Relax on a Solent yacht sailing trip and enjoy a delicious dinner

Sailing Experience Days: If you are looking for an exceptional experience gift for a friend who loves to hit the water - or you just fancy sharing a special evening that you'll never forget - then you can't beat this wonderful Solent yacht sailing experience, complete with a delicious dinner.


This superb sailing trip is a unique chance to spend some quality time aboard a beautiful, luxury yacht as you sail past some of Britain's most beautiful coastal regions. You will spoiled by the skipper and crew as soon as you climb aboard and receive a nice glass of bubbly, and the indulgence doesn't stop there! During this six hour sailing adventure you will be able to admire magnificent views of the Hampshire mainland, the sparkling blue waters of the Solent, Beaulieu or Hamble, and the Isle of Wight and their famous Needles. You will anchor off the Isle of Wight where you'll enjoy a sumptuous, freshly prepared two-course dinner on board the yacht, and if you're feeling up to it, you can also go for a refreshing dip in the sea! One of the best things about this trip is that you can make it as relaxing or as action packed as you like: if you've always wanted to learn how to sail then you can get involved and learn the ropes from the friendly crew; if you just fancy a peaceful evening on the water, then you're welcome to kick back, put your feet up, and enjoy the fabulous views, tasty food and fresh sea air. As the sun begins to set over the sea you will begin the sail back to the mainland - just don't forget your camera! Whether you are male or female, young or old, sailing novice or a yachtmaster, this fun sailing trip will please just about anyone.

So what are you waiting for? Enjoy a romantic evening and a delicious dinner aboard a stunning, modern yacht - or treat a lucky friend to a hugely enjoyable evening out on the sea that they will never forget. An absolutely unmissable experience...

It was bought to celebrate my husbands 70th birthday. He has major mobility problems but he was carefully helped on and off the boat and was made to feel as welcome as the rest of us. Overall we really enjoyed the experience and would do it again. Lovely group of people on board and friendly skipper and crew . We were disappointed that the tides didn’t allow us to go to the Needles, but Old Town Creek was really pretty and the water was lovely and warm for a swim. I have to be honest our real disappointment was the dinner. It was carefully prepared but sadly by the time I took a mouthful it was lukewarm and not pleasant in the mouth at all. I’m sorry I couldn’t eat it as I like hot food to be hot or deliberately cold in a salad.... And , as I don’t eat desserts I was rather hungry. Other members of the party were far more polite and ate it, but it wasn’t good . . A piece of french bread would have been welcome with it aswell. We also weren’t offered a tea or coffee., We would do the experience again or even an overnighter as we didn’t do the experience for the meal. I would take a packet of sandwiches, though, next time just in case !

Wonderful weather, very punctual and everything we hoped for. Booked this experience for my partners 70th birthday, it was so relaxing. The views were stunning, especially being able to get so close to the needles, which is where we anchored for dinner. On our return leg we had a gorgeous sunset, the weather held out for the entire trip, which was a bonus. Would recommend this trip, especially for a special celebration.
