The Solent is a fantastic place to sail. One could say the Solent stretches from Portsmouth and the forts just south of Portsmouth to the start of the Needles Channel. Within this area there are numerous places to pull into port and explore, each with something different to offer. Two big ports, charming market towns, the bustling Hamble River, the beautiful Bucklers Hard up the Beaulieu River in the heart of the New Forest, anchorages positioned to let you watch the world go by. They are all within a stone's throw (short sail) of each other meaning you can visit several South Coast locations during your charter, making it popular for a day, a yacht weekend or a week. Due to the popularity of sailing on the Solent, many people are searching online for terms such as yacht hire Solent , yacht rental Solent , boat hire Solent , boat rental Solent , and, if you're local, yacht charter near me . There is also a huge variety of craft in the Solent. It is not uncommon to see high performance racing yachts in Cowes, oil tankers, fishing boats, day boats, sailing school boats, round the world luxury cruising yachts, round the world racing yachts, old gaffers, classic keel boats, kite surfers, windsurfers, big expensive power boats, smaller expensive power boats, sailing dinghies in Gosport, ribs of all shapes and sizes, cruise ships, a hoover craft and high speed ferries. All within a day. Yet the Solent does still offer peaceful hideaways to get away from it all. There are few real physical obstructions to boats within the Solent. There is the odd ledge There is the Bramble Bank just to the north and east of Cowes but that is about it. There is a shipping channel one must be aware off and local bylaws that one needs to adhere to. Solent tides are interesting, and it is necessary to have a good awareness of what the tide is doing at all times. Due to the shape of the land and the Isle of Wight the Solent gets 'double highs'. Just beyond the Solent on the South coast there is Poole and Weymouth to the west, Bembridge, Langstone and Chichester Harbours to the East.

Fantastic days sailing with friends on a wonderful boat. It certainly helped that we had 3 very experienced sailors with us, would highly recommend Firstaway sailing if you want a day on the water in the Solent. - Clive B
Thanks Sally and Eric for great service and a brilliant day with Firstaway Yacht Charters. Excellent first experience of sailing. Skipper Eric was great and let us all take a turn at the helm. A great way to celebrate special occasions. Boat was clean and well maintained with good facilities too. Would recommend Firstaway to anyone wanting to take a trip sailing. - R & A Jenner
We were 7 onboard this Jeanneau 12.5 m and while there wasn't much wind, with what little there was we managed 7 kts. Cascadeur is a great charter boat - roomy, clean, well equipped. Eric and Sally were very helpful and clearly know their stuff. - Peter R
Wonderful people. Sally in particular couldn't have been more helpful. The skippers were professional and experienced, but also good fun and made the whole experience very enjoyable. Thanks all! - Sam N
Excellent company, with a very well appointed boat (Zara). Nothing was a problem to them, despite me chopping and changing a lot. Our skipper - Gavin - was fantastic. Knowledgable, friendly and great company. I would certainly use this company again. - ASQC

