What do the different availabilities mean?

Fully available: There are currently no plans for Longbow for dates in normal font: she is available for long or short bookings.

Dates in bold: Some berths may already be booked for these dates, either by a small group or by a number of individuals, and/or we may have definite plans for this cruise. If you would like a sociable cruise, do email or call to find out if one of these cruises might suit you. We aim to match up people wanting similar types of cruises: we try not to put those wanting a relaxed introduction to sailing with people looking for intensive sail training! Prices for a 6-day cruise vary from £524 for early or late cruises to £620 at high season, with discounts available for two or more people booking together.

Fully booked: Longbow is already fully booked for these dates.

Unavailable: Longbow is unavailable for bookings for these dates: she may be being prepared for the next cruise or be scheduled for restocking and maintenance, or the skipper may be unavailable. Longbow is hoisted out of the water over the winter.
