Typical Cross Channel Week Adventure
Northern France and the Channel Island provide some of the most interesting and challenging sailing that you will find anywhere. The opportunity to cruise there with your own Skipper/Instructor to guide you, is not to be missed. These Adventure Cruises are suitable for anyone, whatever your experience, and are available as both a 5 day mid-week cruise and a full 7 day cruise.
Locations visited will vary, depending upon weather, tide and crew capability, experience and preferences. The cross channel cruise typically includes locations such as Cherbourg and St Malo in France and Alderney, Jersey and Guernsey in the Channel Islands.
