The early bird catches the discount
Ever eager to tempt you out at the beginning of the season, boats occasionally discount or offer affordable tasters at the start of the season. Easter can be gorgeous or you could have snow on deck, but the vessels look amazing after a winter refit and skippers cant wait to get out of the boatyard to empty anchorages.
Tallulah in Cornwall loves a themed voyage as the weather warms up. Yoga, beach cleans, and lots of rowing ashore in her 15ft wooden dinghy.

Training, RYA Courses and Intensive Sail Handling
Early season, the trick is to stay active, do lots of short hops with intensive learning experiences, and have a cosy cabin to de brief an exercise or learn a bit of relevant theory. Tallulah is our RYA teaching boat based in Cornwall, starting the season early and offering some winter workshops and RYA courses afloat. She has a stove heater and radiators

Scotland – Early Season
Provident is based in Scotland so she is the first off the blocks for sailing in the Hebrides. She has heating below decks and a sheltered doghouse at deck level with windows if you need a warm up.

The ocean going sailing ships that often sail all year round like Tecla and Oosterschelde will likely be swapping hemispheres around about April time to stay forever in summer.
Staging posts like the Azores, St Helena are often explored as vessels head back to a European summer.
