When an overnight stay is not an option and you and your guests want the full enjoyment of sailing but with the minimum demands on your time, a day sail itinerary is the option for you.

A day sail involves an action packed day on the water, with full catering and event management. Britannia organises everything for you, leaving you free to relax with your guests and enjoy the experience.

Britannia can work with you to select the correct yachts for your groups' ability and requirements. For those with a competitive streak, we would recommend matched Beneteau 40.7 race yachts. For crews of novices, or those looking purely for a relaxed day of cruising, then Bavaria yachts may be more suitable.
