Sailing in the heart of the Peak District.

If you’re looking to get out on the water with a group of friends, family or work mates, these Laser Pico single handed sailing boats make for a truly enthralling outdoor activity and they’re perfect if you’re looking for a beginners sailing experience.

Following a 15 minute land drill, your group will take to the water with one person per boat.

Your group will need to be water confident to take part as you’ll be sailing in open water that’s approx 15 metres deep, although they don’t need to be able to swim as buoyancy aids are provided.

Our instructor is always close by in their own boat to give assistance if needed, afterall, this is a beginners sailing experience.

This outdoor activity can really pick up speed as the wind increases. It’s exhilarating to be single handedly in control of your own sailing boat. If you’re looking for some real laughs we can set your group up for some racing. Let’s see how you handle a bit of competition.

You might want to stick to the warmer months when booking this experience as the water can be quite chilly! Go on – get some wind in your sails!

All the fun with no drama


Early December we undertook a stag do booked through Hard Days Knight (HDK). Greg and the team there made the whole experience as easy and seamless as possible, helping us book amazing accommodation in Belper for 13 people and then finding us fantastic activities to fill the stag. Greg was a pleasure to wok with being friendly and understanding as our plans shifted around a bit and organised a shooting experience and pub tour for the stag both of which went down amazingly. The shooting experience as a fun filled morning of competition and laughs then the pub tour took us to some fantastic pubs, with great choices of beer and food. We'd all be happy to do the tour again and see what other pubs Greg would find for us! Through HDK we had transport to and from the activities sorted and it made the weekend flow so smoothly. I can't thank HDK enough for making it such an easy experience and I'd recommend them to anyone looking to organise a Stag or similar event. Thank you so much :)

First of all would love to say thank you to greg and the team from the start right up to the end they was always helpful and never to busy to help. We booked a stag weekend with them that consisted with a log cabin, quad biking and a zombie experience the whole group had an amazing time so much that we are now looking at doing it yearly (after convincing the wives). So Thank you to HDK for an amazing stag weekend that was planned by yourselves. Ben

I used HDK for my sisters hen do. If you want hassle free please and organisation, use Hard Days Knight was effortless . I just picked where and when and what activities we wanted and it was all organised for us. Very very helpful and accommodating couldn’t do enough, was a pleasure. Answered any questions kept in touch.
