Optional paddleboarding can be added when conditions suit. 📌 Key Details Duration: Approximately 3.5 hours Group size: Up to 7 guests Swimming: Wild swimming in open water - please be a confident swimmer; spots are chosen for shelter and conditions Children: Under-16s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian; children's lifejackets suit ages 8-16 and we can't accommodate infants Weather: Alternative date or full refund if we cancel for bad weather Optional extras: Paddleboard hire; Wetsuit hire (please enquire); Photography package 🌊 What to Expect Plymouth Sound has some wonderful places to swim, and aboard Bounty we can reach off-the-beaten-track spots most people never see from the beach. With sails, oars and a whisper-quiet electric motor, we can approach wildlife closely without startling it, then drop anchor in a sheltered cove for a swim. Conrad Humphreys or a member of the crew skippers the replica Mutiny launch with up to seven guests. Spots are chosen on the day for shelter and conditions, so the swim is part of a real voyage rather than a fixed pool stop. Bring your swim kit and a towel; a changing robe is useful if you have one, and wetsuit hire is available if you ask us in advance. Paddleboards can be hired on the day when we find sheltered water, provided you're comfortable swimming 50m in open water. The outing is about 3.5 hours, with Spinlock lifejackets and a safety briefing before we leave Mount Batten. You can take the helm on the way out and back, or sit on deck and watch the coves appear. 📍 Location Swim sails leave from the Mount Batten Centre in Plymouth, with free parking next to the pontoon. 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. Plymouth Sound's sheltered bays and clear water make wild swimming from Bounty a highlight of being on this National Marine Park. Your skipper picks the best spot on the day for conditions and views, which is why we don't pin the swim to a single named beach. Seals, dolphins and rich birdlife share these waters, and the quiet motor helps us close in without fuss. ✅ Prerequisites You d… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Skippered sail with Conrad Humphreys Wild-swim and wildlife spots tailored to the day's conditions Spinlock lifejackets for all guests Free parking at Mount Batten ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point Paddleboard hire (optional extra) Wetsuit hire (please enquire) (optional extra) Photography package (optional extra) ### Kit list Swimwear and a towel Warm layers and a waterproof jacket Sun hat and sun cream Trainers or soft shoes suitable for sailing Water bottle ## FAQs ### Do I need any sailing experience?
