This May half term sail on board historic sailing ship Excelsior for your Gold DofE Residential. We’ll meet in Lowestoft, then plan a short 5-day expedition according to the forecasted weather. With two 24-hour North Sea crossings, we aim to adventure across to Europe, visiting the Netherlands, Belgium, or even France. Everyone is fully involved in the crewing of the ship, taking part in night sailing, sail handling, navigation and look out. You’ll also tackle challenges like cooking for your crewmates and helming the way the fishermen of the 1920s did.

No sailing experience necessary and no expensive kit to buy. Fully catered. An incredible experience of living at sea!
