Blokarting
Blokarting in Jersey – £30 for 1 hour session
If you’re looking for an exciting adventure on a windy day in Jersey – well here it is… blokarting. Think go kart meets sailing… but on the sand propelled by the wind.
Witness 75 year old grannies shrieking gleefully as they overtake their grandkids, and watch as dads and mums go head to head – but most of all watch the enamel come off everyone’s teeth as the grins grow ever wider.
The blokart is easy to master, hand steered like a bike and there’s only one sail. We’ll give you a ten minute sailing and safety brief and then off you go. The thrill and the rush will blow you away!
Blokarting is a brilliant event for family, group activities and corporate events.
Blokarting is also a proven tool in the education environment, where school and youth groups benefit from the easy learning process. Blow-carting is also proving to be an excellent introduction to (wet) sailing in addition to a sport in its own right.
We have a mixture of both x-sails and blokarts in our fleet (14 in all) making us the largest provider of landsailing in Jersey = more people for you to race against.
Our Blokart activity takes place at our site in the middle if St Ouens Bay (Big Vern’s Slip), Jersey which is ideally exposed to all wind directions.
Blokarting takes place 3 hours before and after low tide.
* Out of respect and courtesy to other beach users we are very strict in restricting blo-karters to our demarcated track, which is designed to incorporate all aspects of land yachting including jives and upwind turns.
