Sailing in the wake of the Mayflower, S. B. Snark will be retracing the route taken by Mayflower and Speedwell, from Southampton to Dartmouth and participating in the various events and celebrations the ports are hosting to celebrate the Mayflower 400 centenary. Unlike the Mayflower we will only be sailing in daylight and will anchor or mooring ‘off -grid’ overnight.

We can accommodate 8 guests in two shared cabins in 4 bunk beds and 4 sailors’ hammocks.  We have 2 shower rooms and a fully equipped galley.  There is plenty of day light and space below deck to socialise or to relax.  Snark is a stable sailing ship with a large top deck and high free boards, which means exciting sailing without being too ‘tippy or splashy’!

S. B. Snark is a spritsail barge, recently constructed off the original plans of commercial sailing barges build by J G Fay in Woolston, Southampton in 1898.  Her design has been updated a little to meet modern passenger vessel standards and to simplify sail handling.  At 84ft on deck and 105 ft overall, she is a couple of feet shorter than Mayflower and lighter at 67 tonnes.  She is slightly larger than the Speedwell.  

Guests are welcome to help with the sailing of Snark or just sit back and enjoy the trip and share some of the sights and experiences that the original Mayflower passengers would have known as well as enjoying the beautiful south coast scenery and watching out for the plentiful wildlife that shares these waters.  Our tariff includes all on board meals and accommodation.

The Highlights: 

• Sail in the wake of the Mayflower around the south coast of England on a traditional seagoing Thames barge.

• Visit the ports they visited on the 400^th anniversary their departure and arrival

• Take part in the Mayflower 400 and other celebrations taking place in Dartmouth and Plymouth.

• Share in the good company aboard, the freshly prepared, locally sourced food and complimentary beverages.

• Enjoy the stunning scenery and historic sites of the South West English south coast and rivers and the diverse wildlife we will encounter along the route.

• Join us for all or just some legs of the voyage and help sail the boat as a guest crew or just relax as a passenger.
