The cottage homeowner, subject to his availability is always happy to take paying guests staying at the families holiday home for a days skippered sailing and picnic plus a sensible amount of wine or beer or both!! Max Carding keeps his classic Broads sailing yacht 'Jessica' moored at South Walsham (about 20 minutes drive from the cottage) and can accommodate up to four people.

Sailing aboard Max's beautifully restored yacht, even if you are not a sailor is the perfect way to enjoy and explore the enchanting beauty of The Broads. You will also see many examples of Norfolk's bird life and perhaps even the occasional Otter. If you sail why not take the helm (if you are brave enough) and experience the challenges and foibles of river sailing!?
