| [ The Fastnet ] [ Parties ] A great way to meet 
If you don't find the dating game to be all plain sailing, if you are too busy to socialize or have no time to meet other people. Why not try something a little more exciting than a blind date or the occasional email! Our charter-a-berth trips are a great way to go out and have fun with lots of like-minded people from similar backgrounds in a safe and controlled environment. There's no guarantee that you'll meet Mr or Miss right, but because there is no pressure and no embarrassment its easy to make friends and many people have. You will get to know each other through the sailing and what happens afterwards is up to you.

Sample itinerary | Friday | | | Arrive at our base port in Gosport on Friday evening and meet your skipper on board one of the yachts. There's no pressure if you are running late as we know people have work commitments that take priority.
| | When everyone's ready, we head off to the local tavern for a meal.
| | Saturday | | | Up for breakfast and use of the marina facilities. Then we have a short safety briefing a look around the yacht's systems.
| | We depart Portsmouth Harbour for some sailing in the protected waters of the Solent. You can sit back and relax or get involved in all aspect of running the boat including helming or trimming the sails.
| | We anchor for lunch in one of the many picturesque harbours of the Solent. | | Off again, we practice some maneuvers and see what the boat can do. | | We arrive at our evening stopover such as Cowes or the Hamble. All the marinas have electricity, showers and toilets for our comfort.
| | Depending on numbers, we may take more than one yacht, so we mix up the crews mid way through the weekend.
| | We head ashore a meal in a local restaurant, followed by drinks in bar. Often there is a party atmosphere with live music.
| | The skippers go back to the boats, but you are free to stay out as late as you like, provided you come back quietly! | | Sunday | | | We start a bit later on Sunday with a full cooked breakfast prepared by the skipper. | | Set off for some more sailing and some friendly yacht racing around the buoys. | | Lunch at another anchorage in the Eastern Solent. | | Head back in to Portsmouth Harbour to moor up, pack away the boat and say our goodbyes - at least for now. |
