What we do
Experiences
We helped pioneer and specialise in ‘charter-a-berth’ trips to destinations along the south coast or across the Channel. We organise the boat, the food and the moorings and our skipper takes responsibility. All you have to do is come along, alone or with friends, by the end of the weekend we’re all friends on board anyway!
Parties
Boat parties are great for birthday celebrations or stag and hen weekends. You can come for just a day or how about joining the boat with your group on a Friday for two nights on board. Lots of eating, drinking and some sailing too. It is a perfect way to combine accommodation and entertainment that people will remember for a very long time.
Corporate
Corporate days are a great way to reward staff or customers at very reasonable cost. We have good transport links (train station nearby) and also free parking for your guests. Join the boat in the morning for bacon rolls on-board, then after a safety brief we set off to sail across to the Isle of Wight for lunch and a walk ashore. Sailing back in the afternoon, we can also organise races or competitions. It all builds team work and gets people from different departments talking. And customers love it too, despite being a ‘captive’ audience when on board.
Filming
Our new catamaran makes the ideal stable platform for filming events such as the America’s Cup race and Clipper round-the-world start or just for south coast scenery.
Racing
We take part in the annual Round the Island Race – the highlight of every south coast yachtsman’s year.
