Step aboard a modern, private yacht for a relaxing and luxurious day on the Solent. Whether you’re looking for a special celebration or just a peaceful escape, this sailing experience offers the perfect balance of adventure and leisure. With a well-qualified skipper and crew, you can get as involved as you like in the sailing or simply sit back with a glass of English sparkling wine and take in the beautiful scenery.
Begin your sailing adventure with a welcome aboard a spacious, luxurious yacht, where you’ll be greeted with a glass of Nyetimber English sparkling wine. After a smooth departure from Lymington, the yacht will cruise through the Solent, offering you amazing views of the coastline and an opportunity to enjoy the sea breeze. Feel free to take the helm, help with the sails, or simply relax on deck.
A few hours into the sail, the yacht will anchor off the coast of the Isle of Wight. Here, you’ll enjoy a freshly prepared two-course meal served on deck. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can take a dip in the sea before continuing the journey. After the meal, the yacht sets sail again for a peaceful return trip to Lymington. Enjoy more time on the water, either participating in the sailing or unwinding in the open-air saloon. This is a perfect way to end your trip, refreshed and relaxed.
Your trip will begin and end in Lymington, Hampshire, an ideal starting point for exploring the Solent and the Isle of Wight.
