Itinerary
We’ll all have that Friday feeling, knowing we’re about to spend the weekend at sea! You can meet us anytime after 7:00pm at Port Hamble Marina ready for sunset drinks – if the UK weather permits and dinner in the marina. Friday night is purely about getting to know the crew and socialising – we don’t set off until Saturday morning.
Starting the day sailing the Solent past the stunning Isle of Wight, we’ll be sandwiched between the Hamstead Heritage Coast on the Isle of Wight on the port side and the North Solent nature reserve on the starboard side – truly a feast for the eyes! As we get into the open, keep a look out for seals and dolphins and if you’re lucky we might spot the occasional basking shark! We’ll spend the night anchored in the stunning Studland Bay just adjacent to Sandbanks in Poole. A beach BBQ is planned here and some swimming in the shallows of the bay.
On Sunday morning we’ll sail along from Studland Bay passing the impressive Old Harry’s rocks and visit Durdle Door arch before returning to anchor in the horseshoe shaped bay of Lulworth cove – one of the most impressive rock formations in the UK. Getting up close to the coastline and this striking scenery with a Gin & Tonic in hand is a seriously unforgettable experience. We’ll explore the stunning Lulworth Cove before settling on the sand for a beach party – yes you don’t have to be in the med to have a beach party! We will set sail back down the most popular sailing grounds in the UK – the Solent – arriving back at Port Hamble ~ 5 pm.
Getting There And Away
Driving from London to get to Port Hamble takes 1 hour 55 minutes or train is 1 hour 59 minutes from London Waterloo to Hamble station. From the station you can get a taxi to the marina, it’s just a 5 minute taxi ride.
There will be a number of people driving down, so get in contact with us and we’ll partner you up with someone if you would like a lift.
