Splashu - Setanta Sessions

🌊 Setanta Yachting Adventures – Book Your Voyage!

Step aboard Setanta, the West Lancs County yacht, and give your Scouts an unforgettable day on the water. This is real adventure: wind, waves, teamwork, and the thrill of handling a sea‑going vessel under the guidance of a qualified skipper.

⭐ What They’ll Learn

Your young people will build:

• Navigation skills – plotting courses, reading charts, understanding tides
• Seamanship – hoisting sails, trimming lines, helming, anchoring
• Teamwork & communication – working as a tight crew in a real marine environment
• Confidence & resilience – taking on challenges at sea
• Practical onboard skills – cooking below deck, keeping watch, and living afloat

Whether they’re total beginners or working toward RYA Start Yachting or Competent Crew, every session is tailored to their level.

A typical session may include:

• Meeting the skipper at Ferry Nab for a safety briefing
• Casting off and learning the basics of sailing
