Classic Sailing

Classic Sailing is run by Professional Sailors to give you the best advice. Our current office in St Mawes is tiny but outside is a perfect bit of rural Cornwall. When the SE gales blow you can hear the surf on the Roseland coastline and taste the salt in the air. Within two hundred yards we have views of the English Channel to the South East and Falmouth Harbour to the west. We are spoilt for choice with footpaths for exercise and dog walking. Classic Sailing was founded in 1996 by Adam and Debbie Purser with the launch of a newly built pilot cutter 'Eve of St Mawes'. Our company ethos was developed initially through the themed holidays we created for 'Eve' in Cornwall. Since then we have extended the concept of 'hands on' adventures to a wide range of traditional craft and tall ships around the world. The fleet we offer today share the Classic Sailing ethos but each vessel has its own distinctive style of adventure sailing. Each skipper is your expert local guide on the history of his or her vessel, the wildlife you see, and the culture of the communities you meet.
