Why not take your Group for an exciting and fun day on the water?
We can take you sailing in our Hawk 20 fleet or for a fast trip around Plymouth Sound in our big power boat.
We are rather proud of ‘Friendship of Plymouth’. She is a purpose-built workboat, specially fitted out to carry disabled or able people in safety, comfort and style.
She has twin diesel engines and full electronic navigation with GPS chart plotter. She is MCA-certified to commercial standard and has a full set of safety equipment including liferafts, radios, distress flares and first aid kit.
She has wheelchair clamps and an easy access ramp for wheelchairs. With all-round guardrails she is a safe platform for anyone to go to sea.

The Hawk 20 is the largest boat in our fleet and children will normally first go sailing in a Hawk 20 as part of a group with experienced Horizons staff onboard. These boats can sail quite fast in the right conditions, but are also very safe.
They have a mainsail and jib as well as a spinnaker – so there’s lots of ropes to pull! Because they are such well-behaved boats, even complete beginners can ‘take the helm’ on their first trip.
Horizons has a fleet of 3 Hawks: ‘Miss Muffet’, ‘Papagena’ and ‘Fluency’. We can sail these boats with 4 children on board, accompanied by a Horizons Skipper and Mate.
