave promptly on the hour 10am, 11am, 12 noon. All trips last approximately 45 minutes. Please ensure you arrive 15 minutes before the boat trip as the boat cannot wait.

Paddling will be on offer every week on Saturdays. We have sit-in-kayaks with stabilisers, sit-on-top kayaks, Canadian Canoes, Katakanu and Bellboat on offer. Session starts at 10.15am but if you are new, you’ll be invited to come down at 9.45am, so that we can assess which craft is best for you.

Our paddleability sessions are currently funded by the British Canoeing Together Stronger Fund which has enabled us to deliver weekly sessions with a range of accessibility equipment.
Tuesday Sailability
Cost: £8 donation (carer goes free)
These sessions are on Tuesday mornings and are for powerboat trip and/or bespoke powerboat lessons for young people with disabilities. These sessions are more suitable to young participants who are on the autistic spectrum or have learning difficulties, as it is a quieter environment with a higher ratio of staff support, compared to Saturdays.
