Safety & Compliance: Your sailing experience is conducted on a professionally maintained yacht equipped with the required safety equipment, including lifejackets for all guests. The vessel operates in accordance with applicable UK maritime regulations and carries appropriate insurance for passenger activities.

My Story
I’ve sailed since I was a kid, and the sea has always felt like home. Over the years I’ve skippered countless trips along the Sussex coast, learning every tide, landmark, and hidden stretch of water.
Sussex Yacht Experiences was created from a lifelong love of sailing and the Sussex coastline. After years on the water, I wanted to offer something personal and unforgettable, a chance for anybody to slow down, breathe, and see our coast the best way possible – with a glass of Prosecco in your hand. If you think sailing isn’t for you, think again.
We’re the only sailing business on the South Coast that isn’t trying to teach you anything, just sit back and relax while we give you an unforgettable experience.
