Brighton Watersports, working with Newhaven and Seaford Sailing Club, have created a brand-new exciting week of fun.

This will be a week of sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing and our fun giant jumbo sup. This will be a fun learning experience aimed at 10 yrs and over.

Parents do not need to be present for this activity, we have very strict child welfare policies and are inspected by both RYA and AALA.

The days will be divided into morning and afternoon activities - what we do will depend a little on the weather each day. But our aim is to teach the beginner and advanced sailing,  progression will depend on speed of learning.
