SPECTATOR EVENTS
Ring-side Seats at the World's Greatest Events
Many of Britain's most impressive events take place either at sea or along the coastline. Spectating at these events from your own luxury yacht has to be the ultimate experience.
Imagine sipping champagne after a fabulous meal whilst you gaze at a firework spectacular in splendid isolation - it's as though the show was put on just for you! There are many events to choose from - particularly between the Solent and West Country and we've listed the most popular here.
OLYMPICS 2012 - WEYMOUTH SAILING
29th July to 11th August 2012
Join us for an unforgettable experience at the Weymouth & Portland venues for the 2012 Olympic sailing events.
Clarity will be providing unique hospitality aboard a selection of our most popular vessels during this very special, once in a lifetime event.
Availability is strictly limited due to the nature of the event and interested parties are encouraged to register their interest as soon as possible.
Please send us a message or email to register your interest.
You may reserve part day, full day, evenings or an entire vessel for the duration of the games.
Departures will either be from Weymouth town centre, or Poole Harbour. Weymouth is at the heart of the games but access in and out of the harbour will be strictly limited. Poole however provides easy access for guests travelling from the North and is a gentle 40 minute cruise along the Jurassic coast to Weymouth.
We expect to have the following vessels available:
- Sealine F42/5 (10 guests)
- Sunseeker Manhattan 50 (12 guests)
- Sunseeker Predator 62 (12 guests)
- Sunseeker Manhattan 64 (12 guests)
- Horizon 20M (12 guests)
- Sunseeker Yacht 88 (12 guests)
As a guide, pricing will vary from £345 to £895 per person, per day depending on the yacht and package you choose.
Once again, if you are interesting in chartering during the Olympics, please send us a message to register your interest now.
Note that we will not be allocating any vessels to London during the Olympic games.
COWES WEEK
11th to 18th August 2012
There's nothing to compare with Cowes Week - the oldest and largest annual sailing regatta in the World. The event boasts an eight-day schedule combining competitive racing and great fun for the 8,000 competitors and 80,000 spectators who enjoy a fantastic line up of entertainment day and night.
Clarity provides the finest hospitality available throughout these 8 days aboard our luxury motor yachts. Guests will be collected from their mainland departure point and whisked straight to the centre of the action. We provide detailed race cards for each day's activity and the itinerary includes a trip in to the Event Village in Cowes.
The ultimate day is on Friday when the famous Grand Fireworks Display takes place. Conducted from a pontoon moored in the Solent, hundreds of vessels - from pleasure steamers to small powerboats - lie at anchor, whilst the shore is packed with thousands of spectators watching the fireworks light up the sea and night sky with an amazing burst of colour.
ROUND THE ISLAND RACE
Saturday 30th June 2012
Held annually, this is the World's largest single yacht race of its type, with boats of all shapes and sizes competing on handicap in an anti-clockwise race around the Isle of Wight. In recent years, there have been as many as 1,800 boats and over 14,500 competitors.
The race around the Island's 60 miles of coastline offers many opportunities for guests aboard our yachts to view the activities close at hand, especially around the Needles and along the south coast and our high speed and manouverability means we can get right to the heart of the action wherever it may be.
Chartering a motor yacht for this event is perfect for those wanting to be there but not wanting to take part - just sit back, relax and watch everyone else do all the hard work!
We have now released availability for the 2012 event. If you wish to book one of our larger yachts we advise to book early as they sell quickly. Please call for further details on 0800 44 88 001 or complete our contact form.
LITTLE BRITAIN CHALLENGE CUP
6th to 9th September 2012
The Little Britain Challenge Cup - the construction industry regatta, is held in Cowes on the Isle of Wight - home of world yachting. It allows everyone from MDs and designers to quantity surveyors and builders to escape the world of breezeblocks and blue prints and rub shoulders with notable faces in the sailing world, for a couple of days sailing in the Solent.
The 250-yacht event is now the largest industry event in Europe and is the biggest in Britain after Cowes Week and Clarity provides indulgent hospitality for those not taking part including wives, girlfriends and those who just don't have the energy!
Costs for this event are the same as for our Main Season hospitality rates and include a full bar, gourmet catering and trip ashore to the Event Village.
