“We chartered the sloop Windsong for a week. Son and dad. We did the bridges even Potters The boat was superbly prepared and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed the adventure. Great bonding too and such a great boat to sail. Sailed 6 days for many hours each day. Great provisioning and domestics all supplied. Overall Six Stars. Would and intent to go again. Great value too. Lovely staff and boat service team. Nothing too much trouble. Joy too in the shower department after 6 days afloat. “

“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.”
