Escape Yachting 5 Day Weather Forecast

We are a skippered yacht charter company. We focus on high quality, professional service on our sailing days, weekends and holidays. We are passionate about sailing and sharing that enthusiasm with those who sail with us. Our guests range from complete novices to Yachtmasters - so you need not worry about your levels of experience. Those on board - of any age - can choose to sit back and relax and enjoy the sailing or get involved and 'learn the ropes’. It’s a great day out on the water for individuals, couples, groups of friends and family, colleagues and clients.

We are delighted to have received such excellent TripAdvisor reviews and to have been awarded a Certificate of Excellence in 2013, 2014 and 2015. We provide a friendly, highly qualified and experienced skipper to sail the yacht and also a member of crew to look after you. We know how to relate to people with courtesy, style and discretion. Most of our guests have never sailed before, so we love to share our passion for sailing with you and work hard to ensure that you have a really relaxing and enjoyable day!

We provide a high quality service to our guests, using beautiful, modern, luxury yachts in the Jeanneau fleet from 40 to 54 feet. For larger groups, we can provide more than one yacht. The yachts we use are based in Lymington in the heart of the beautiful New Forest, with easy access by road, rail and air. From Lymington, we are straight out onto the Western Solent. On a day or weekend sail from Lymington, you can visit harbours and anchorages at Cowes, Yarmouth or Newtown on the Isle of Wight, or Beaulieu or Hamble on the mainland - and also sail past the Needles and anchor in Alum Bay. When we anchor for the meal, you can also enjoy a swim in the Solent!

You check in at Lymington Yacht Haven at 0900 for the Sail with Lunch or 1500 for the Sail with Dinner and then set sail on the Solent, with a glass of bubbly in hand! After a few hours sailing, we anchor off the Isle of Wight to serve a freshly prepared two-course meal on board the yacht. After the meal there is more sailing before we return to Lymington. Our Sail with Lunch or Dinner represents excellent value as it includes champagne on arrival and the two course meal – as well as the six hour sailing experience, professional skipper and crew, mooring fees and fuel. You are welcome to bring further refreshments or you can pre-order from our Wine List. To have a private, exclusive yacht to yourselves, you need to book at least 8 places. Otherwise, if there are less than 8 guests, you will be on our very popular shared charters. There will be up to 10 guests on board, which works really well!
