Our guests range from complete novices to Yachtmasters - so you need not worry about your levels of experience. Those on board - of any age - can choose to sit back and relax and enjoy the sailing or get involved and 'learn the ropes’. It’s a great day out on the water for individuals, couples, groups of friends and family, colleagues and clients!

We are delighted to have received such excellent TripAdvisor reviews and to have been awarded a Certificate of Excellence in 2013, 2014, 2015 and again in 2016! We are also thrilled to have won the Brilliance in Business Award for Outstanding Customer Service in 2014/15 and been a finalist in the Best Young Person in Business Award in 2015/16. We provide a friendly, highly qualified and experienced skipper to sail the yacht and also a member of crew to look after you. We relate to our guests with courtesy, style and discretion. Most of our guests have never sailed before, so we love to share our passion for sailing with you. We work hard to ensure that you have a really relaxing and enjoyable day!

We provide a high quality service to our guests, using beautiful, modern, luxury yachts in the Jeanneau fleet from 40 to 50 feet. Our yachts accommodate up to 10 people for a day sail. For larger groups, we can provide more than one yacht. The yachts sail together, anchor together for the meal, and then you can enjoy the friendly competition of a race back to Lymington afterwards! It’s just as much fun – and the host can always swap to the other yacht at lunchtime, so they get to spend time with everyone.

Our yachts are based in Lymington in the beautiful New Forest, with easy access by road, rail and air. From Lymington, we are straight out onto the Western Solent. On your sail from Lymington, you can visit harbours and anchorages at Cowes, Yarmouth or Newtown on the Isle of Wight, or Beaulieu or Hamble on the mainland - and also sail past the Needles and anchor in Alum Bay. When we anchor for the meal, you can also enjoy a swim in the Solent! You check in at Lymington Yacht Haven at 0900 for the Sail with Lunch or 1500 for the Sail with Dinner and then set sail on the Solent, with a glass of bubbly in hand! After a few hours sailing, we anchor off the Isle of Wight to serve a freshly prepared two-course meal on board the yacht. After the meal there is more sailing before we return to Lymington.

Our Sail with Lunch or Dinner special offer price is only £99 per person – a 50% discount for you if you quote Wedding Inspiration!
