Dublin – A Coruna
Departing October 6th, this journey begins in Dublin and crosses the legendary Bay of Biscay to A Coruña. Sail through breathtaking waters, explore historic harbours, and experience the perfect blend of adventure and discovery.
A section of the Atlantic Ocean called the Bay of Biscay is situated off the northern and western coasts of Spain and France. Stretching from Point Penmarch in the north to Cape Ortegal (Galicia) in the south, it covers an area of 223,000 km². The region is recognised for its rough seas because a portion of the continental shelf extends deep into the bay, resulting in generally shallow waters in several places. This sailing adventure offers an excellent combination of ocean sailing, mile building and learning under the supervision of our Yachtmaster instructor.
Set sail on an unforgettable adventure and build your sailing skills under the guidance of our expert RYA Yachtmaster Instructors. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your technique, this hands-on experience will help you master essential sailing skills while navigating the breathtaking waters of the Atlantic.
Rhis voyage offers hands-on experience in watchkeeping, navigation, sail handling, and vessel management. Sail along varied coastlines and through changing conditions, with planned stops in historic ports for rest and resupply. Whether you’re looking to advance your seamanship or gain offshore miles, this is a structured and rewarding opportunity to deepen your sailing skills.
Beneteau Oceanis 45 Osprey

Her spacious and tastefully appointed interior, along with a well-considered deck plan for easy manoeuvring, ensures both ease and enjoyment under sail.

Enjoy wholesome food prepared onboard, sample local delicacies ashore, and encounter wildlife in its natural setting — all while taking in unforgettable sunsets from the deck. Innovative features such as the drop-down transom, which transforms into a bathing platform, further enhance safety and comfort, redefining what it means to unwind at sea.

2 weeks agoI have been sailing with Go West regularly for two years now and I have done Competent Crew, Day Skipper Theory and Day Skipper Practical with them. I have also done 3 experience builders, their specialist pontoon and close quarters manoeuvres weekend and most recently a 7 day adventure sail from Largs to Oban. Next up is the VHF course. I have now sailed on 6 of their boats and with 6 of their instructors. Go West is a very well run business, with a considerable number of repeat customers. Their boats are all very well maintained and equipped and their instructors are patient, knowledgeable and polite. However, above all they are all passionate committed lifelong sailors who are keen to pass on their enthusiasm to their customers. I will definitely sail with them again.

3 weeks agoI had an incredible week sailing along Scotland’s west coast from Largs in May 2025. We explored some stunning Scottish islands with our fantastic skipper, Danny, who made the whole trip even better. The yacht was modern, really comfortable, and a joy to sail. It was an unforgettable experience - great training, a real sense of adventure, and so much fun. I’d highly recommend it to anyone!

2 weeks agoI have just completed my first weekend of three, aboard Solway Adventurer, learning towards obtaining my day skipper qualification. The instructor was relaxed and knowledgeable. Learning points were clear and he was patient with my questions and allowed me to practice manoeuvres repeatedly when needed, not stepping in but talking me through it. Looking forward to the next two weekends

a month agoAnother Exceptional Adventure with Go West Sailing – This Time Aboard Skylark. After many fantastic years of training and chartering with Go West Sailing, I returned once again this season – this time for a one-way sailing, hiking, and photography trip from Oban to Largs aboard Skylark, their beautifully maintained Oceanis 45. Skylark proved to be an outstanding yacht for a demanding passage. We encountered a range of conditions, including winds up to Beaufort 8, and her responsiveness and seaworthiness made all the difference. Even when beating against strong headwinds, she handled beautifully and gave us both safety and performance when we needed it most. At the other end of the spectrum, calmer moments offered their own kind of magic – from sunset dinners in the cockpit to quiet anchorages ideal for photography. The layout and comfort of Skylark allowed us to enjoy every moment, no matter the weather. As always, the Go West shore team provided excellent support – responsive, professional, and genuinely friendly. Whether preparing the yacht or assisting with logistics, their care and expertise were evident at every step. This trip was a perfect blend of adventure and serenity, and I’m once again grateful to the entire Go West team for making it possible. I’ll undoubtedly be back for more!
