Highlights

Enjoy a glass of champagne as you set sail on your beautiful, large, comfortable and modern yacht. After a few hours of sailing on the Solent you anchor off the Isle of Wight for a delicious freshly prepared two-course meal, served on deck, and the opportunity for a swim! Afterwards there is more sailing as you head back to Lymington – getting involved as much as you wish – or just sitting back and relaxing! This is a great day out on your own, as a couple, or with a group of friends and family, clients and colleagues. If there are 8 or more people in your group you have an exclusive, private yacht to yourselves! What better way is there to celebrate a special occasion – a birthday, anniversary, stag or hen do, or even a wedding with a difference?

5A perfect day!
We had an excellent day. Paul (skipper) and Jocelyn (crew) could not have been more helpful or charming. The boat was ideal and we were so lucky with the weather. All round perfect day. Many many thanks.

5Great sail
Excellent experience. The skipper and his crewman could not do too much for us. The lunch was tasty. After lunch, a breeze got up and we reached a good rate of knots tacking back to Lymington. Exhilarating!

5Great day on the Solent
Great experience. Relaxing. We were fortunate with amazing weather. A 2 course simple lunch is included and they ask you to order your own bottle of wine from Solent Cellars (payable separately) which is then delivered to the yacht fridge. We were allowed to take the helm and stop off for a quick dip. Thoroughly recommend

5Perfect summer's day sail
Well we certainly picked a glorious day for lunch on the Solent. Everything ran smoothly once we arrived in Lymington, from the meet and greet with Alice to the fabulous crew, Gary & Jocelyn who made sure we were safe but also entertained us with great stories of life on the sea. You could learn as little or as much of the sailing as you wanted, take the wheel if you fancied. A delicious lunch was served in a perfect summer time spot! A great mid week escape from life's busyness. Definitely do again. Thanks to Escape Yachting for a fabulous day.

5Wonderful day sailing
Fantastic sailing to the Needles and dinner moored at Alum Bay to watch the eclipse. Thanks to Gary and Jocelyn for making our day absolutely perfect.

5Perfect Evening Sail
We had a wonderful evening sail and supper in the Solent on Propsero with David and Joselyn. The sailing was excellent, we were blessed with good weather and the food (and champagne) was fabulous. I would highly recommend and would definitely do it again. We even had the chance to have a swim when we were anchored.

About Southampton

Southampton is a historic port on England's south coast, with medieval walls, Titanic history and the New Forest and the Isle of Wight close by.

Southampton lies at the head of Southampton Water, a deep sheltered inlet that has made it one of England's great ports for centuries. Stretches of the medieval town wall survive, along with the Bargate, a gateway that once marked the northern entrance, and Tudor House and Garden occupies a medieval merchant's house. The Titanic sailed from here in 1912, a story told in the SeaCity Museum, and the Mayflower set out from the port in 1620.

Top-ranked sights in Southampton: Highclere Castle, Beaulieu National Motor Museum.
