In terms of experience, no prior sailing experience is necessary to get started. Bourne to Sail offers experience sails to give you a taste of sailing and help you determine your desired sailing journey. The minimum age for most RYA courses varies, and more information can be found in the “what's on offer” section on the website. For sailing experiences, children as young as 8 can participate with a parent or guardian on board.
If inclement weather prevents your scheduled day or training course from proceeding, Bourne to Sail will contact you in advance to discuss alternative options. If a suitable alternative date cannot be found in the immediate future, you will receive a voucher that can be used up to a year later. In specific cases, a full refund may be provided, depending on the course or experience booked. All necessary items to bring for your booking will be outlined on the course or experience details, and you will also receive an email with this information.

If you require immediate assistance or wish to discuss your booking, feel free to call the provided phone number. However, please note that due to their frequent time at sea, it may be more efficient to email your inquiry. Bourne to Sail looks forward to welcoming you aboard soon!