Hiring from Lymington and Hamble gives you access to a great many renowned south coast yachting destinations. Spectacular scenery can be found at Alum Bay and the Needles lighthouse at the far western end of the Isle of Wight. The Lymington and Beaulieu rivers are navigable up to the quays and marinas. Creeks such as Newtown and Wootten provide idyllic locations where you can drop anchor for drinks. Cowes has the Medina River and the Folly Inn. Osborne Bay is another great anchorage giving views of Osborne House. A trip to the west allows the magnificent Jurassic coastline of Dorset and the beautiful beach at Studland to be in reach of a day return sail. Whilst there pop into Poole Harbour, the worlds second largest. Pick up a mooring buoy and row over in the inflatable to Brownsea Island, home to red squirrels.
This is an award winning 5 star marina with brand new top of the range showers both in the main building and close to the yachts. Celebrity bar with outdoor sun terrace over looking the marina basin provides a great venue to start and end your charter. Located right on the Edge of the New Forest National Park which you will pass through on your way to us. A 20 minute trip down river sees you out into the Solent with the Isle of Wight a short sail away.
Walk into the the famous old yachting village of Hamble where you will find atmospheric pubs and great food. The marina has all the facilities you will need. Very short trip to the mouth of the river finds you in Southampton Water with the Solent only a short distance further. Ideally located for a day sail to Portsmouth to the east or Yarmouth to the west with Cowes a short sail cross tide to the south.
Yachts with up to 12 berths. Only Day Skipper certificate required for Solent charter (*conditions apply) Here are the bareboat charter yachts with a link to the more detailed desktop site with prices.
A stag or hen weekend provides two days on a sailing yacht visiting various bars, bays and restaurants in the Solent with two nights on board. Full details can be found on the stag party sailing website with a link to the more detailed desktop site with prices.
Corporate hospitality and entertainment, branding and team building are ideally achieved on sailing yachts and we have many past customers who have added to our reviews page. Further details are on the Corporate Events website with a link to the more detailed desktop site with prices.
Sailing is a great way to celebrate a milestone birthday, usually 40th, 50th, 60th or 70th. We can take up to 13 people on the sailing yachts or 10 on the motor yachts. A sample of what is on offer can be found on the 50th birthday charter website with a link to the more detailed desktop site with prices.
Skippers are selected based on their ability to entertain and educate and ensure you have a fun time on the water. They all know the waters extremely well and will choose an itinerary with you to get the best out of the day. Skippered yacht charter details here with a link to the desktop site with prices.
Berthing is one of the things that worries new potential skippers and indeed there is plenty of scope for damage especially when the wind is up. But there are techniques to minimise the risk and give you confidence. We will show you how to handle berthing both on the leeward and windward side of pontoons, rafting up against other yachts, and how to berth in a gap just slightly longer than your yacht with the tide running strongly.
Sailing works wonderfully with team building objectives especially when in race mode. Winning depends on each team member fullfilling his or her task correctly each time. Further Team Building details here with a link to the more detailed desktop site with prices.
The Round the Island Race with approximately 1800 yachts takes place in late June. Cowes Week occurs first week in August.

Race participation website with a link to the more detailed desktop site with prices.
You need 800 logged sea miles for the Coastal Skipper Certificate of Competence or 2500 for Yachtmaster Offshore. We can generally maintain 6 or 7 knots under sail so provided we travel with the tide and take the distance from the GPS (distance travelled over the sea bed) rather than the log (distance travelled through the water), we can achieve up to 100 nautical miles in a day.
You may have your own yacht and have a longing to cross the Channel for the first time but want to experience the crossing on a skippered boat first. The crossing from the Needles to Alderney is 60 nautical miles and we usually do this in around 9 hours, arriving in time for an evening ashore before returning the following day. But we can also carry on down to Guernsey, a further 4 to 5 hours. Sark and Herm are close by, enchanting islands. Jersey is a few more hours further south and we have visited all of these island in a five day charter.
Holidays such as Briish Virgin Islands flotillas often require some pre joining experience as a condition of booking. We can provide the one or two days required and provide you with a RYA training logbook certifying the hours and sea miles gained.

A fantastic weekend of sailing, almost 130 NM in all, with a relaxed, but fully engaging skipper. Great set up and brilliant on the admin. Thanks Stef, Tom et al!
I did a weeks coastal skipper course getting ready for my yacht master and I have to say it was one of the best training weeks I’ve had - our training instructor was superb, exactly the sort of person that you want. He could inspire, provide discipline and impart knowledge as well as let you learn through your own mistakes. Tom and Steph run an excellent operation there and I highly recommend it. They’re flexible and very helpful when it comes to your journey into being a qualified sailor.

The Solent is the home of sailing, and an epic and historic place to sail - the boats built and sailed from here through the years have had a profound impact on the world – from Sir Francis Drake embarking on conquests, Lord Nelson’s war galleons, to the Titanic (which began her maiden voyage here) and the D-day landings (and much more). Now it is home to the world’s most important Sailing Regatta (Cowes), and the world’s most famous sailing race (Round the Island).
The Solent offers a range of in-land and coastal sailing, with plenty of interesting and historic places to sail to and explore – like Cowes, Beaulieu, Chichester and Yarmouth – and you’ll often be surrounded by magnificent cliffs, amazing beaches and lush rolling green hills. Coupled with reliable winds, predominant sunshine, and pleasant temperatures during the sailing season, the Solent is a fantastic place to charter a yacht!

