Menai Bridge (GB) - The Humber (GB)

13 September - 25 September 2026

Join an unforgettable hands-on sailing adventure aboard the Maybe, sailing from the Menai Strait to the River Humber via the world-famous Caledonian Canal. Whether you’re completely new to sailing or already have experience, you’ll learn by doing – taking the helm, setting and trimming sails, standing watch, navigating and working alongside our professional crew as you embrace life aboard a traditional tall ship. Leaving the Menai Strait behind, you’ll head north into ever-changing waters, combining offshore passages with coastal sailing before making your way through the spectacular Caledonian Canal. Cutting through the heart of the Scottish Highlands, this is one of the world’s greatest inland cruising routes. You’ll experience its impressive locks, dramatic mountain scenery and, of course, keep a lookout as we pass through the legendary Loch Ness – perhaps you’ll even spot its famous resident! You’ll leave with new skills, lasting friendships and memories of an extraordinary voyage through some of the most spectacular waters in the British Isles.

    We are all adventurers... each of us in our own way. For some... it's facing the sea-sickness of rolling swells and books that move across the table on their own. Or climbing the mast all the way to the top, …
