UK Bareboat Charter
UK Bareboat Charter
The largest luxury bareboat yacht charter fleet in the Solent
From the breath-taking views of The Needles to the sun setting over Osbourne Bay, there is no better place to enjoy a UK bareboat charter that offers so much at every level. From a novice to the highly experienced sailor, there is always something to enjoy and learn in the Solent. Sheltered anchorages, superb scenery, and numerous historic ports all a very short distance apart – that’s why Solent sailing is so rewarding.
The Solent offers world-class sailing conditions and spectacular scenery. Its protected waters offer a unique and challenging sailing experience, perfect for experienced and novice sailors alike. The 30-mile stretch of water between England and the Isle of Wight, flanked at one end by the famous Needles and at the other by the historic Napoleonic forts, provides some of the most popular cruising waters in the world.
You can visit pretty harbours at Hamble, Beaulieu and Lymington, moor up and visit a waterside pub on the Isle of Wight, like the charismatic Folly Inn, or stroll around the narrow streets of Cowes. There’s even a place for a spot of shopping at Gunwharf Quays in historic Portsmouth.
Choose from one of our 16 matched fleet of Oceanis 37s, or enjoy a more spacious experience on our Dufour 430 GL & Dufour 460 GL
Whatever the day and time of year there is always something to see in this busy stretch of water.
