Tall Ship Sailing Holidays

Find Your Next Adventure

2023 Tall Ship Sailing Holidays

All our 2023 sailing holidays are UK based. You can dip a toe in the water on a sailing weekend on the East Coast, head north with us for sailing in Shetland And Orkney join us in the Thames Estuary and sail to London or join us on an offshore voyage and head out to sea on a passage.

Set Sail Onboard A Schooner

A tall ship sailing holiday experience for those who love adventure. Set sail and leave normal life on land behind for a short while. Feel the sun on your face and the wind in your hair.

Onboard you’ll enjoy good food, wide horizons, sunsets over quiet anchorages, learn some new sailing skills and have the satisfaction of being part of the ship’s crew.

Our schooner Trinovante has a reputation for a relaxed and friendly atmosphere onboard where the small crew numbers mean everyone gets to play a full role in sailing the ship. You will get to helm the ship too.

Most people come on our tall ship sailing holidays on their own and beginners are welcome. We take our Sail Training seriously and will teach you everything you need to know to be part of the crew.

Sailing is a fantastic way to travel, get right off the beaten track, unwind, explore and meet people. Arriving on a charismatic schooner means you are immediately part of the scene wherever you go.

Each year Trinovante sets sail on a different and unique voyage.  Some years our ship sails in the Tall Ships Races. Past tall ship sailing holiday voyage maps give an idea of where we sail.

  • Big enough to give you the experience of a small ship.

    Small enough to go to places bigger tall ships can only dream of.

  • Permanent skipper and mate

    You can be sure you are in experienced hands.

    Full involvement as an integral part of the crew from the moment you step onboard.

Let me thank you again for the perfect weekend!
It was fantastic but, unfortunately too short.
All the people I met, the sailing, eating, an excellent mix of activity, training and relaxation, having tea all the time….and some beers in the evening.

This is the way I enjoy sailing.

GeroldSailed On A UK Taster Weekend https://www.schoonersail.com/tall-ship-sailing-holidays/uk-sailing-weekends/–UK Sailing Weekends

Thanks for a fantastic week Bergen – Trondheim.
It is the skill of a successful host to take a gang of disparate (desperate?) folk and turn them into a group of friends – Well done!

We are thoroughly bitten by the bug and would like to have another go next year

Chris and AlastairSailed In Norwayhttps://www.schoonersail.com/destinations/sailing-norway/–Norway Sailing Holidays

When we weren’t zooming along at 8 knots there was plenty to keep us occupied, two sightings of dolphin, beautiful, clear starry night skies, perfect for shooting star viewing.

And my favourite thing; phosphorescence, and dancing on it when it was washed up on deck to make it sparkle.
