Skippered Yacht Charter – Solent

Family Holidays: Sailing Adventures Around the Solent

Embark on a unique family getaway for a weekend or longer.

If you’re an experienced sailor, feel free to explore our Bareboat Charter section for details on our fleet of yachts.

If you’re new to sailing, our skipper will provide all the necessary sailing instructions and guide you to the best spots, similar to having a ski guide. This option offers the ideal balance: you can relax knowing an expert is onboard, while still enjoying family time in the evenings. If you prefer, we can arrange for the skipper to leave the boat each night and sleep ashore.

You have the freedom to choose your destinations and decide how much time to spend sailing. If you’d like a day to explore on land, we can accommodate that. We pride ourselves on our flexibility and are dedicated to tailoring your sailing holiday to suit your desires.
