Solent Yacht Charter has a great range of boats for you to charter in 2024, take a look at our bareboat charter fleet. Pick from the fabulous  Beneteau 31 above packed with features to our 39ft Bavaria Summer Breeze and many in between.  Solent Yacht Charter, established for 28 years,   provides Bareboat, Corporate and Skippered Yacht Charter based in Haslar Marina, Portsmouth Harbour.

The Solent is one of the most famous sailing areas in the world and offers many options for beautiful sailing destinations both on the South Coast mainland and the Isle of Wight. This fabulous sailing area not only has a unique collection of beautiful harbours and bays to explore but also offers interesting sailing challenges to suit both beginners and the most seasoned of sailors.  And, with a busy racing and events programme you have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the premier sailing scene.

Popular cruising destinations include the yachting capital of the UK – Cowes on the River Medina,  the famous River Hamble, the idyllic Beaulieu River, and many more. Some of our charterers prefer to head East, to the less busy Langstone and Chichester Harbours, or why not take an extended break and cruise to Poole or Dartmouth?  No waiting for the tidal gate at The Needles if you are looking to go even further across The Channel to France or the Channel Islands, just sail out of Portsmouth Harbour and head south round the back of the Isle of Wight.

With our knowledge and experience, we can help you match the best boat and itinerary to your perfect sailing adventure!  You can be assured to experience a friendly, honest and fun approach to boating!

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

This is truly a 5 * service. The team really looked after us both ashore on arrival and also while at sea. We were a relatively inexperienced crew but always felt the team ashore had our backs. Thoroughly recommended.

I just wanted to say Thank-you very much for the weekend charter. It was exactly what we were after (albeit cold!) plus Andy was an awesome teacher and great company. We’ll definitely be keen to book again soon!

We had a fabulous four days. Marina is ideally placed for the Solent, boat was in great condition, well equipped and a joy to sail. We were well briefed and the shore side team including the dog very friendly.

We charted one of the sailing yachts for a fantastic weekend cruise in the Solent. The boat was in superb condition and well equipped, the staff was very helpful explaining how things work on the yacht and there was also a video available with all the important information. 10/10 would recommend!

Had a fantastic week chartering Blue Otter, Alex was incredibly helpful and sent loads of information and date checking prior to booking. There was a handover video and both the handover and return were really smooth. The boat was lovely and well maintained and Lee was really helpful in recommending places to visit (and helping identify the steering issue as an autopilot takeover - doh!). Definitely will be back and would fully recommend!

Just back from a lovely week in the Solent. Great service from HPYC from first inquiry through to return handover. Very straightforward to deal with, and the yacht was in excellent condition. We've chartered from many companies in the UK and abroad and the attention to detail (and flawless inventory!) was second to none. Everything about the yacht and equipment had clearly been well looked after and was in immaculate condition. Great service, will use again.

Always very friendly service, and well-maintained yachts. Easy check-in and checkout. Will be back... 

We had a great time and were very happy with everything. Your team were genuinely friendly and were very helpful when we needed it. Is a big contrast to many charter companies I have dealt with in the past.

Watching the sun go down with a glass of bubbly on the deck of a sparkling yacht was unbelievable. What a treat, and a much needed change of scenery in these troubled times. We will be back for sure

Fab service, nothing too much trouble, including my daft questions. I'll be a repeat customer for sure!

We had a great time sailing with Lee for a few days at the beginning of September. Hamble Point Yacht Charters supplied us an impeccable 45 ft Hanse yacht, which was handled with complete mastery by Captain Lee.It was a privilege to sail with Lee, who is clearly a highly skilled professional taking great pride in his work ... but who is also a fantastic character with a great sense of humour and plenty of fun stories to keep the whole family entertained. He balances the serious side of safety and learning about sailing with a whopping dose of amusement and good cheer. We sailed the Solent in some decent seas, visited Bucklers Hard on the banks of the Beaulieu River and learned lots about British nautical history. Our boys started somewhat of a fishing trend catching bass off the back of the boat in Portsmouth and we would love to sail with Lee again in the future.The man truly knows his stuff, maintained the boat impeccably and went to every effort to ensure that we had a great time. Many thanks to “Shippers” and Hamble Point Charters. We’ll be back.

