Managed Yacht Charter
Managed Yacht Charter
Have you considered earning an income from your yacht when you are not using her? Chartering your yacht is one of the most popular ways of generating additional income to offset the running costs – resulting in free sailing for you.
Best UK Charter Location
Hamble, based on the South Coast between Southampton and Portsmouth, provides easy sailing access to the Solent, one of the most popular sailing areas in the world for leisure sailors and corporate events alike.
Hamble Point Yacht Charters are well known for the quality of our customer service and yacht maintenance (See our 5-star Trip Advisor reviews). We are based at Hamble Point Marina, which is not only based in the picturesque village of Hamble, but is also the closest marina to the Central Solent, offering a fantastic charter potential for you.
The Smarter Charter Yacht Owner
Hamble Point Yacht Charters do not apply our branding to your boat, so you can still enjoy sailing her without feeling any diminished sense of ownership.
We also do not impose limits on owner usage so you can still access your own yacht whenever you want to (on our standard charter management programme). We can simply add your yacht to our charter fleet for as many or as few weeks as you choose. Obviously, the more dates she is available, the greater your charter income potential is.
What’s Included?
You benefit from Hamble Point Yacht Charters experienced yacht charter management team who will:
- Advertise and promote your yacht via our established website, database and at boat-shows for charter in the UKs premier sailing area
- Manage charter enquiries, vet potential charterers, take bookings, process payments, arrange handovers and conduct post-charter checkbacks
- Manage your availability calendar to ensure charters are only accepted on dates you have agreed to
- Pay you a percentage of received charter income, on a monthly basis
Choice of Charter Packages
We offer two different managed yacht charter packages, to suit different owner needs:
- Standard Managed Yacht Charter – You have unlimited use of your own yacht and receive 60% share of the charter income.
- Subscription Managed Yacht Charter – You pay a monthly fixed fee which, in addition to the charter income, covers ALL the maintenance bills and running costs for your yacht including berthing and insurance. We even take the hit on any surprise bills – making this an incredibly good value option with significantly lower financial risk. (This option is only available to yachts less than 3 years old).

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Just back from a lovely week in the Solent. Great service from HPYC from first inquiry through to return handover. Very straightforward to deal with, and the yacht was in excellent condition. We've chartered from many companies in the UK and abroad and the attention to detail (and flawless inventory!) was second to none. Everything about the yacht and equipment had clearly been well looked after and was in immaculate condition. Great service, will use again.
Always very friendly service, and well-maintained yachts. Easy check-in and checkout. Will be back...
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!
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 amusement and good cheer. We sailed the Solent in some decent seas, visited Bucklers Hard on the banks of the Beaulieu River and learned lots about British nautical history. Our boys started somewhat of a fishing trend catching bass off the back of the boat in Portsmouth and we would love to sail with Lee again in the future.The man truly knows his stuff, maintained the boat impeccably and went to every effort to ensure that we had a great time. Many thanks to “Shippers” and Hamble Point Charters. We’ll be back.
Chartered bareboats with HPYC on numerous occasions most recently in Sept 2020. Always helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend.
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.
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 well kept boat
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.
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 conditions and our rusty knowledge, it was very reassuring to have him with us. Dave was very happy to impart his knowledge and he ensured we made the most of our short charter. We would definitely request him again!
So, thank you once again, it was great fun, and have a good weekend.
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.
Thanks to all again for a great charter and the effort taken to make the handover so efficient. Especially with the videos
