Weekend charters "I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a wetted knife"

take time out to relax and explore the many creeks and harbours from Chichester through the Solent to Poole. Join the boat on Friday evening from 6 pm for the famous afterdeck ‘palm trees barbecue’ or supper in the main saloon, ready for an early start Saturday morning, returning early Sunday evening. With a draft of only 1.2m ‘Milliways’ can visit and anchor where other craft of this size dare not venture, providing a safe floating base for the inflatable tender or RIB to explore those hidden coves and beaches. Catamaran’s can easily dry out on the sand and become the ideal family beach house for the day.

Lulworth Cove weekend
Voyage out of the Solent through the Needles across Christchurch Bay past Old Harry Rocks and on to Lulworth Cove. Anchor in the dramatic scenery of the Cove. Explore the area by dinghy, swim or snorkel followed by supper at the ?????. Sunday morning sail back to Lyminton via the North Channel and Hirst Castle

Poole Harbour weekend
Voyage out of the Solent, past the Needles lighthouse and across Christchurch Bay to Poole Harbour. Dine in one of the many restaurants on the old town quay, then anchor overnight in Blood Alley by Brownsea Island made famous by Bayden Powell and the Boy Scouts movement. Next morning swim or snorkel before returning via the North Channel and Hirst Castle.

Chichester Harbour weekend
Sail the whole length of the Solent and out between the Napoleonic Forts guarding the eastern approaches. Voyage along the coast to the beautiful conservation area of Chichester Harbour. Enjoy an evening meal at the Ship Inn at Itchenor village or visit Chichester and anchor overnight. Explore East Head during the following morning and return via Cowes.

Ornithology weekends
We offer a bird watching weekend with a difference. Quietly anchor close to one of the several sanctuaries around the Solent during the late afternoon. Sit on the spacious decks and watch at close quarters the birds return in the early evening. As darkness falls dine on board and use the night vision equipment to watch the birds during the night. Next morning wake to the dawn chorus and breakfast before sailing back to base. These weekends are hosted by a guide with local knowledge of the area.
