‘Try Out Day’ – Discover Sailing on the Estuary at Arnside

Discover sailing at our Try Out Sailing Day at Arnside and see the village from the water.

We will be taking people out across the estuary for sailing tasters at high tide from the slipway by the Albion. The event, which is free, is suitable for families, children and adults.

Please pick an arrival time slot and on the day we will aim to get you on the water as soon as we can. Exact timing will vary due to tides, weather and boat availability.

Our Clubhouse and bar in the Old Customs House overlooking the estuary will be open for refreshments and to give you and your family a chance to look inside.

Club Membership for 2025 is £80 individual, £90 family, £25 Low income/student under 24

Booking is open via Eola.

What to bring: Please wear clothing and footwear that you are happy to get wet. You might need to wade through the water when getting into boats. Footwear should stay on you feet. Crocs, flip-flops and sandals are unsuitable, old trainers are ideal.

If it is rainy or windy wear a waterproof or windproof jacket.

You might want to bring a change of clothing and a towel, in case you get wet although please be aware there are no changing facilities near the slipway.

We will provide buoyancy aids, although, if you have them, you can bring your own but we reserve the right to ask you to wear one of ours if we feel it is appropriate.

Itinerary: You will be sailing across the estuary and back in a boat with an experienced sailor or an instructor.
