Having chartered a Rib and Yacht package for a day recently for our best customers, I felt I had to write a review about the whole day as it far exceeded our expectations.
Matt who runs the company and our skipper for the day has customer service absolutely nailed, and nothing was too much trouble. In the morning we were out on the Rib and it was exhilarating and thoroughly enjoyable. We went across to the Isle of Wight via a wiz around a super yacht that was harboured just off the coast, followed by a blast to Southampton to see some of the bigger water traffic. We then ventured to a lovely pub for lunch, mooring up outside (this really is a lifestyle to experience!).
After lunch we then travelled back to the Yacht Haven Marina in Lymington where we proceeded to transfer to the Fly Bridge Motor Yacht (wow!). I did not ask how much one of these cost to buy, but I would be surprised if there was any change from £1m - leather seats, luxury finish I had only ever seen on TV, a fridge full of Champagne, great host, what more would you want?
The afternoon was just pure luxury, relaxing and taking the passing day in, cruising to see the Needles and taking lots of photos. Nothing was ever too much trouble and we were never under any pressure to do anything and that included departure at the end of the day where we finished off the last of the Champagne and all of Matt's chocolate biscuits (including reserves!).
If only we could do this every week, I can't fault anything and have actually already re-booked for spring next year - this time with friends and family, they just have to experience what I did.
To summarise the day, relaxing, enjoyable and above all absolutely great fun. I am happy to supply a reference to anyone who wants it and would recommend Southsea Charters to anyone who is looking for this type of day out.
Our company offers anybody the chance to charter a boat and spend a day out at sea on any of our fabulous 36ft & 45ft fly bridge motor yachts or 28ft & 26ft 300hp sports ribs calling into various ports and catching famous sights along the English Solent. Our boats are primarily aimed at families, friends & companies who want that special day out.
