Emma Claire

Set Sail on an Unforgettable Adventure Aboard Emma Claire

Join us for sailing adventures around the stunning coasts of Devon, Cornwall, France, and even the Caribbean aboard Emma Claire—a charming, modern yacht lovingly skippered by RNLI coxswain Chris and his wife, Bryony. Designed for small groups of family or friends, she comfortably sleeps up to four guests in private cabins, making her ideal for a relaxed and personal holiday on the water.

Originally built in 1996, Emma Claire may be considered “vintage,” but she still turns heads with her sleek Italian design and solid build. Thanks to years of careful maintenance and TLC, she’s in fantastic condition—and full of character!

Sailing her is a breeze thanks to her modern masthead sloop rig. Chris often sails her single-handedly, but if you’re curious about learning the ropes, he’s more than happy to teach you the basics—hoisting sails, taking the helm, winching, and even a bit of navigation. Her stable hull and easy-to-handle setup make her the perfect boat for beginners and curious adventurers alike.

Comfort Below Decks

Below deck, Emma Claire is cosy and thoughtfully laid out. She offers one double cabin and a twin bunk cabin for guests, along with a bathroom that includes a pull-out shower if needed. The saloon is bright and welcoming, complete with cushioned seating, a dining table, and a well-equipped galley—ideal for sharing meals and stories after a day on the water.

Relax Above Decks

Up top, there’s a comfy cockpit and plenty of deck space to unwind. Whether you’re watching the coastline drift by, breathing in the sea air, or soaking up the sun, Emma Claire offers a wonderfully peaceful way to reconnect—with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself.
