assail

'trouble' is the definition.
(assail can mean to trouble or worry)

'perceive a voyage beset' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'voyage' could be 'sail' (synonyms) and 'sail' is located in the answer.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'with' acts as a link.
