Bridge Sailing Reviews 

Second trip with Efficient and safe. Good yacht. First trip in May and decided to try again as enjoyable.

I had a great time crossing the English Channel with Bridge Sailing. I highly recommend it to anyone. Great way to get a few 60+ miles trips in your log book. Great boats, great people, great night sailing. I’ve been twice now! Enjoy!

Amazing experience onboard a modern, clean and safe yacht. Afanasy the Skipper was more than happy to share his vast sailing experience. Totally awesome day out on the water. I loved it so much, that I have done my RYA Level 1 and 2 Start Sailing and booked a Competent Crew practical course! Thank you, Bridge Sailing! ;)

It’s a third time we are using Bridge Sailing services. Great team, clear instructions and always happy to help with recommendations in the Portsmouth area. I think by now all my friends already heard from me about Bridge Sailing!

I've had 3 experiences so far with Bridge Sailing, every one of them great fun with a very safe and obviously experienced Captain Afanasy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to anyone they have always gone out of their way to accommodate me. Even when I have had to cancel and rebook Maria has always dealt with it in a way that makes you want to come back for more experiences with them. I also have found them to be the best value and very fairly priced too. Thanks again for some great experiences, Hope to be out with you all again soon.

Great weekend sail Gosport-Cherbourg! Well organised and thought through, warm welcome on board and we felt well looked after during the trip. We were able to ask questions and learn from the skipper and hosts about sailing rules and regulations plus execute immediately on board. Very clean boat and well equipped, I would recommend this experience to anyone looking to improve their sailing skills and spend time in good company!

Excellent trip, amazing experience and professional captain. Would recommend, great weekend getaway.

The mooring practice course was done wiht a very small group (4 of us) so we all got plenty of turns at the helm. The instructor was very clear with instructions and explanations and was very willing to adapt to communciating and working with a deaf person (me). I learnt loads and know I need lots more practice and will be booking with Bridge Sailing again.

I came for the sailing experience with bridge sailing in April this year and even though it was end of the storm we had an amazing sailing through English Channel . Afanasy is a very experienced skipper and made our sailing experience great and safe. I would definitely recommend if you would like to try sailing through the night.

Afanasy is a great captain, Chris the skipper also. Nice night sail to Cherbourg and back to Haslar Marina.

A days navigation practice which was delivered by Paul. Paul is an extremely knowledgeable and skilled sailor, who gets his message across using simple terms. As a refresher, all in all a very good day for those who sail infrequently.

Had a cracking day sail round the Isle of Wight with Afanasay. We assisted when we could and had a very enjoyable day with varying weather. It was a pleasure to watch such a skilled and professional skipper.

Amazing one day boat trip with Afanasiy!
Lovely, cosy boat Tango, extremely professional skipper.
Big Family Day out with two teens was interesting and packed with different activities.
Afanasiy is calm, friendly and pleasant person, he looked after us very well. Thank you, Bridge Sailing, for such a wonderful experience!

We were met by Afanasy at the boat. It was just my wife and I so we had the boat to ourselves. We sailed to Cowes and back. Afanasy was excellent, he was extremely patient with us, especially me at the helm (a couple of unplanned Gybes :-/) but we got to Cowes eventually in one piece. We even hoisted the Spinnaker! I learnt a lot of hands on skills and would definitely do it again.

Great day sailing around Isle of Wight. Weather was near perfect. We could only wish for better wind but under instructions of such a great skipper as Afanasy, we managed to have a great sail 🙂

What a great experience!
Our trip to France/Cherbourg during night time was amazing. I can't thank enough to Afanasy for sharing his experience and make us feel confident. We had a great time with lovely moments to be remembered.

This was a birthday surprise for my husband who is daydreaming about the sea while never been sailing before. We had a day sailing trip with a lunch stop on Isle of Wight, even managed to have a quick dip/swim. Weather was so hot but the breeze on the boat definitely helped! Both of us knew totally nothing about sailing but yet felt comfortable, our skipper Afanasii patiently and professionally explained us what is what and we have been involved in the process quite a bit! What a great experience, we managed to rest our mind and also learnt a lot. Also by luck the whole boat was just for us, but definitely will be bringing some friends next time to enjoy it all together! Thank you ever so much for our unforgettable day!

Brilliant Day Sailing!

Never sailed before. We all had a great day with Afanasy sharing his knowledge about the boat, monitors markers, buoys etc.
A wonderful day with much laughter. Join in handling the boat as much as you want to or sit back and relax enjoying the scenery and experience.
Depart Hasler Marina, sailed along the Solent to Cowes, for lunch and souvenir shopping. Then returned, only using the engine for manouvering to the moorings.

An excellent day, never forgotten!!
Thank you.

We are full of emotions after our sailing day with Bridge Sailing! Comfortable yacht with professional and friendly skipper who gave us detailed explanations and shared some interesting information throughout the ride. 5 out of 5!
