Sample Itinaries

Here’s a map of the Solent area with the most popular destinations numbered.

• Option 1 – The Hut Our most popular trip – we cruise to The Hut(2), the very popular Caribbean/Ibiza like beach bar/restaurant in Colwell Bay, Isle of Wight with time at anchor before or after your meal for swimming , sun bathing or paddle boarding – this is normally at Hurst Castle/Keyhaven(3) or Totland Bay/Alum Bay (2) . Half an hour before your reservation, we anchor in front of The Hut and guests transfer to The Hut’s small RIB and get taken ashore for what most guests agree is a fantastic and memorable dining experience. The Hut is incredibly popular but Mike can often help get a table – ring him to discuss. Generally, they do sittings at 12noon , 3pm and 630pm. We do all of this within 2 hours of ERT
• Option 2 – Yarmouth As above but visiting Yarmouth Harbour(1) for lunch or supper in one of its many great restaurants including the recently refurbished George Hotel & Beach Club (again, this must be booked well in advance). That’s also just 2 hours of ERT.
• Option 3 – Newtown Creek Picnic – a cruise to the beautiful Newtown Creek(5) then a couple of hours anchored there to allow time for a picnic lunch, Paddle Boarding and Seal Watching followed by a quick blast to The Needles to see all the sights then vack to Lymington – again, that’s 2 hours of ERT.
• Option 4 – Cowes(6) or Bucklers Hard (8) for lunch then anchor for a swim in Newtown Creek – that’s 3 hours of ERT
