South Devon Day Sail
Come aboard Pilgrim for our South Devon Day Sail. You’ll depart from the historic fishing port of Brixham, we will spend the day exploring the coastline, bays and estuaries of Torbay. You’ll experience exhilarating sailing and also get the chance to soak up the stunning scenery. Pilgrim is a fully restored heritage sailing trawler, and a proud member of the UK National Historic Fleet. She was built in Brixham in 1895 at Upham’s Yard, which was located right next to where she now berths.
Sailing on Pilgrim – An Experience of a Lifetime
Sailing on Pilgrim is a real life adventure! You can learn how the very first trawlermen used to handle these heavy and powerful vessels. If you’d like to, you will be able to work alongside the crew to sail Pilgrim in the traditional manner, or you can relax and enjoy the sail. Either way, you’ll enjoy the modern guest facilities we have on board.
Your South Devon Day Sail will start and end in Brixham at the southern end of Torbay. Brixham is known as as the ‘mother of trawling’. In this pioneering town the sailing trawler was first developed over 200 years ago. To this day, Brixham is still England’s most valuable fishing port. It is bustling now, as it was then, and the harbour is still characterised by quaint colourful fishermen’s cottages and scores of fishing boats.
