Faire Sailing

Sailing Courses for Children and Adults

Faire sailing school is unique because we can sail at all states of the tide. We can sail for 4.5 hours on the tide itself and then the rest of the day in a tidal lagoon inside Scolt Head Island. Please note our low tide sailing is for under 18s only. We offer sailing courses for all ages starting at 7. Our standard courses are between 3 and 5 days long. However, we do tailor our courses to suit your availability and experience.

Start Sailing

We offer taster sessions on our Norfolk Oysters. These are stable and dry boats which provide a gentle introduction to sailing. During this time, we give you the opportunity to take the helm, learn the ropes and see if it’s something for you.

Harbour Familiarisation

Burnham Overy Staithe harbour can be a tricky place at the best of times. The sandbanks are constantly shifting making navigation tricky. Why not allow us to take you out for a familiarisation session. In this two hour trip we will show you the harbour, including the best places to anchor, engine tips and much more.

Own Boat Tuition

We offer own boat tuition along the North Norfolk coast. Our instructors are highly experienced sailors who can help show you the ropes on your own boat and help build your confidence. We can also do smaller tasks such as helping you rig.
