With the new season on the horizon, we’re pleased to share that our 2026 sailing calendar is now live.
Alongside private charters and relaxed days on the water, this year also brings something a little different, the opportunity to get involved in racing events and more structured sailing experiences.
For many, a day sailing in the Solent is about switching off and enjoying time with friends, family, or colleagues.
But for those looking for something a little more engaging, this season offers the chance to:
• Step into a new kind of sailing experience
• Be part of a crew working together
• Enjoy the energy and focus that comes with being on the start line
It’s still everything people love about being on the water — just with an added sense of purpose.
This year, we’re offering access to a range of organised events, including racing opportunities designed to be:
• Welcoming and inclusive
• Structured but enjoyable
• A great way to experience a different side of sailing
Whether you’re completely new to racing or simply curious to try something different, these events provide a refreshing change from a traditional charter day.
We’re also pleased to be working alongside Sailing Hounds on a number of events this season.
These dates bring together like-minded people looking to:
• Enjoy time on the water
• Take on a new challenge
• Be part of a wider sailing community
Of course, private charter remains at the heart of what we do.
If racing isn’t for you, or if you’d prefer something more tailored, we continue to offer:
• Fully skippered yacht charters
• Corporate sailing days
• Relaxed, bespoke experiences on the Solent
So whether you’re looking for a calm day cruising or a more dynamic experience, there’s something this season to suit.
With a full calendar now live, it’s the perfect time to explore what’s coming up and start planning your next day on the water.

We look forward to welcoming you on board.
Had a fantastic week chartering Blue Otter, Alex was incredibly helpful and sent loads of information and date checking prior to booking. There was a handover video and both the handover and return were really smooth. The boat was lovely and well maintained and Lee was really helpful in recommending places to visit (and helping identify the steering issue as an autopilot takeover - doh!). Definitely will be back and would fully recommend!
We had a great time and were very happy with everything. Your team were genuinely friendly and were very helpful when we needed it. Is a big contrast to many charter companies I have dealt with in the past.
Watching the sun go down with a glass of bubbly on the deck of a sparkling yacht was unbelievable. What a treat, and a much needed change of scenery in these troubled times. We will be back for sure
Fab service, nothing too much trouble, including my daft questions. I'll be a repeat customer for sure!
Chartered bareboats with HPYC on numerous occasions most recently in Sept 2020. Always helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend.
We had a great time sailing with Lee for a few days at the beginning of September. Hamble Point Yacht Charters supplied us an impeccable 45 ft Hanse yacht, which was handled with complete mastery by Captain Lee. It was a privilege to sail with Lee, who is clearly a highly skilled professional taking great pride in his work ... but who is also a fantastic character with a great sense of humour and plenty of fun stories to keep the whole family entertained. He balances the serious side of safety and learning about sailing with a whopping dose of Continue Reading
We had a fantastic weekend sailing on Loxley B. Boat in super condition and spotlessly clean, Alex. and the team very thorough and always on hand to answer any questions. A great experience. We will be back. Thank you!
Lots of information from office with a friendly service. We selected a one of the cheaper yachts and was please with find everything work and was cleaned and tidy. We will definitely be back
This was the first time we had tried chartering and as experienced racing sailors we didn't know what to expect. Covid has closed down all our events this year so this was a chance to get afloat at least once in 2020. What a great experience and Alex and all the Hamble staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. We had a great three days and we will be back !! We would have no hesitation is recommending Hamble Point Yacht Charters
Professional, efficient and friendly. The booking and admin process was straightforward, the handover was well organised and Covid compliant. Most importantly the boat, a Sun Odyssey 37 was in great condition and very well equipped. We will definitely use this company again.
From initial enquiry to handing the boat back, the service and attention to detail was fantastic. Very prompt service for the minor niggle we did have and with a wide selection of boats to charter, I'll certainly be back. One of the USPs of this business is they are right by the entrance to the Hamble so it's very quick to get out into the Solent compared to other marinas further up where it can take 30-40 mins or more just to reach Southampton water. Big thanks to Alex and the team, we had a great week on a very Continue Reading
One of the larger charter companies which means they have a large fleet and permanent office staff, a big plus. I chartered Loxley B (37ft Sun Odyssey). Boat was clean, well equipped, well maintained. Office staff was really friendly and efficient in answering questions quickly. Will use this company again.
A short email to say thank you to you and all your team for a fantastic yacht charter and for all your help with our booking at such short notice. Apaloosa is a lovely yacht and very well equipped. Hamble Point Marina is a great base to explore from – and my first time sailing from there, although my husband has been a few times. I would also like to praise our skipper, Dave. He was excellent company, very patient, great at explaining manoeuvres and very happy to involve the children so that they could learn too. Given the weather Continue Reading
Thanks to all again for a great charter and the effort taken to make the handover so efficient. Especially with the videos
First time using Hamble Point Yacht Charter and will definitely be back. Location, range of boats and value for money all excellent. The team was very friendly and efficient, and the boat we chartered (Blue) was in good condition and well equipped.
