This afternoon blends genuine sailing across Plymouth Sound with time ashore for lunch, coffee or a drink before we carry you home to Mount Batten. 📌 Key Details Duration: Approximately 3.5 hours Group size: Up to 7 guests When: Wednesday to Sunday. Morning starts around 09:00 and afternoon around 14:00; we can be flexible with notice. Food: Time ashore at Royal William Yard for lunch or drinks Children: Under-16s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian; children's lifejackets suit ages 8-16 and we can't accommodate infants 🌊 What to Expect After a safety briefing at Mount Batten we cast off across Plymouth Sound National Marine Park with Conrad Humphreys or a member of the crew at the helm. Bounty is the replica launch from Channel 4's Mutiny, and as we cruise and circle Drake's Island you watch one of the UK's most impressive historic waterfronts open up from the sea. With only seven guests on board the crossing stays personal: take the helm, trim the sails, or sit on deck with the Hoe and the forts in the wider view while Conrad shares stories from maritime history and his own round-the-world miles. We tie up at Royal William Yard so you can step ashore among the grand stone buildings for lunch, coffee or a drink at your own pace, then rejoin us for the sail home across the Sound. The whole adventure is about 3.5 hours of genuine sailing with a relaxed pause on the waterfront built in, not squeezed in at the end. Routes flex with tide, but the rhythm stays the same: brief, board, sail out, savour the Yard, sail back. On the return leg you get another chance to steer or simply watch the city skyline and open water while seabirds and occasional dolphins pass by. Spinlock lifejackets are fitted on the pontoon before we leave, and Conrad keeps the group small so everyone who wants a turn at the helm gets one. 📍 Location Mount Batten sits inside Plymouth Sound National Marine Park, where Drake's Island, the Royal Citadel and centuries of naval history frame every mile. Royal William Yard lies across the water from us, so arriving by boat is the memorable way to step ashore: you have already crossed a marine park home to more than a thousand species and hundreds of historic wrecks before your feet touch the quay. Our boat club is on the south-west coast path at Mount Batten, with free parking at the centre about 50 metres… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Skippered sail with Conrad Humphreys Spinlock lifejackets for all guests Free parking at Mount Batten Time ashore at Royal William Yard ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point Restaurant reservation at Royal William Yard (optional extra) Photography package (optional extra) Private charter for your own group (optional extra) ### Kit list Warm jacket and layers Sun hat and sun cream Water bottle Trainers or soft shoes suitable for sailing A little cash for lunch or drinks ashore ## FAQs ### Do I need any sailing experience? None at all. Conrad and the crew handle the navigation while you take the helm, raise the sails or simply relax on deck. First-time sailors are very welcome on this Royal William Yard voyage. You will get a safety briefing and Spinlock lifejacket fitting before we leave the pontoon, and the crew stays with you throughout your time on Plymouth Sound. ### What if we need to postpone your sail? Safety comes first on every voyage. If we need to postpone for any reason, we will contact you as soon as we can and offer another date that suits you. If a revised date does not work, we will refund you in full. Our crew stays in touch through Adventuro chat or by phone so you are never left guessing on the morning of your trip. ### What should I bring? Pack warm layers, soft-soled shoes such as trainers, a sun hat, sun cream, a water bottle and snacks for time on the water. Spinlock lifejackets are provided for all guests. Bring a little cash or a card for lunch or drinks ashore at Royal William Yard, and book a table ahead at busy times if you can. ### Where do we meet? We meet at Bounty & Hope Boat Club on the Mount Batten waterfront, about 50 metres from Mount Batten Watersports Centre on the south-west coast path. Use What3Words ///safe.cloud.detail for the exact pontoon. Free parking is available on site at the Mount Batten Centre; register your vehicle when you arrive. Exact directions and a what3words link are sent to you ahead of your trip. ### Is this the actual boat from Channel 4's Mutiny? Yes. Bounty is the authentic replica of Captain Bligh's open launch from Channel 4's Mutiny, in which Conrad and the crew retraced Bligh's 3,600-mile open-boat survival voyage across the Pacific. You can watch the series on Channel 4's online catalogue. Conrad Humphreys skippered the Mutiny voyage and leads these sails on Bounty today. ### How safe is Bounty? Bounty is MCA Category 4 licensed and carries up to seven guests plus crew. Every guest wears a Spinlock Deckvest, the gold standard in sailing lifejackets, trusted on the Vendee Globe and Ocean Race. You will receive a safety briefing and lifejacket fitting before departure. Under-16s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian; children's lifejackets suit ages 8 to 16. ### Is the boat accessible? Can children come? We can accommodate many guests with accessibility or mobility needs if you tell us when you book, so we can plan boarding, seating and your time ashore at Royal William Yard. Children aged 8 to 16 are welcome with a parent or guardian, and we carry lifejackets to fit. We cannot accommodate infants on board; please message us if you are unsure whether this voyage suits your family. ### What optional extras are available? You can add a photography package or book a private charter for your own group of up to seven guests when you enquire or at checkout, subject to availability. We can also suggest a restaurant reservation at Royal William Yard if you would like help planning your time ashore. Message us on Adventuro chat with your preferred date and group size. ### Can I book a private charter for my group? Yes. Private charters are available for corporate team-building, celebrations and bespoke group experiences for up to seven guests. Conrad shapes the sail and your time at the Yard around your goals. Select the full boat charter booking option, or message us on Adventuro chat if you would like a tailored proposal before you confirm. ### How long do we have ashore at Royal William Yard? You have a relaxed window ashore for lunch, coffee or a drink at Royal William Yard before we sail back to Mount Batten. The exact timing flexes slightly with tide, but the afternoon is built around savouring the waterfront, not rushing through it. Book a table ahead at busy times so you can make the most of your time on the quay. Conrad and the crew keep you informed as we approach so you know when to head back to Bounty for the return sail. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/1790776591823_051A6205-2.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
