Planning a UK sailing holiday? Look no further than the beautiful Solent for your next Hamble Yacht Charter.
With sheltered waters, charming harbours, and historic coastal towns, it’s the perfect destination for a bareboat charter. Starting from the bustling sailing hub of the River Hamble, here’s a 5-day sailing itinerary to inspire your next sailing adventure.
Day 1: Hamble to Cowes (10 NM)
Begin your journey at Port Hamble Marina and set sail towards the world-famous sailing town of Cowes. This short passage across the Solent gives you time to settle in and enjoy your first taste of coastal cruising.
Cowes is a must-visit on any UK sailing holiday, offering a lively mix of pubs, restaurants, and maritime history. Moor up at Cowes Yacht Haven and enjoy an evening ashore.
Day 2: Cowes to Yarmouth (14 NM)
From Cowes, head west to the picturesque harbour of Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight. Known for its quaint charm and waterfront eateries, Yarmouth is a favourite stop for many bareboat charters.
Spend the afternoon exploring the castle or walking the scenic pier before enjoying fresh seafood at The George Hotel.
Day 3: Yarmouth to Lymington (7 NM)
Cross back to the mainland and head into the Georgian market town of Lymington. The town’s cobbled streets, boutique shops, and famous Saturday market make it a rewarding stop.
Berth at Lymington Yacht Haven and perhaps enjoy a walk in the nearby New Forest before a relaxing dinner overlooking the marina.
Day 4: Lymington to Beaulieu River (12 NM)
Sail east and make your way up the tranquil Beaulieu River. Buckler’s Hard offers unique mooring options in a historic shipbuilding village.
It’s a peaceful and scenic stop where you can explore the Maritime Museum or walk along the woodland trails.
Day 5: Beaulieu to Hamble (14 NM)
On your final day, cruise back to Hamble, taking time to enjoy the scenery and maybe a lunch stop in Osborne Bay.
