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.
