Combine the two hobbies and sail to the Isle of Man for the Festival of Motorcycling
Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling
Combine your love for sailing and motorsport with an extraordinary seven-day adventure to the Isle of Man during the Festival of Motorcycling.

Highlights of the Journey
Your sailing adventure starts at Largs Marina, where you will board one of our modern four-cabin yachts. As you sail across the Scottish and Irish seas, you will adjust to the steady pace of the journey and become familiar with your fellow travellers and crew.
