A fantastic day aboard Beaufort Venture with the crew from

It was a great introduction to yachting, providing an opportunity to learn new skills and gain confidence onboard a larger vessel. The crew enjoyed exploring Dublin Bay while developing their understanding of sailing in some excellent conditions.

With clear skies and a great breeze, it was the perfect day to explore everything Dublin Bay has to offer.

We look forward to welcoming the crew back on board again soon.
