Our full boat charter options are ideal for groups of six to twenty-four people and it make an ideal day out for all the family, a group of friends, corporate rewards or for a special occasion. The focus of all our events is to offer a hands-on experience allowing participants to take part in all aspects of sailing aboard these exciting vessels. All our days are suitable for complete novices through to more experienced sailors and our professional crew are on hand to guide participants through sailing the yachts. For a party of eight to twelve choose from Whitbread 60 Blueprint or Clipper 60 Taeping, or if you have a larger group charter both yachts together to increase the total capacity to twenty four.

Whitbread 60 Blueprint is a former professional Round the World Race Yacht, which offers a unique and exciting option for a day. Blueprint, formerly Intrum Justitia, finished second in the 1993/4 Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race, breaking the monohull speed record. She is still in race condition and as we encourage a hands-on focus to all our events, everyone has an opportunity to be actively involved in sailing the 64ft yacht, hoisting sails, steering and working on the 'coffee grinders'.

Clipper 60 Taeping is a former amateur Round the World Race Yacht. At 60ft long, like Whitbread 60 Blueprint, Taeping is ideal to accommodate a larger group aboard a single yacht. Designed to to be sailed round the world by amateurs she has a more comfortable recessed cockpit which provides a safe seating area for guests throughout the day, whilst enabling them to play an active part in the sailing of the yacht.

All our full boat prices include a professional Skipper and crew, a baguette lunch, snacks, soft drinks, tea and coffee throughout the day, use of wet weather clothing and all safety equipment. Please note that for safety reasons we do not permit the consumption of alcohol whilst on board our vessels.
