Corporate Hospitality with Hurst Point Yacht Charters

We have been corporate hospitality organisers since 2003. In additiona to hospitality, staff rewards, team building, company days out, supplier assessment and racing regattas are all activities very familiar to us. We use standard 40ft yachts which can carry 8 people including the skipper. We have several of these which we operate as a fleet from Lymington in the New Forest National Park.

Lymington marina base

Right on the edge of the New Forest National Park which you will pass through on your way to us. Experience the exhilaration and fun of sailing for yourselves. This is a hands on activity and we invite you to learn how to sail the yachts. This includes not only setting the sails and taking the helm but also trying your hand at the navigation.

Hamble marina base

Walk into the the famous old yachting village of Hamble where you will find atmospheric pubs and great food. The marina has all the facilities you will need.

Sailing Yachts

Here are the key points of the standard itinerary:

Meet in the marina bar overlooking the yachts for bacon bagettes, fresh orange juice and ground coffee
Join the yachts for a safety briefing and familiarisation with the yachts equipment
Head down river to the Solent where the sails are hoisted and sailing training takes place
Race 1 around a pre arranged course of race marks finishing on the Royal Yacht Squadron line at Cowes
Crew berth the yachts in the Cowes Yacht Haven adjacent to the high street with its yachting shops and bars
Lunch in one of the iconic yacht clubs overlooking the Medina River
Race 2 back to Lymington. Race two is usually a beat to windward, very different from the run downwind of Race 1
Reconvene in the marina bar for presentation of prizes.

Motor Yachts and Ribs

As an alternative to sail, we have a variety of motor yachts available to us in various sizes and locations around the Solent. The largest can accommodate up to 40 people for a corporate hospitality days. Most in demand for race viewing during major events such as the Round the Island Race and Cowes Week. But not limited to the Solent, regularly operates from central London and other locations. A smaller luxury Oyster motor yacht can accommodate 10 people plus crew. We can also offer you a fleet of matched ribs, available skippered or bareboat hire to anyone who holds a RYA Powerboat level 2 certificate.

Of course the itineraries are quite different for the motor yachts with their huge speed and range advantage compared to the sailing yachts.To the west Poole Harbour, the worlds second largest natural harbour, is a favorite destination. And to the east, Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth Harbour with its al fresco dining alongside the marina is worth consideration. But you do not need to leave the Solent, the island harbours of Yarmouth, Cowes and Bembridge all offer fine attractions ashore.
