Questions about Camellia
Do I need sailing experience to hire Camellia?
Please talk to us about your sailing experience and crew before booking. If you are new to sailing or would like a refresher, we can discuss tuition options with you.

From our yard on the Upper Thurne you can sail to Hickling Broad, Horsey Mere and West Somerton without going through the bridge.

Can I bring my dog?
