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.
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.
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.
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

The team was very friendly and efficient from the first contact through provision of specifications to handover. The boat was in good condition and the location at Hamble Point Marina is also great.

I was very impressed with the quality and spec of the boat. Considering her age and use she was in fantastic condition and sailed very well. Would definitely consider returning.
Friendly efficient service and immaculate yacht” I chartered a Hanse 345 over the May bank holiday. The yacht was in immaculate condition and the handover was very efficiently done. We did not waste any time with the details and all our questions on the yacht were answered on the boat. I would definitely use this team again for another charter. There was flexibility on the charter dates and overall it was fairly priced.
A great partner and I have used them 10+ times
