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 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.
I was a bit apprehensive about doing my competent crew course .... I’m normally a feet firmly on dry land kinda girl but my trip thoroughly exceeded expectations! I went alone on an all women crew & quickly realised you are never alone on a boat.... we bonded very quickly over a refreshment the first night! I was kitted out with wellies & waterproof clothing & beds on board were chosen... surprisingly comfortable. I was amazed at the quality of food we ate ... proper full English breakfast to set us up the first morning .... which was a blessing in the wet & wind! Alex, our yatchmaster put us all at ease talking us through the course. I hadn’t realised we would moor beside such good showers every night altho I admit I didn’t shower every day ! 🤣 I learnt so much on the course, weather, wind, knots, helming, tacking, mooring! We dealt with fog, anchor chains, going up the mast (not normal!), man overboard (not literally!) & all the time Alex was very clear, professional & super friendly always encouraging us along the way. I can’t recommend Hamble point sailing enough, and a trip to the Isle of Wight.... I hadn’t realised how beautiful it was!
Thank you all for the well prepared Aeolus. Hope to charter her again next Spring and probably this autumn.
Hassle-free check-in with adjacent free parking about 50m from the boat so we could start enjoying our accommodation-only 2 night stay. Marina facilities are excellent, the location ultra-quiet at night, the boat was spotless, and essential start-up supplies helpful. We lucked out on weather with sun and shorts at the end of March by the Solent for the weekend. I highly recommend Alex and her boats for a stay on the water.
