Thoughts from your Skipper, Matt

“I’ve been sailing since I was a kid, sailing across the bay of Biscay with my Dad when I was only 12. The sea has always felt like home. There’s nothing quite like the peace you get out on the water, the open space, the views you can’t get from land, and the wildlife that always surprises you.

I started Sussex Yacht Experiences because I think we have some of the best views in the world and I want to share them with others. Whether it’s a calm coastal cruise or a golden?hour sail, my goal is simple: to give you an unforgettable time on the water with a skipper who genuinely loves being out there.”
