Discover the Joys of River Sailing
Sailing on a Norfolk River can be very different!
The ever twisting rivers and changing wind and tide, reed beds and trees on the river bank, fellow river users and other sailors around you, all add to the challenge of you making the best of the wind and the river to make progress to get to your destination and enjoy the ride.
With great local knowledge our instructors know every inch of the waters around here between them and they will get you safely to your destination and back home again. There will be fun, laughter, joy and some wonderful stories too. Sit back and relax or hold tight and enjoy the ride!

“My two grandsons did their RYA training here over the summer school holidays. They really enjoyed the training from very good instructors. I enjoyed delivering and collecting them to/from this lovely boatyard and partaking of their coffee & ice cream served from the converted horse box.”

“We travelled 18,000 kms for another holiday with Eastwood-Whelpton straight off the plane from New Zealand.”
“Huge thanks to Annie and Andy and the EW team for the boat prep., dealing with our food order, and pick ups and drop offs at the station. I can’t recommend EW highly enough, and we’ll be back for another holiday just as soon as the opportunity presents.”

“A big thank you to all the staff. We enjoyed a day trip on the Moorhen for our mums special birthday. The staff were helpful from the booking process to the actual day. They could not do enough to make sure we had a fantastic day. They catered for mum’s dietary needs with afternoon tea as well as having an amazing skipper on the day to make the trip very memorable.”
