Getting out on the water can be very exciting and full of adventures.

FlexiSail members have given us their top spots to go sailing, or power boating, which we have listed below. FlexiSail staff are very experienced and can offer great advice on places to go in and around our locations of Hamble, Lymington and Poole.

All FlexiSail members are able to cruise wherever they wish, as long as they stay within the limits of the boats cruising range. For most of our boats, that is anywhere in the UK and Europe as long as you are less than 60NM from a safe haven.
