Thank you Nigel and Tim for making our trip something to remember as well as the other people on board the boat. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves sailing on the Solent. We were given a glass of champagne just after sailing off, which was a lovely touch. We then sailed towards the Isle of Wight and anchored up where we had... More

We moored in Alum Bay for dinner. The dinner was very very average. Spaghetti with meatballs and some salad leaves. A tart style... More

I bought this trip as a 40th birthday treat for my son and his wife. They said they had a brilliant time. The food was excellent, the experience second to non and, to top it all, the sun shone the whole time. A handy hint for other prospective sailors would be not to forget the sun cream ! A lovely...

I booked this trip as an experience I could share with my daughter who is very keen on kayaking but had never sailed. Everyone was exceptionally friendly and she was able to fully enjoy being part of the crew. The meal that was provided as part of the package was excellent. Great time had by all.

We bought this deal through Groupon in 2011, it was advertised as a £600 sailing trip for £89. Whilst we had a lovely afternoon and evening, it certainly was not the £600 trip with the 4 course dinner as advertised when we booked (in 2012 it is advertised for £99 worth £600) with two courses but the website lists the...

The trip was very well thought out and organised. We felt quite grand drinking bubbly on the magnificant yacht, which was expertly handled. A beautiful spot was chosen to anchor for lunch, which was very tasty (and part of the package). I also recommend the reasonably priced wine which can be pre-ordered from a local merchant.
