Summer 2026 Bank Holidays: 3 Days for the Price of 2

 

If you’ve been thinking about getting out on the water this summer, these two long weekends are the perfect opportunity.

For Summer 2026, we’re offering 3 days for the price of 2 across both May and August bank holidays, giving you more time onboard, without the extra cost.

 

The offer

 

Enjoy an extended sailing weekend on the following dates:

 

Early May Bank Holiday
🗓 5pm Friday 1 May – 5pm Monday 4 May 2026

 

August Bank Holiday
🗓 5pm Friday 28 August – 5pm Monday 31 August 2026

 

That’s a full long weekend on the water, with an extra day included.

 

Why an extended weekend works so well

 

A standard weekend can feel short.

You arrive, get settled, and before you know it, it’s time to head back.

 

With an extra day, everything changes:

 

• More  time to relax into the trip

• More flexibility with where you go

• Less pressure to rush between stops

• A more enjoyable, unhurried return

 

It’s a simple difference, but one that makes the whole experience feel more worthwhile.

 

What you can do with the time

 

A three-day charter opens up more options across the Solent.

 

You might:

• Spend a night in Cowes or Yarmouth

• Head up the Beaulieu River for something quieter

• Anchor for lunch and take your time

• Explore further without feeling rushed

Another fantastic week!

Had another amazing week sailing thanks to HPYC. The team here are so friendly; Alex, Josh and Dave are a really credit to the business - nothing seems to much trouble and we shall definitely be visiting again next year. Here’s to hoping we have another mid 20’s heatwave.....please.

An amazing day!

We chartered a boat with Karen, at very ,very short notice after a previous company informed us that they had doubled booked and were cancelling us. Karen was amazing & did everything that she could to get us booked in and keeping us informed all the way. Well what a blessing the cancellation turned out to be. Our skipper Josh was open ,friendly, informative and fun! The weather was extremely hot and he had 7 (well behaved)women to contend with. The trip was for my little sisters hen day, as we all love a boat trip this was a 'must' Continue Reading

Amazing and so helfpul

We were let down extremely last minute by a chartering company for a hen do. With just 3 days till the big day I started getting a little panicked! I had no need to! I spoke to Karen in the office who was extremely helpful! She went away to see what she could do, not only did she come back with a skipper and a boat, she was also able to provide everything and more, that we were due to have on the original booking. She also beat the price! We went out on the southern comfort with josh who Continue Reading

Great day on the Solent with Hamble Point Charters

We chartered 2 boats which were both fantastic - skippers were relaxed and friendly and encouraged some of the more inexperienced among our group to have a go on helm, which resulted in a fantastic and participative day for all on board. We were blessed with perfect conditions for sailing, a truly amazing day on the water.

Dealing with Hamble Point Yacht Charters has been a great experience

Dealing with Hamble Point Yacht Charters has been a great experience. The whole team are very professional. We took 2 boats out onto the Solent with 24 clients to experience a day’s sailing. They had an exhilarating time and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The offices are conveniently located with ample parking. They are also situated very close to a restaurant who provide excellent crew meeting facilities with great tea, coffee and bacon rolls – I will be using Hamble Point Charters again

Great Training on Skipper skills course

Great training weekend where I could practice skills I learnt on my Day Skipper 3 years ago, but had not really practised since e.g. MOB under power & under sail, picking up a buoy under sail and mooring in various spaces and marinas. The instructor (John) was absolutely excellent. He was really knowledgeable and experienced and gave really clear explanations, both by drawing diagrams, demonstrations and talking us through what we were about to do. There was plenty of space on-board the yacht (38ft Bavaria) for three of us in total. Supplied food was fine and there was plenty of Continue Reading

Charted a 45ft / 10 berth yacht for a weekend sailing round the Solent

They are a professional company, my dealings with the office were very straightforward and they responded promptly to all my calls and e-mails. They had some last minute issues with the intended yacht, but they were able to arrange for a suitable replacement and everything was in good order when we arrived. The yacht itself was in excellent condition and sailed brilliantly.
