The itinerary for your time with us is entirely flexible and can be tailored to your precise requirements.
To give you a taster of what to expect we have detailed a popular itinerary departing from Portsmouth Harbour taking in some of the more popular sights of the Solent.
Many of our yachts are also available for part day charter from £90 per head. Please call for more information.
At the foot of the Spinnaker Tower, the south coasts newest and most striking landmark is Gunwharf Quays, a premier waterside shopping and eating destination. Guests arrive at the yacht for a champagne reception and are introduced to the crew who provide a summary of the days activities.

After a short safety briefing we depart Gunwharf Quays & take a tour of the harbour. Historic warships such as HMS Victory rest alongside modern warships and aircraft carriers in this unique destination. There is also time to see Portchester Castle before heading out into the Solent.
10.45am
Napoleonic Forts
As we leave the harbour and enter the Solent the throttles are opened and the boat lifts onto the plane - an exhilirating experience for anyone not used to motor yachts! We speed past the Napoleonic Forts and over towards the Isle of Wight.
11.00am
Osborne House
As we get closer to the Isle of Wight we make a sharp tuen West and head towards Osborne Bay where a striking view of Osborne House somes into view. Osborne House was the favoured home of Queen Victoria and where the monarch spent her final days.
11.30am
Cowes
As we head along the coastline and around the headland, Cowes comes into view. Undoubtedly the home of world yachting, there is always something happening. We continue past Cowes but will usually have to slow down as the level of traffic is always challenging for even the most experienced Skipper!

Thorness Bay
Just around the next headland is Thorness Bay. Sheltered from the prevailing winds the bay is ideal for guests to take the helm and put the yacht through its paces. A memory most guests will treasure forever!

Newtown Creek
Just a short distance further is Newtown Creek, a national trust nature reserve and one of the most popular destinations to drop anchor, crack open the champagne and settle in for a gourmet lunch on aboard the yacht. The idyllic setting is truly unique.
