Bare boat yacht charter is available for those who are familiar and experienced as Skipper with the size of yacht they wish to charter in tidal waters. The minimum of an experienced RYA Day Skipper qualification with UK charter or UK skippering experience or equivalent standard PLUS appropriate tidal experience having been skipper previously in tidal waters, plus a VHF operator’s licence, is required.  (We stress that you must prove / demonstrate  experience as skipper in tidal environments).
You will be asked for documented tidal mile experience / or a sailing CV along with other experience indicators such as previous charters, duration and their locations, size of yachts used, any yacht ownership plus the experience level of your First Mate.
We are then able to form an understanding of your overall experience and suitability to charter any particular vessel for any particular area / voyage.
If you are in any doubt about your experience level, your tidal experience as skipper, lack of paper qualifications then please discuss with us or drop us your sailing CV and we can then have a chat / take a view or ask our insurers to approve – your previous experience counts for a lot!

At the commencement of both skippered and bare boat charter each yacht receives a complementary ‘starter pack’ of tea, coffee, sugar, tea towels and all cleaning materials. Equipment such as wet weather gear can be hired. Your yacht will be supplied with fully filled diesel and water tanks, gas cylinders and be fully cleaned. One bottle of gas is included. You return the yachts as found and clean down. Cleaning can be undertaken at a charge but you must remove all rubbish and do the washing up. You will, however, need to supply your own towels, pillows and bedding. All boats are comprehensively equipped and comply with all the safety requirements.

Anti – Covid19 Measures. The enhanced disinfection fee (Anti Covid 19 measures) applies to all charters during any periods of restrictions or advice by the Government and is carried out rigorously.

Post Charter Clean Down Fee. If you wish us to clean down the ‘clean down’ fee applies. You need to bag the main and tie up, do the washing up / put away dishes and clean the cooker, remove all domestic and heads rubbish plus belongings and we will do the rest.
We will then fill water tanks, clean decks and cockpit, wipe out cupboards and linings, hoover carpets, brush out sole boards, clean fridge, clean heads, lay out life-jackets and lines. A clean down is approximately 2.25 man hrs work.

If you do not take a ‘clean down’ and pay the additional fee please make sure that you allow sufficient time for you and crew to clean before you leave the yacht at the allotted finish time. 

Marina Facilities. The Hamble marina base at MDL Mercury on the River Hamble has ample free parking and the complex is 24hr staffed, there are excellent showers, toilets, laundry, a restaurant and bar. The nearest chandlery / marine shop is now at Port Hamble. There is 240 volt electric to the boats at the home marina and berthing here is free.
