Have a fun filled day aboard an exhilarating, high performance Sunseeker offshore cruiser. We can guarantee you will have a memorable time.
The Sunseeker features an open 'Mediterranean style' cockpit, sleek aerodynamic lines and a handling and speed that will amaze even the most experienced sea farer.
The Gift Experience departs from moorings in Ocean Village Marina, Southampton and will carry 8 passengers and a fully qualified skipper along with a second crew member. The boat is MCA safety coded and very safe.
The day will begin with refreshments and a safety briefing then head out towards the Isle of Wight, taking a look at the cruise ships along the way (e.g. QE2 and QM2). Then, providing conditions are safe you will be able to take a turn at the helm to feel the immense power and even try a 'donut', get use to boat handling and learn some of the 'rules of the road'. Learn to navigate, colours and direction of buoys.
The most requested stop off for lunch (not included) is the famous
Folly Inn, West Cowes, Isle of Wight - part of the Wayside Inn chain, well run with a wide selection of hot and cold food available all day. Spacious bar and outside terrace perched right on the banks of the River Medina. A river taxi will ferry back and forth to the boat. Alternatively, you may just wish to stay aboard and relax on the boat.
After lunch, take the Sunseeker to the limit, relax, drink Champagne (if this included in your day) and look at the sights from this luxury 40' power boat. Arrive back at the Marina and reflect on the experience.
This is the perfect gift experience.
To make it an extra special occasion, we can provide champagne, lunch on the Isle of Wight along with hotel bookings and transport. The boat can be booked exclusively and tailor made for your ultimate experience please ring for prices.
Stag and Hen parties welcome.
What better way to kick start any Stag or Hen party. Get the adrenaline running with all the fun and fresh air and you'll have even more energy for partying later!
