Step aboard a beautiful, modern yacht for an unforgettable sailing day. Whether you're joining as a solo adventurer, part of a group, or looking to mark a special occasion, this shared sailing trip offers the perfect balance of relaxation and fun.

Start your day with a warm welcome and a glass of Champagne as you board the yacht. Once settled, you'll set sail from Lymington, gliding through the beautiful Solent waters. You'll have the option to get hands-on with the sailing, taking turns at the helm or trimming the sails, or simply unwind and soak in the views as the professional crew takes care of everything.
After a few hours of sailing, you'll anchor off the Isle of Wight. Here, you'll be treated to a freshly prepared two-course meal served on deck, while surrounded by beautiful coastal scenery. After your meal, take the chance to swim in the waters, or relax before continuing the journey.
The final leg of your trip offers more opportunities for leisurely sailing back towards Lymington. Whether you're keen to learn the ropes or prefer to lounge in comfort, this part of the day is as flexible as you wish.
Departing from Lymington in Hampshire, this trip provides easy access to one of the UK’s most popular sailing regions. Lymington marina is a central hub for leisure sailing, offering well-maintained facilities and a scenic setting on the edge of the New Forest. The calm, sheltered waters of the Solent make it ideal for guests of all abilities and ensure a comfortable day on board.
Along the route, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the Isle of Wight coastline, historic forts, and charming harbours. Wildlife sightings, from seabirds to occasional seals, add to the appeal, while the surrounding area of coastal villages and scenic towns enhances the journey to and from the marina.
No previous sailing experience or qualifications are required for this shared adventure.
