Set Sail with Sunsail – An Exclusive Evening at the Little Ship Club
Join us on 6th January for a special evening where the Little Ship Club warmly welcomes Rory Percival, Business Development Manager at Sunsail, for a relaxed and inspiring introduction to the world of unforgettable sailing holidays.
We’ll kick off the night with a Caribbean-inspired rum tasting, setting the tone for an immersive journey through Sunsail’s global destinations — from the trade winds of the British Virgin Island’s to the vibrant coastlines of the Mediterranean, Seychelles, Thailand, and beyond.
Rory will share a short and engaging presentation on Sunsail’s heritage, our fleet, our sailing experiences, and what sets our brand apart, including flotillas, bareboat adventures, and skippered options for all experience levels. You’ll also get a first look at a selection of exclusive member offers created especially for the Little Ship Club community.
Whether you’re planning your next blue-water escape, curious about trying a flotilla for the first time, or simply keen to meet fellow sailors over a glass of rum, this is the perfect informal evening to start charting your next adventure.
Save the date – 6th January – and let’s raise a glass to new horizons, great company, and extraordinary sailing.
We look forward to welcoming you aboard!

Dine riverside at the Little Ship Club – Open to all
Looking for a unique riverside dining experience in central London?
The Little Ship Club, located beside Southwark Bridge, is open to members and non-members and offers a welcoming atmosphere with stunning views of the Thames.
Join us for a relaxed and festive Christmas celebration with a menu designed to feel special without being fussy. Start your meal with beautifully balanced dishes such as five-spice smoked duck with orange-pickled fennel, seared scallops with apple purée and toasted pine nuts, or a vibrant Cashel Blue and pear salad. Plant-based diners are well catered for with an elegant beetroot carpaccio finished with whipped chive cream and crisp seaweed tapioca.
For the main event, choose from traditional roast turkey with all the trimmings, crispy skin cod with Champagne beurre blanc, or a rich wild mushroom Wellington served with chestnut Brussels sprouts and velvety mushroom velouté. Dessert brings a mix of classic comfort and indulgence – from lemon meringue pie and a peanut-butter chocolate slice to a traditional Christmas pudding or a generous cheeseboard.
Lunch finishes with tea or coffee and a mince pie – the perfect end to a festive afternoon.
Our full wine list is available, including club favourites and a generous 20% discount for Little Ship Club and CLC members.
A warm, seasonal menu, good wine and good company – an ideal way to celebrate the season together.
