Yacht Charters

Skippered yacht charters are available for family and friends of University of 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 staff. Bareboat charters are available to anyone with the correct qualifications.

Skippered charters

天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 skippered yachts take up to 8 clients for a days sailing. 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 skippers have in-depth knowledge of the Solent and beyond and will base the day on your needs. They know where to go to have a great day!

A day's sailing on a Solent yacht charter is ideal for special occasions or corporate team building. We set sail from Town Quay in 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载. We hoist the sails near to Mayflower and sail up 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 Water towards Calshot Spit.

You may like to have a picnic lunch on the yacht at anchor. Depending on the weather, your skipper will suggest the best location for an anchorage. Often, we use Osbourne Bay, overlooked by Queen Victoria’s Osbourne house.

An alternative to lunch at anchor would be mooring up at West Cowes on the Isle of Wight. Mooring fees are not included in the charter and will be approximately ?30 for a short-term stay. Once in West Cowes you are welcome to eat in a restaurant of your choosing.

In the afternoon, we set sail back across the Central Solent. We arrive back into 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 Water and north to Town Quay.
