Life is all about experiences that create memories that last a lifetime. Join us for a hands on sailing holiday on our beautiful 50ft Bowman Cutter, Yemaya of Helford and really experience the feeling of "getting away from it all".  

Blend some of the most exquisite cruising grounds with bountiful wildlife and fabulous scenery, incredible food, shoreside expeditions and great company for a truly memorable adventure. 

Sailing Adventures - No Experience Required

We specialise in hands on sailing holidays that merge traditional techniques with a modern twist. You can relax and enjoy the grace, seaworthiness and character that makes Yemaya of Helford unique. 

Whether you are a novice or grizzled sea dog our voyages are suitable for all. 

With no experience necessary, come and experience sailing at its best. We welcome solo adventurers, couples, or groups of friends or family of all ages. Yemaya is also available for whole boat charter, perfect for a group of up to 8, for a special occasion or great adventure holiday.

Although our skippered sailing holidays have a professional crew, we encourage everyone to join in as this is a truly hands on sailing adventure.   There are many chances to learn the ropes, steer, hoist sails and enjoy life onboard this beautiful bermudan cutter. Getting involved in all aspects of running the boat is good fun, a great adventure and a rewarding teamwork experience.

Of course there is always time to sit back, relax and enjoy the surroundings and the friendly social atmosphere. However much you wish to do is up to you.

Never sailed before? That’s not a problem, many people haven’t and you’ll receive full sail training and guidance on board from our professional and friendly crew. Cyprian is a qualified sailing instructor who has introduced many people to the joys of sailing as well as life on boats and is happy to share his knowledge.  Yemaya is very stable with plenty of space, making her an ideal learning platform.

We aim to provide an enjoyable, relaxing and social atmosphere onboard combined with a great sailing adventure and a chance to explore new remote locations. After a great sail, why not step ashore or enjoy a great book and glass of wine as the sun sets over the horizon.

No two voyages are the same as we explore new locations with each voyage. Whatever the weather, rain or shine rest assured we aim to make the most of the beautiful hidden gems around our coasts.
