Questions about Zoe
Do I need sailing experience to hire Zoe?
Yes. Zoe is suitable for intermediate sailors only and is not suitable for inexperienced sailors. If you would like to build your skills first, ask us about sailing tuition.

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?
