About

Enjoy a glass of English sparkling wine as you set sail on your beautiful, large, comfortable and modern yacht. After a few hours of sailing on the Solent you anchor off the Isle of Wight for a delicious freshly prepared two-course lunch, served on deck, and the opportunity for a swim! Afterwards there is more sailing as you head back to Lymington – getting involved as much as you wish – or just sitting back and relaxing! This is a great day out on your own, as a couple, or with a group of friends and family, clients and colleagues. What better way is there to celebrate a special occasion – a birthday, anniversary, stag or hen do, or even a wedding with a difference?

On Board Comforts

  • You can either leave your skipper and crew to do all of the sailing or get involved, learning as you sail along. No experience or qualifications are required.
  • It’s all about the little touches with Escape Yachting. Your friendly crew, including a qualified professional skipper, will also act as your steward and chef. Who wants to be doing the cooking and washing up while they’re on a day out? You’ve earned the right to relax and spend time enjoying yourself while we take care of all that for you.

Solent Sail and Stay Breaks

  • Perhaps you need a little longer to relax. Stay overnight on board after or before your Sail with Lunch or Dinner. Join us on board for a weekend or a couple of days midweek, where the choice is yours – where you go, what you eat, what you do.
  • Visit pretty harbours at Hamble, Beaulieu or Lymington; maybe you prefer a waterside pub on the Isle of Wight or a stroll around Cowes, world-famous home of yachting; even a shopping trip to Gunwharf Quays in historic Portsmouth?
