Solent Day Sailing Experience
Solent Boat Charters runs Solent Day Sailings from our Southampton marina base. These are run on our 37ft, 38ft and 51ft yachts and are perfect for the busy waters of the Solent.
Our Bavaria 51ft yacht called "In Rainbows" out of Shamrock Quay in Southampton offers a different type of day, where you can enjoy the sights and bustling waters of Southampton and the Solent.
Full waterproofs & life jackets are always provided, so just come in sensible footwear and we will do the rest. Tea, coffee and soft drinks are always included, but you will need to bring along your own lunch.
Your Professional Skipper will take you on a tour of the Solent on one of our Bavaria yachts. The skipper will help you to be as active as you wish, allowing you to get involved in the sailing of the yacht. We encourage everyone to get involved, but if you would rather sit back and just enjoy the view, then that`s fine also.
Many of our guests use these days to sharpen their skills or introduce friends to the world of sailing. We list these days on our training calendar, but they are very simple sailing days, not a formal course and open to all.
Age limit of 18 plus (12 - 17 years old are allowed with an accompanying adult).