Chartered bareboats with HPYC on numerous occasions most recently in Sept 2020. Always helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic weekend sailing on Loxley B. Boat in super condition and spotlessly clean, Alex. and the team very thorough and always on hand to answer any questions. A great experience. We will be back. Thank you!

Lots of information from office with a friendly service. We selected a one of the cheaper yachts and was please with find everything work and was cleaned and tidy. We will definitely be back

This was the first time we had tried chartering and as experienced racing sailors we didn't know what to expect. Covid has closed down all our events this year so this was a chance to get afloat at least once in 2020. What a great experience and Alex and all the Hamble staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. We had a great three days and we will be back !! We would have no hesitation is recommending Hamble Point Yacht Charters.

Portsmouth | Maritime History and Coastal Luxury

Portsmouth is a New Hampshire port city on the Piscataqua River, and Portsmouth is the only port in the state. Known for tax-free shopping, waterfront views, and historical sites, the city of Portsmouth sits just 60 miles north of Boston.

Portsmouth New Hampshire

This could be one of your ports when sailing north to Maine or south from Maine to Newport or Boston. The Piscataqua River separates New Hampshire from Maine. The final stretch of the Piscataqua River near Portsmouth Harbor is a swift tidal estuary. It is among the fastest in North America.

A Brief Historical Overview

Portsmouth has a captivating history dating back to 1623, when it was first settled. As one of the oldest towns in the United States, it boasts a wealth of historical sites and architectural gems. The town played a significant role in the American Revolution. It served as a bustling seaport during the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, you can wander the historic district and soak up the well-preserved colonial charm.

In Portsmouth, the summers are warm, and the winters are freezing, wet, and windy. It is partly cloudy year-round. Over the year, the temperature typically varies from 19°F to 80°F. It is rarely below 5°F or above 89°F.

Located on the west bank of the River Medina just minutes from the Solent. There are numerous shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes in the quaint pedestrianised high Street. Located 9 nautical miles from Portsmouth Harbour it has to be top of the list for a day or weekend trip.

1 Harbour View, The Duver, Ryde, Isle of Wight PO33 1YB, UK

Entrance to Bembridge Harbour is not only tide dependant but requires careful following of bouys to avoid running aground. If visiting for lunch you need to make sure high water is around about then! Once there though it is sheltered. There are a rich variety of shops, restaurants and pubs in two nearby villages within walking distance. Bembridge Windmil is the only remaining windmill on the island dating from around 1700 and is generally open between April and October.

Studland Bay

Studland Bay, United Kingdom

A visit to Studland Bay normally entails an overnight stay when travelling from Gosport. Once there the bay offers good anchoring and protection from westerlies. The 4km bay has beautiful sandy beaches that get busy in the summer. The Bankes Arms Country Inn is a short walk from the bay and offers spectacular views towards the Isle of Wight.

Poole Harbour

Poole Harbour is one of the largest natural harbours in Europe covering approximately 36 sq kilometres. There are several islands the largest and most famous being Brownsea. Regular boat trips leave from Town Quay in Poole Town to visit it. There are several marinas allowing you direct access into Poole Town.

Gunwharf Quays

Gunwharf Quays, United Kingdom

Just across the harbour from Haslar Marina. Can be reached by the frequently running Gosport Ferry. Famous for its Outlet shops as well as it numerous restaurants and cafes along with it's multi-screen cinema. While there take a trip up the Spinnaker Tower for some breathtaking views across the Solent. Close by is Portsmouth Harbour Station with direct access to London.

Haslar Marina, Gosport PO12 1NU

Haslar Marina, Haslar Road, Gosport, United Kingdom

Home to Antara and Katabatic! As you can see we are a stones throw away from the Solent and all that it has to offer. Haslar Marina has excellent facilities with good car parking available.

