Solent Yacht Charter International, Gosport Marina, Hampshire
Yachts available for Private or Corporate Charter

Corporate Race Day

This day creates a perfect way to introduce your clients to the excitement of sailing an offshore yacht. A typical day will start with tea, coffee and biscuits onboard your yacht at Haslar Marina, followed by a full safety brief given by your qualified skipper prior to a basic introduction to sailing.

Soon after boarding your yacht you will be cruising out to sea preparing to set your sails heading for the Isle of Wight. The morning is spent practicing sailing manoeuvres and going through racing tactics, giving everybody a chance to try all aspects of handling an offshore yacht.

At the end of the morning's sailing all the yachts will raft up for lunch or go into one of the many picturesque ports that the Solent has to offer.

After lunch the yachts will race around a pre-set course giving the crews a chance to put into practice the skills that they have learned from the morning session. The day ends with a celebratory drink, and prize giving for the victorious crew, at the Portsmouth Harbour Yacht Club.

Solent Sailing Weekend

If Team Building and Race Days sound a bit too hectic for you, and your clients or staff then why not just take a yacht for the day, or better still a weekend, and cruise in luxury and style to some of the most picturesque ports and anchorages the South Coast has to offer.

Places such as Beaulieu, Yarmouth and Cowes are all within comfortable distances and boast many pubs and restaurants where you can wine and dine in comfort.

The weekend will start on Friday evening with a welcome drink and a short briefing before heading ashore for a meal.

In the morning full English breakfast will be followed by a safety briefing, and then you're underway. A delicious buffet lunch will be taken at anchor before the afternoon's sailing. The evening will be spent ashore with a meal and a well deserved drink.

The second day will follow much the same pattern as the first with meals on board and some exhilarating sailing where all the guests will have an opportunity to handle the yacht.

The weekend will be rounded off with a farewell glass of champagne at a time convenient to your journey home.
