About Us
Sailing North East is a professionally run yacht sailing organisation and which specialises in taking people from all backgrounds and ages to sea, where they can experience the magic of sail. We operate a large ocean going yacht from Hartlepool Marina, and cruise extensively around the British Isles, across the North Sea and beyond.
Sailing North East originally founded in 1996, has become the premiere adventure sailing organisation on the north east coast. Over the years we have built up considerable experience in bringing the sport of offshore sailing to the general public.
Our main aim is to give people the opportunity to sail a big yacht offshore, be it for pure enjoyment, sail training or to aid in gaining recognised qualifications. Our client base includes major companies utilising our services for Corporate Hospitality and Staff incentives, schools and college students participating in the Tall Ships Race and individuals or groups looking to experience the thrills offshore sailing.
All our yacht is skippered by highly experienced commercial
yachtmaster, whose primary concern is your safety and enjoyment. Whilst sailing
with us you will have ample opportunity to be involved in the running of the
vessel. You will become crew not cargo! Be it hoisting sails, using GPS/VHF/MF
radios, devising complex passage plans and even preparing a meal for other crew
members in sometimes challenging conditions. You will gain an
understanding of satellite navigation systems, safety and collision regulations
and the weather first hand.
| The challenge is to do something different. Set the sails, switch off the engine, feel 17 tons of boat bite the wind, heel over and cut through the waves. No noise except wind, sail and water. Be part of a team to pilot your yacht to a pre-determined port or anchorage. An unforgettable test of human skill, judgement, teamwork and communication against the elements. |