Yarmouth Harbour

Yarmouth Harbour, Yarmouth, United Kingdom

With a fair tide it is possible to visit for lunch and be back in a day. Yarmouth should be on everyone's list of places to visit. A beautiful town that is geared up for visitors. Great walks and pubs are all close by. Take a trip on the open top bus to the Needles for spectacular views towards Poole. The Wightlink car ferry from Lymington on the mainland also docks in Yarmouth.

Newtown Creek

2 Coastguard Cottages, Newtown, Newport, Isle of Wight PO30 4PA, UK

A National Nature Reserve it is a beautiful harbour to stop for lunch or anchor overnight. Launch the tender and you will gain access to some wonderful walks and pubs. Access is tide dependent so a lunch time stopover would have to be around high water.

Beaulieu River

New Forest National Park, Dock Lane, Brockenhurst, Hampshire SO42 7YU, UK

Beaulieu River is owned by the Beaulieu Estate , one of only a handful of rivers in the world that are privately owned. The journey up the winding river towards Bucklers Hard is a memorable one. Although a visit is achievable in a day it does depend on high water being around midday.

1 Quay Road, Lymington, Hampshire SO41 3AT, UK

Situated on the edge of the New Forest and at the western edge of the Solent, this thriving Georgian market town is a great place to visit. There are 2 large marinas situated just before the town or if you are in Antara you could chance your luck on the Town Quay near the bottom of the high street. Katabatic is too big for the Quay but you can pick up a buoy and use the tender to get to land.

Chichester Harbour

Roman Landing, West Wittering, Chichester, West Sussex PO20 8AT, UK

An area of outstanding natural beauty, it is a large natural harbour approx. 8 nautical miles from Haslar Marina. Once inside the harbour there is a choice of harbourside villages and anchorages offering good protection. A fantastic place to visit and stop for lunch.

About Portsmouth

Why is Portsmouth a good sailing destination?

With its historic harbors, naval heritage, and unparalleled access to the Solent’s pristine waters, Portsmouth emerges as a sought-after destination for sailors across the globe. Here’s why Yachting.Rent considers Portsmouth a nautical gem and a supreme sailing destination.

Nestled on the southern coast of England, Portsmouth boasts a rich maritime history. The city stands as a living testament to the UK’s naval legacy, with its world-renowned Historic Dockyard home to legendary vessels such as HMS Victory and the Mary Rose. The juxtaposition of historic ships, modern naval craft, and the imposing Spinnaker Tower creates a breathtaking panorama for sailors departing or arriving at its harbors.

Yet, beyond its historical allure, Portsmouth is a gateway to the Solent, one of the world’s premier sailing waters. The Solent’s diverse tidal conditions, steady winds, and the shelter provided by the Isle of Wight make it a thrilling playground for both novice sailors and seasoned mariners. The waters challenge and charm, offering myriad routes and anchorage spots that promise diverse experiences, from serene sunsets to exciting regattas.

Festivals and events further amplify Portsmouth’s sailing allure. From the annual Cowes Week to local yacht races, the city remains abuzz with nautical activities, drawing enthusiasts from all corners. The marinas, equipped with top-notch facilities, serve as ideal bases for yachts of all sizes, ensuring sailors have everything they need at their fingertips.

Furthermore, the Yachting.Rent experience in Portsmouth is enhanced by the city’s vibrant culture and cuisine. Post-sailing, the streets come alive with seafood bistros, traditional pubs, and contemporary eateries, offering a taste of Portsmouth’s culinary diversity. The bustling market squares, maritime museums, and seaside promenades add layers to your sailing vacation, making it a holistic experience of leisure and discovery.

In essence, Portsmouth, with its unique blend of history, nautical prowess, and vibrant culture, stands out as an impeccable sailing destination. At Yachting.Rent, we invite you to anchor your dreams here and set sail on a journey that resonates with the city’s timeless maritime spirit.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Portsmouth

Embarking on a sailing adventure in Portsmouth’s pristine waters with Yachting.Rent involves a pivotal decision: selecting between the traditional sailing boat or the modern catamaran. Each vessel offers a unique experience, and understanding their attributes can help you make an informed choice for an unforgettable voyage.

