Solent
Sailing Weekends and midweek 2 day breaks
Our
Solent sailing weekends run every weekend throughout the year and
provide a fantastic opportunity for sailors of all abilities to
spend a full weekend sailing the Solent on one of our powerful
42ft yachts. These weekends are extremely popular with
sailors of all abilities and provide an ideal way to learn new
skills or to experience big boat sailing for the first time.
Our yachts are larger and better equipped than most other sailing
businesses. This means you will normally have the privacy of
your own cabin, there is more space on deck and in the colder
months our yachts have powerful central heating systems.

weekend will depend upon the prevailing wind and tide however regular
itineraries include sailing around the Isle of Wight, exploring
the Western Solent & Poole or heading east to visit
