Explore the Solent sailing as a bareboat charter.
Required Yacht Charter Qualifications
To take a bareboat charter in the Solent, 2 members of the party (the skipper and first mate) need to have at least a RYA Day Skipper Practical qualification and have skippering/sailing experience on a yacht close to the size you are chartering.
We do recognise that not everyone has been formally trained so if you do not hold a sailing qualification please contact us & we can discuss your options.
Location & Sailing Area
Our fleet is based at Mercury Yacht Harbour on the River Hamble with our yachts able to cruise the Solent and surrounding waters of the Isle of Wight.
Please note that this year we are restricting our charters between Chichester and Weymouth and we are not able to offer cross channel charters.
Here is a guide to the local area and some of the attractions that are on offer.

At the end of your charter
All we ask is that you return the yacht to us in the same way that you found it. We make no charge for gas but we do ask that you fill-up the diesel and water tanks on your return.
As far as cleaning is concerned if you want to simply step off the yacht at the end of your charter then we do offer a cleaning service for £150.
