Scilly Isles and West Country Adventure Cruise in Gosport Marina

8-night intermediate offshore sailing holiday with Nomad Sailing

CruisingIntermediateUnited Kingdom - Europe5.0/5(131 reviewsTripadvisor)

Set sail on an unforgettable adventure from Gosport to the magical Isles of Scilly, following one of Britain’s most spectacular coastlines. Along the way, we’ll pass the dramatic cliffs and secluded bays of the Jurassic Coast before exploring the characterful harbours and beautiful sailing waters of the West Country. With exhilarating passages, breathtaking scenery and welcoming ports en route, this is far more than a voyage—it’s a true sailing adventure, culminating among the crystal-clear waters, white-sand beaches and unspoilt islands of the Scillies.

Up to 5 aboard

Scilly Isles and West Country Adventure Cruise Itinerary

Why We Love This Sailing Holiday

Sailing down the South West coast is always a great adventure. Join this well equipped yacht and explore some of the most beautiful bits of English coastline.

1

Departure from Gosport Marina

You will start at Gosport Marina which has almost immediate access into the Solent and is very easy to reach by road or public transport

2

Sailing from Gosport Marina to Weymouth

A good stop off either on the way to the Scilly Isles or the way back. A bustling town with many bars and restaurants. A fabulous beach which when visited this year (2006) still had a Punch & Judy show and donkeys to name but a few of the very English beach attractions.

3

Sailing from Weymouth to Salcombe or Dart

Both make for a great stopping point if required. The entrance to the river Dart is quite stunning and both are very picturesque towns to take a breather from a long passage.

4

Sailing from Salcombe or Dart to Falmouth

Again a great little town on the south coast, chance to take a rest if you make Falmouth in a oner from Gosport before you head round The Lizard to the Isles of Scilly.

5

Sailing from Falmouth to Scilly Isles

With good weather and favourable winds we should reach the Scilly Isles. This makes for some interesting navigation and some lovely islands to visit. The flora and fauna on the islands is fabulous due to the climate experienced. There are very few cars on Tresco and I noticed last time I was there the number plates were basically people's names. Definitely give the hand line a go if you like fish and are anchored off Tresco.
