Desert Island BBQ                

A unique opportunity to ski out to Margate Sands sandbank. At low tide it is one of the largest sandbanks covering 1 square mile and regardless of conditions provides excellent waves on the turning tide for wave jumping. BBQ on the beach a game of cricket and the customary Pimms (it wouldn’t be the same without it !) and if we are lucky will see the basking seals.

LOW tide:      14^th - 10:09am @ 0.5m
                    15^th - 10.53am @ 0.8m

Launch at:     14^th - 9:00am LATEST
                    15^th - 9:15am LATEST 

Due to the tide depths and gradients of the sandbanks, the tide moves in very quickly, it is therefore essential to meet the prompt launch times to enjoy the day.