Suggested sailing itinerary, wind & weather conditions, marina details, sample prices - solent sailing itinerary - wind & weather - marina details, 6-day sailing itinerary in the solent.
The Solent is an intriguing place to sail, with dramatic cliffs, fantastic beaches and idyllic towns and villages, all steeped in centuries of nautical history. Throw in brilliant sailing conditions, lots of yachts in the giant marinas in the area, and you can see why they call this the home of sailing - plus practically everyone knows about sailing.
It’s only a six-day itinerary because the odds are that you’ll be busy getting provisions and getting familiar with the boat on the Friday you arrive, and you have to return to the home marina on the Thursday - but you can stay on board for a final night, before disembarking on Friday morning. This itinerary starts in our main marina base of Lymington, but you can obviously also start or end in Hamble (or substitute Hamble for Gosport) and sail the same circular route.
Today we’re just making a short hop to Hamble-le-rice, or Hamble as it’s better known, which is a short run with the prevailing west-south-westerly summer wind away. Being a short leg means you can get familiar with the boat and give everyone a chance to take the helm - with an optional man overboard drill to act as a useful refresher.
Hamble is actually technically inland, and you sail up the river Hamble to take your pick from one of a number of well-protected marinas. The whole area will be bustling with sailors, and Hamble is a picturesque village with olde style English houses with thatched rooves and cobbled streets. There’s plenty of great places to eat and drink here (many with beautiful settings by the waterside). Sailors have been stopping here for literally hundreds of years, so I am sure the buildings could share a tale or two.
From Hamble, we’re heading back out to the English Channel (incidentally, the French just call it La Manche or ‘the Channel’) before tacking to port and following the prevailing wind east and along the south coast. Chichester is back inland, so you’ll need to sail north past West Wittering village, and up the Ichenor reach to get to Chichester marina – a natural marina which, with space for over 1,000 berths, is also the biggest in England. Chichester is about a 5km walk away, or a ten-minute taxi ride, but there are beaches nearby if you prefer to relax.
If you have time, and you’re interested, then you can take lunch in Gosport (Portsmouth) on the way where there’s multiple maritime museums. At the very least, it’s worth sailing into the area to have a close look at HMS Discovery (which was the famous English Naval General Lord Horatio Nelson’s very own boat in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 – which he won) or the Mary Rose (Henry VIII’s boat), which was sunk by the French in the Solent in 1545 (and retrieved in 1982).
To get to Cowes, we need to sail south and out of the Chichester harbour area (an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ and home to many seals) before tacking into the prevailing summer winds. The land on your nose is the Isle of Wight, and Cowes is on the northern tip of this diamond-shaped rock.
To get to a mooring in Cowes you’ll need to get past the Cowes ‘floating bridge’ – a ferry service across the River Medina which has been in operation since 1720, and links the two sides of the village without the need for a 10 mile round-trip. It started as rowing boats, but is now a chain ferry which can also accommodate 20 or so cars. Cowes is a place any sailor will find interesting, and it has some of the finest seafood you’ll ever find.
From Cowes, we’re crossing the Solent (which is actually the name for the bit of water between England and the Isle of Wight) and sailing inland to visit Beaulieu. Beau Lieu is French for ‘Beautiful place’ and the Abbey and estate here certainly are! You’ll need to moor at Bucklers Hard (an idyllic Georgian village which was also a place where they built ships – including three war galleons which were involved in the Battle of Trafalgar) and then stroll to the village and its wonderful Palace house from there.
Then we’re back down the river and over the Solent again to Yarmouth, another pretty and nautical-obsessed town on the Isle of Wight.
It’s made more complicated still by the wreck of the SS Varvassi (which ran aground here in 1947 when it was carrying a load of tangerines from Algiers to Southampton) – all 1,800 boats are aiming to squeeze through the 60m gap between the lighthouse and the wreck, but a fair number each year end the race here.
To get there for a closer look, we need to sail into the Solent then head west, tacking up the prevailing wind as we follow the magnificent coastline. Make the turn if you have the time, before setting a course pretty much due west for Poole, back on the UK mainland. Poole is a natural harbour area, and there is a vast amount of water ‘inland’ behind the gap in the coastline. The largest island in here is Brownsea Island, which is where the first ever Scout camp took place in 1907 – Scouting began as a small camp here for young teenage boys and the organisation now spans 216 countries and has over 50 million members!
It will be hard not to spot Bournemouth beach on your port side, which is the UK’s longest beach, and one of the best – there’s over seven miles of delightful sandy beach, and over five million people visit it each year. They say the water is warmer here, so it might be worth throwing down the anchor for a quick dip if you haven’t yet done so this week.
You’ll sail past Hurst castle as you re-enter the Solent (built by Henry VIII to protect the Solent) which, for a number of years, housed the most powerful guns or weapons in the world! And then it’s back to the marina. Don’t forget to refill the fuel tanks before mooring her up one last time. You’ll be able to stay on-board tonight, so there is still time to check out Lymington and have one last night with the crew before you head back to the real world.
Hopefully the weather has been kind to you, you’ve enjoyed exploring the beautiful Solent, and you’re leaving with better friends than you arrived with. You might already have decided as a crew to come again next year, or maybe you fancy sailing somewhere new? In either case, head to PlainSailing.com to get some inspiration about places to sail from and to read the destination guides. Have a safe journey home, and we look forward to seeing you soon.
In the Solent the wind is at a steady Force 4 throughout the year, and it arrives almost always from a South-westerly direction, having raced right across the Atlantic before arriving on your sails. Whilst there are occasions where other weather systems will affect the wind conditions (notably when high or low pressures are above the Solent), these usually pass within a couple of days.
The added challenge of sailing out here is that you have to factor in the effect that tides will have on your course and speed over ground, and, in some cases whether you can enter or leave a harbour – so be sure to consider tides as well as checking the wind forecast.
We operate from a number of marinas in the Solent area - Hamble, Gosport and Lymington are all within 20 to 40 minutes drive of the local Southampton airport, or within a 2 hour drive from London airports, and are all fantastic jumping off points for exploring the area.
Charters typically start on a Friday, so if your flights don't quite match, you might need somewhere to stay on-land for a night or two - we recommend Landfall B&B or Royal Southern Yacht Club in Hamble, Spring Garden Guest House in Gosport, or The Bosun's Chair in Lymington.

