Destinations

Here are some ideas 

Every charter is bespoke, use these, combine these or talk to us about something else

We stop in the shadow of the iconic Spinnaker Tower, in the South Coast's leading designer shopping outlet and home to over 90 brands offering up to 60% off all day, every day. There are over 30 restaurants, bars and cafés to choose from.

Stroll through the vibrant town and enjoy the independent shops and well-known yachting clothing stores, sit at a pavement café and people watch or enjoy the excellent pubs and restaurants.

You’ll notice the influence of Prince Albert’s ornate designs in the architecture of many houses and buildings in Cowes

Cowes

The historic port town contains some of the oldest architecture on the Isle of Wight, including a 16th Century castle.
The history of the town is very evident as you walk round and a stroll along the listed pier gives great views across the Solent.
There is a good selection of pubs and restaurants to eat and drink.

Yarmouth

Stroll along the waters edge where there is often a chance to buy fresh fish, and soak up the atmosphere.

From the old town quay a cobbled road leads up to the Georgian market town's High Street which has several independent shops and designer boutiques, as well as a local market held each Saturday which dates back to the 13th century.   

 

Lymington

picturesque natural harbour with a busy medieval past, now bursting with wildlife and a town hall, but with no town.
It is filled with both native and visiting birds, making this one of the best sites on the Island for birdwatching.
Swim, paddleboard or just enjoy the moment on board, this is one of Maia's favourite places

 

Newtown Creek

This natural haven where the New Forest meets the Solent is a beautiful and tranquil spot, well-loved by yachtsmen and nature enthusiasts alike.
The Master Shipbuilder, Henry Adams, and his sons built ships such as Agamemnon, Euryalus and Swiftsure, all of which fought at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.

Beaulieu River

Port Solent

At the very top of Portsmouth harbour, with easy access to the M27 and plenty of free parking, Port Solent is a place to relax, eat, drink, shop, hang out and be entertained.

Is available as an alternative to Universal Marina for start and end point of the charter, and as a 3 cabin on-board overnighting location.

There are plenty to choose from!

The boat is yours for the day so enjoy it as you wish, maybe stay on board, swim or paddleboard. Adults can take the mini RIB and we can organise a barbecue.

Everyone on the beach will be jealous of your ice cold drinks, a proper loo and hot shower for when you're done.
