Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Escape yachting, gave us the opportunity to visit the Caribbean for the second time in two years.
We had to return, as it is one of the most amazing places to visit.
Escape yachting looked after us in every way , food, drinks Snorkeling and excursions ashore.
Both David and Paul worked hard to provide for our every need.
We will , definitely be returning in the future.
Thanks to the Escape yachting team.

A most delightful day's sailing with expert and charming Skipper and crew. All the family who wanted to have a go were encouraged and supported to sail and equally those who just wanted to enjoy the scenery could. I would highly recommend as a delightful day out for family or friends... Truly lovely. We experienced a catering issue for one member of our party but the company were very responsive and offered a refund. The rest of the family enjoyed the catering on offer. I would definitely rebook the day

This was a family great sailing day in the sunshine with a skipper Jim & his daughter Sophie who were both wonderful. We really enjoyed their company & the whole experience but were surprised & disappointed to be served a selection of sandwiches, wraps & scotch eggs for dinner not the promised two course hot meal as advertised.
Also my wife's allergy to salmon had been ignored despite including this detail in the booking form. Salmon sandwiches were included in the cold selection at the end of the day & my wife couldn't eat these or any of the other sandwiches because of the risk of cross contamination.
If we booked this experience again we'd need more assurances about the catering.

Thanks, Chris, for your review. I am pleased to read that you had a great sailing day, but sorry to read about your disappointment with the catering. As it was a lovely sunny day, we chose to cater the yacht that day with a fabulous freshly made selection from the Forest Foodie, who provide our luxury hampers when people choose to upgrade their meal. I am surprised that you were disappointed with the quality of the catering, given that they are award winning caterers and usually receive rave reviews from our guests! I note your comment about your wife's salmon allergy and apologise for the confusion, which you mention in an earlier email - not on the booking form. You mentioned 'smoked salmon' so a range of alternatives was included by our caterers. I am sorry that was not to your satisfaction and will let them know.

What a brilliant experience! I bought this for my Husband's Birthday and what a great treat it was for both of us. We were met by Fergus, who was just brilliant, he kept us informed of what was going on from the minutes he met us until we left the yacht. We had a 2 course meal, onboard, prepared by Paige who was equally brilliant and kept us topped up with tea, coffee and snacks.
Our sail left at just after 15:00 and we were back by 20:30. There were only 9 of us plus 2 crew, so having the small group was lovely and we all got to know each other and gelled really well. We were fortunate to have glorious weather and Fergus invited those who wanted to, to take a term at the helm , which so a really good experience. We stopped in a small cove, anchored and had our evening meal consisting of linguine and the freshest crab followed by treacle tart, raspberry coulis and clotted cream. It was all delicious. All too soon it was time to head back and we witnessed the most marvellous sunset. This truly was a most wonderful experience and one we shall never forget.

A glorious gentle sail along the Solent to The Needles where we anchored in Alum Bay for (more ) drinks followed by a delightful meal. A fantastic sunset accompanied us on our journey back to Lymington. The weather was fantastic - sunshine all the way.
The boat is beautiful with a nice spacious cockpit. We were looked after extremely well by our able skipper, Fergus, and the wonderfully multi-talented Paige who effortlessly combined windlass winding, galley slave and sommelier.
This was the last trip of the season so get yourself booked up for next year. If you love being on the water this is the trip for you.

We had an absolutely fantastic time on the Solent, with Fergus and Paige as our crew! We sailed along to The Needles and saw the strange rock formations from a completely different perspective. Fergus was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us the history of the Needles, and the Isle of Wight coastline.
We dropped anchor in Alum Bay and had wonderful views of the multi-coloured cliffs in beautiful sunshine.
Had a delicious dinner while anchored (which catered for our dietary requirements) and sipped on lovely English sparkling wine, before sailing back in the spectacular sunset!

Fantastic morning sail and lunch at anchor aboard Sun Odyssey yacht Prospero. We were looked after extremely well , my 93 year old father having a great time helming the yacht for at least an hour grinning his head off all the way ! Thoroughly recommend this for a uplifting experience.

Full range of typical English summer weather did not spoil two wonderful outings, I did two sessions. Great skippers and crew ensured we got to both enjoy and do as much as we wanted. It’s been awhile since I sailed, this was a delightful “re-entry”.