Sadly we don't currently have live availability and pricing for English yachts, but we'll do our best to get you the yacht you want - if you have any other questions or requests, get in touch via Live Chat, the Contact Form , or by phone.

Our charter choices for the solent, bareboat yacht charter.
Bareboat Yacht Charters are where you take full responsibility for the yacht and the crew onboard, with the freedom to explore the sailing area as you wish. We naturally expect a level of experience suitable for the size of yacht and the expected conditions for your chosen sailing area. Depending on the sailing area (Solent or cross channel etc) we will either ask for evidence by way of a sailing CV or for any formal qualification such as an ICC.
Ensure you are comfortable with your experience as operating outside of your comfort zone is likely to end in tears. Know your own limits and don’t forget the limits of your crew !!!
This takes away the responsibility in that you have a the services of a skipper. This is a great way if you are new to sailing, exploring an unfamiliar area or just simply want to enjoy chartering a yacht without any of the responsibility or worry.
A skippered yacht charter is popular in the UK for day charters which may be being used for hospitality or entertainment as it allows the host to focus.
If you are in a new area then using a skipper can show you some of the best spots. Remember you don’t have to have the skipper onboard for the whole time, may be just for a few days at the beginning.
We run these throughout the year, so you can enjoy a stunning day out yacht sailing on Hampshire’s South Coast.
Aimed at anyone simply wanting a fun day out on the water.
There is no need to know how to sail as we will provide one of our experienced skippers and you can get involved as much or as little as you like.
Come on your own or with a group of friends.
You are welcome to bring your own lunch or book one of our delicious packed lunches. Tea, coffee and water will be provided onboard.

“This is our second charter with Waypoints and we could not be more satisfied. Availability and pricing were clear, communication was prompt, and the staff was knowledgeable and nice. The Vinoy Marina is very convenient to a couple of airports so the crew had no problem coming in from all over the country.