A sailing boat, often referred to as a monohull, is the quintessential emblem of classic sailing. It promises an authentic feel of the sea, where sailors can experience the rhythmic dance with the waves and the thrill of heeling. Monohulls are often seen cutting through the Solent, their sleek design allowing for nimbleness and agility. They offer a closer connection to the water, making them ideal for those who seek the age-old romance of the seas. When you charter a sailing boat with Yachting.Rent, you’re choosing tradition, performance, and a deep-seated bond with the marine environment.

On the other hand, catamarans, with their twin hulls, are a symbol of stability and space. They offer a broader deck area, making them perfect for larger groups or families seeking comfort. The dual-hull structure ensures minimal heeling, providing a more stable platform, especially beneficial for those new to sailing or those who prefer a steadier journey. Catamarans are also known for shallow drafts, allowing sailors to explore hidden coves and anchor closer to the shore. Chartering a catamaran with Yachting.Rent means opting for comfort, space, and a panoramic view of Portsmouth’s scenic coastline.

Beyond the basic differences, your choice might also hinge on the trip’s purpose. If it’s a spirited sailing adventure, navigating the diverse tidal conditions of the Solent, a sailing boat might be your vessel of choice. Conversely, for relaxed cruising, sunbathing on spacious decks, or hosting a seaside party with panoramic views, a catamaran stands out.

Ultimately, whether you lean towards the traditional charm of a sailing boat or the modern comforts of a catamaran, Yachting.Rent ensures a top-tier vessel, primed for your Portsmouth adventure. Let the winds of the Solent guide your choice, and set sail on a journey tailored to your maritime dreams.

HAPPY PASSENGERS

“I recently went out for a boat day charter with Valentina Charters to the Isle of Wight. Glenn and his crew went out of the their way to accommodate our group of 8 including our 6 month old baby. Glenn is friendly, and knowledgeable, finding the best spots to stop for a swim and paddle board while feeling safe at all times. Such a fun day!”

“I’ve been on a couple of boat trips with Valentina and the crew now and have absolutely loved them both. The first a day trip to the Isle of Wight complete with a stint on the stand up paddle boards, and the second an evening out on flat water overlooking the Spinnaker Tower and the full moon. Glenn and his crew couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating, ensuring we felt completely comfortable and enjoyed every moment. Valentina is a beautiful boat upon which I hope to spend much more time with friends and family. Thanks so much Glenn!”

“We wanted to thank Valentina Charters for an amazing Sunset Cruise on Friday night, Glenn and Liv’s warm and friendly hospitality from boarding to departing exceeded all of my expectations. The boat is beautiful and Glenn’s knowledge of the sea and his vessel made for the perfect experience. I would not hesitate in recommending the sunset cruise enough if you are looking for a boat charter.”

“Yesterday was a child free trip on Valentina. What a beautiful day, great company and an amazing boat. Highly recommended for a perfect day out. Thank you, Glenn and crew.”

“Glenn’s knowledge of sailing is second to none and he expertly adjusted our trip around the weather to ensure we received the best days sailing. A fantastic day was had by everyone in our group and will be looking to repeat it very soon with another boat charter.”

Darren and Selina

“What a truly beautiful boat. Immaculately clean, comfortable with everything you need to enjoy for a day out on the ocean. Glenn’s knowledge of the area ensured we got to travel to the very best places. The crew are very professional and take care of your every need. A fantastic charter experience, creating wonderful memories.”

“We chartered Valentina for the day. We had an amazing day. The boat was of a high standard, comfortable, and spotless. The staff were very attentive and professional. There were 10 of us with plenty of room for all. We had an option of sitting upper deck, lower deck, or a warm comfortable inside. Definitely would recommend this boat and staff. 5 stars.”
