Questions about Twilight
Do I need sailing experience to hire Twilight?
No. Twilight is easily handled and suitable for both new and experienced sailors. If you are new to sailing or would like a refresher, we can also 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?
