Moonfleet Adventure Sail Training LLP is a sail training operator based in Portland, England.
The company runs tall-ship sailing experiences across Weymouth Bay and the Jurassic Coast, offering short, guided sails and longer coastal trips. Designed for all levels, trips include a 1-hour Sunset Sail Around Portland Harbour, 2-hour tours around Portland Sea Forts, Nothe Fort and Weymouth Bay, 3-hour sails to Portland Harbour and Ringstead Bay, 4-hour and 5-hour sail-and-picnic trips to Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, and 6-hour voyages that anchor in Mupe or Worbarrow Bay. Guests can choose hands-on participation—learning sail handling and hoisting—or relax and observe the coastline. No prior sailing experience is required.
Safety briefings and experienced crew guide each outing, and vessels operate from Portland, providing direct access to key Dorset landmarks. Activities combine scenic coastal cruising with opportunities for on-deck learning and shore-side picnics at protected anchorages. The itineraries highlight natural features such as Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, Ringstead Bay, and the Portland Sea Forts.
Booking information, meeting points, and availability are published by Moonfleet Adventure Sail Training LLP; guests are advised to review trip descriptions and prepare appropriate clothing for changing coastal weather. The company's focus on accessible tall-ship experiences makes it suitable for families, small groups, and individuals seeking coastal sailing, nature viewing, and hands-on introduction to traditional sailing techniques.
