From there we head up the River Tamar past the Royal Naval Dockyard to the Brunel Bridge, then into the River Lynher, one of the most wonderful rivers in the West Country. Conrad Humphreys or a member of the crew skippers Bounty, the replica launch from Channel 4's Mutiny. With only seven guests aboard, the day stays personal, and you can take the helm, trim the sails or simply watch the banks change as we leave the open Sound behind. A refreshment or lunch stop at Royal William Yard is part of the day, or you can bring a packed lunch if you prefer. Optional paddleboard hire is available on this voyage when we find sheltered water suited to the conditions; you'll need to be comfortable swimming 50m in open water if you paddle. Spinlock lifejackets and a safety briefing come before we leave the pontoon. Six hours on this route is long enough to feel like a real expedition, not a harbour tour. 📍 Location River voyages start from the Mount Batten Centre, with free parking on site before we head beyond the Sound. Exact directions and a what3words location are sent ahead of your trip. Please arrive in good time for your safety briefing and lifejacket fitting. Look for the grey container on the south-west coast path by the northern slipway, about 50m from Mount Batten Watersports Centre, and register your vehicle on arrival. The Tamar and Lynher weave through Devon and Cornwall past the Dockyard, Brunel Bridge and quiet creeks that are hard to see from the road. You start in Plymouth Sound National Marine Park and then leave the open water for river country few visitors reach by boat. Royal William Yard sits on the way, which is why a lunch or refreshment stop there… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Skippered sail with Conrad Humphreys Refreshment stop ashore Spinlock lifejackets for all guests Free parking at Mount Batten ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point Packed lunch service (optional extra) Stand-up paddleboard hire (optional extra) Photography package (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 refreshments, or a packed lunch if you prefer ## FAQs ### Do I need any sailing experience?
