Sailing aboard the Brixham trawler Provident in early September is an experience that perfectly captures the essence of slow tourism. With the summer crowds fading away, the sea takes on a peaceful stillness, offering the ideal setting to slow down, reconnect with nature, and truly unwind.

As we glide through crystal-clear waters, you’ll have the chance to embrace the simple pleasures of life at sea. The gentle rhythm of the waves, the creak of the rigging, and the salty breeze create a soothing soundtrack for total relaxation. Whether you choose to lounge on deck with a book, take the helm for a while, or simply gaze out at the endless horizon, time seems to stretch, allowing you to savour every moment.

We’ll anchor in secluded bays near remote islands, where you can step ashore to explore or if you’re a dipper, enjoy a slow swim in the refreshing, clear waters. With no rush to be anywhere, you can take your time, floating lazily and watching the light dance on the surface. Back aboard warm up with a warm shower followed by tea and cakes.

Wildlife lovers will be in their element—seals, dolphins, and a variety of seabirds are often spotted, while the rugged coastlines provide a sanctuary for many hidden creatures.

As the day winds down, you’ll be treated to breathtaking sunsets. The September sky glows with warm hues of orange, pink, and gold, casting a magical light over the water. With fewer boats on the horizon, the scene feels wonderfully remote and serene.

Back on board, you can relax in Provident’s cosy deckhouse, sharing stories with fellow guests over a delicious, locally sourced meal. The sense of camaraderie grows as you enjoy the easy rhythm of life at sea, free from the demands of everyday life.

Sailing with Provident in early September is more than just a holiday—it’s an opportunity to slow down, embrace simplicity, and create lasting memories surrounded by the beauty of nature.
