At FlexiSail we want you to get the most out your membership with us and enjoy every moment of your sailing experience. We believe that this experience is not just the time spent out on the water sailing, but extends to time spent in port, whether this is your ‘home’ port or one which you visit on your travels.
With this in mind we have approached our favourite restaurants, shops, pubs and boat havens to take part in our Loyalty Card Programme to offer our members great value, whichever way the wind and tide has taken them. These genuine offers and discounts from our Loyalty Partners are not available to the general public.

The Folly Inn is a well known waterside pub on the Isle of Wight, as famous for the weekend entertainment of dancing on the tables as much as the good food, warm welcome and friendly atmosphere. Don’t let the tales of debauchery put you off though, you can enjoy a quiet meal here mid-week and before the music kicks off at 9pm on a Fridays and Saturdays. The pub also provides showers for visiting yachtsmen and women and a ferry service runs between the pontoons until the pub shuts at 11.30pm so you don’t have to face the prospect of a wet bum in the dinghy on the ride back to the boat, luxury!
FlexiSail members are provided with a key tag which gives them 10% off all food from the main menu at The Folly.
