We have revised our Yacht Charter and Sailing School booking conditions to offer greater flexibility and reassurance.

And we are still OPEN operating all areas of our Maintenance and Repairs business as near as normal in the circumstances.

So please call us what ever your requirement.

Yacht Charter

Looking forward to getting back out on the water again ????

Then book now for some great offers on Chartering in the Solent, whether for just a day or may be longer.

In addition to our naturally stringent cleaning regimes we will be putting in place extra measures to fully disinfect all hard surfaces as well as ensuring there is a minimum of 2 days turn around between each charter.

We will be introducing a video briefing so that you can learn all about the operational aspects of your yacht before you come down. Then handover will be just a quick process to confirm you are happy.

A day on the water may be just the ticket when restrictions are eased. You can also book a skipper if you don’t have enough confidence to sail on your own.

Sailing School & RYA Training

We have been keeping a close eye on the guidance from the RYA to ensure that we are finding the right balance for both our clients and instructors. Whilst it is not be possible to run our courses as normal at the moment, we hope to be able to find solutions in the near future and are very happy to take bookings for later in the year.

There may also be options for small groups to day sail so please contact us to discuss various options.
