Roseland Paddle & Sail
“Between the Land and the Sea” is a fair description of the Roseland, one of the most beautiful parts of Cornwall. The best way to experience the beauty of this peninsula is by water and it provides some of the best sailing and paddling areas in the country.
What We Offer?
We are always keen to tailor a course to suit your requirements and this has always been popular. If you are not sure what you would like, the RYA and BCU have designed their courses to introduce you to their sports in a progressive way that is both safe and fun.
We offer a variety of courses from absolute beginners to instructor and race training. Choose the one to suit you. We offer courses on half daily, daily or weekly basis. The week courses generally are five half days so that you can get time to see the area while you are here. For young children we often recommend a one hour taster session.
Since opening in 1998 we have upgraded our equipment on a regular basis and this year we have added some RS Qubas to the fleet.
