Elite Sailing’s base at Chatham is an excellent starting point for a cruise of this region – and highly convenient for anyone travelling from London or the home counties (just 45 minutes by train from central London or 20 minutes from the M25 at Dartford), with free parking and excellent facilities.

Sailing Area

The River Medway in Kent is still an active commercial port and the scenery is a mix of Napoleonic forts and power stations contrasting with salt marches and bird sanctuaries. But it is an excellent, sheltered cruising base where you can sail in almost any weather and reach anywhere in the Thames estuary in a day’s sail. To the north lies the gentle Essex and Suffolk coasts with the rivers Crouch, Roach, Blackwater, Colne, Orwell, Ore and Deben. To the south and East lies the North Kent Coast with anchorages in the Swale on the way along to Ramsgate and the Dover Strait. France, Belgium and Holland are a day’s passage away.

Skippered Charter

The sailing yachts available for charter are Jeanneau 389 (Lightning) and a Bavaria 46 (Tonic). Prices vary with season and the party size and requirements. It could be local sailing, a tour of the East Coast or a trip to France, Holland or Belgium.
