Adult Sailing Taster – Medway Sport 17/05/2026

Join Medway Watersports and Medway Sport for Adult Sailing Taster sessions as part of the Riverfront Community Fitness & Wellbeing initiative in 2026. These friendly, instructor-led sessions give adults and children the chance to try dinghy sailing and kayaking on the Medway, with scheduled dates across the season including 2 May, 13 June, 25 July and 12 September. Participants enjoy two hours on the water in a supportive, beginner-friendly environment.

Sessions are offered at just £5 per person, reduced from the usual £18, and must be pre-booked through the Medway Watersports website with bookings closing the evening before each session. Places are limited and last year’s events sold out quickly, so early booking is recommended. Kids kayaking and sailing are organised for ages 8 to 17 while adults are welcome to take part in taster sail sessions too.

Please note all tickets are non refundable. For safety and comfort you should wear old clothes and suitable footwear such as trainers or water shoes. Flip flops and crocs are not suitable and will not be permitted, and you should bring a towel and dry clothes in case you get wet. The venue is on Strand Approach Road, Gillingham, Kent ME7 1TT.
