Sailing from her home port of Whitby you can cruise the waters where Captain James Cook learned his craft.

Observe the wildlife and pre-history of this 180 million year old Jurassic fossil coast, see from the sea where world history was made and where Dracula landed.

See Whitby as it should be seen - under sail on the decks of a cruising yacht as she sails the waters of the North Yorkshire coast.

Skipper Mike Coates is a blue-water sailor, a commercial yachtmaster who is widely known and respected in the sailing community through his columns in Practical Boat Owner.

Mike is also available for marine consultancy and lecturing.
