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 a quick one to say thanks for all your help over last couple of years which has been leading up to me getting my Yachtmaster Offshore award. First rate service both on the sailing school and chartering side.
Looking forward to taking more boats out and going on other sailing ventures with you guys next year!
Finally, just to say that the examiner was outstanding as an Examiner. Really friendly chap and really wanted me to pass. Would also help in giving tuition about alternative ways of doing things after I had completed a manoeuvre.
August 2019. We had an excellent sailing trip around the Solent, staying at a different mooring each day, sometimes in marinas, sometimes on mooring buoys. Hamble Point Yacht Charters was a perfect choice for us. Their location at the mouth of the Hamble river is absolutely ideal, giving immediate access to the central part of the Solent. The company is super efficient and very friendly, and they provided an outstanding service. The boat was in good condition, clean and eveything working. We have chartered with them a couple of times now and we will be back!
Just returned from a 1 week bareboat charter of Aeolus. The service through researching the options in October, where I popped in whilst in the area to view available boats, through the booking process and the charter itself was great. This particular boat may not be the newest on the water but is maintained to a high standard and allowed us a wonderful week crossing the channel to Fecamp and Honfleur before returning for a couple of days in the Solent. Nothing was too much trouble for HPYC and as a regular charterer around the UK and Europe the efficiency and quality of service delivered is appreciated, especially confirmation of the return of the security deposit emailed to me before I got home.
We sailed overnight to Alderney onboard Abraxas, which is a First 40.7. Initially in strong winds we made excellent progress and for the last couple of hours motored in no wind. This boat is good for passage making if you have an experienced crew happy to handle the large main sail.
Friendly welcome. All staff helpful. Relaxed atmosphere. Instructors gave clear explanations of safety equipment and how to perform tasks expected of crew. Very tolerant of mistakes made. Encouraged us to be more independent as the week went by to help build our confidence. Berthed in a number of different marinas each presenting different issues to consider when berthing. The whole experience was most enjoyable and I feel able to crew for other skippers. Excellent value.
The boat and equipment was in good order. We learnt a huge amount in a friendly and fun environment. I wouldn't hesitate to use HPYC for training or charters in the future.
We had a great charter of the yacht Appaloosa from HPYC. The boat was very clean when we boarded her, and was ready for us to board at the agreed time. The staff were very helpful and helped us straight away with any queries.....and my security deposit return was confirmed very quickly. I will definitely consider chartering from HPYC again!
When asked what they thought of HPYC and the day we provided for them: "Excellent"! Everything, as always, was excellent!
5 day solent area charter. HPYC were welcoming, professional, flexible and cheerful. We feel you may book here with confidence then relax and trust that all will be as you would wish.
Nice boat in fantastic condition even if it was quite old (2003). We enjoyed sailing in the Solent and the tips issued by Hamble Point Yacht Charters. We will come back.
I chartered a 32 ft with Hamble Point Yacht Charters for a weekend with a friend. the boat was good and Hamble point location is great to get out in the Solent quickly and and for a beer in Hamble at night. Staff at Hamble point Charter was very pro and friendly
The team had a great time on the boat. The staff were fantastic and very welcoming throughout the day. The mid-afternoon stop was also a welcome & pleasant surprise. The jet skis were fantastic, the food & drink were great too. We will most likely be coming again soon.
The yacht was in perfect condition. Josh made a great ship handover. Unfortunately, the modern yachts are no longer designed to be seaworthy. The self-tacking jib cannot be trimmed properly. But otherwise we had a great week. My crew was eager to learn and could take home many valuable experiences. I love the Solent and I'll definitely be back.
