Check trip information and booking options from Excelsior Trust to plan travel and participation.
Check tidal times before you travel
Departure and anchorages depend on tides—confirm tide windows and plan arrival accordingly.
Pack layers and waterproofs
Wind and spray make layered, waterproof clothing essential even on mild days.
Bring seasickness prevention
If prone to motion sickness, take medication or use acupressure bands before departure.
Keep noise low at anchor
Wildlife feeds and rests in nearby marshes; low noise preserves sightings and the experience for others.
Waterproof jacket and trousers
Protects from wind and spray and keeps you comfortable during watches.
Non-slip deck shoes
Clean, grippy shoes are safer on wet decks and easier to move in while sailing.
Dry bag (20–30L)
Keeps clothing and electronics dry in damp conditions and when moving between shore and boat.
Headlamp with spare batteries
Hands-free light for night watches, moving below deck, and early-morning landings.
