Cruises in UK and Mediterranean
Most people on our cruises have not met before, as a result, the atmosphere is friendly and there is a spirit of adventure amongst all aboard.
Gwennili Trust offers a range of cruises that last between 5 and 7 days.
All trips are led by experienced RYA qualified sailors to ensure the safety of clients at all times. Skippers are qualified to RYA Yachtmaster Offshore with Commercial Endorsement. Voyages normally consist of two crew (skipper and mate) and 4 or 5 beneficiaries.
The majority of voyages are based on the South Coast of England, but we also organise one trip to the Mediterranean each year.
If you are interested in joining one of these cruises, then please email cruises@gwennili.org.uk and one of our volunteers will be in touch to discuss your sailing needs.
