About
Come enjoy a 1-hour sunset sail around the Portland Harbour.
Moonfleet Adventure Sailing is an exciting new activity making its home in Dorset and operating from Portland Harbour. Moonfleet, founded in 2015, have made it their mission to bring a tall-ship sailing opportunity to Dorset that isn't exclusive by availability or cost.
Moonfleet aim to provide an affordable range of sailing introductions that are available throughout an extended season (Mar - Nov), whenever the weather allows, and therefore provide a tall-ship sailing experience at a time and price that suits you! No previous sailing experience is necessary and no special clothing or equipment is required - just dress sensibly for the weather!
The sailing introduction is all based around a ‘toe in the water’ experience, where you can have a go at the skills and activities needed to take a tall-ship to sea and learn how to harness the power of the wind. For those keen to have a go, our crew will provide a supervised hands-on opportunity to try most activities that can be fitted into the short voyage, from weighing anchor to hoisting the mainsail - and even taking the helm! However, if you just want to come along for the ride, then be our guest – sit back and enjoy the sail and the views!

Wear Non-Slip Footwear
The boat deck can be slippery, so choose shoes with good grip for safety.
