Englands climate has a temperate maritime climate. The southeast has the mildest climate, relatively warm and dry and can have long and golden summers. The north and west are colder and usually wetter. The North Atlantic Drift causes milder weather conditions. The moderating effects of the Gulf Stream are strongest in the western coastal region.

The country has a temperate climate, so rain, sun or cool greyish hours can occur on the same day. Temperate winters and cool summers are typical. Summer is pleasantly warm. Average temperatures range from 18-23°C. Between May and September, the weather really warms up. July is normally the warmest month. Winter and Autumn are the seasons that have the wettest conditions. The temperature is usually between 3 and 6°C in winter. The coldest months are January and February. Rainfall is spread fairly evenly throughout the year. London alone actually has an annual rainfall lower than Paris, Sydney and New York. Scotland, in general, is colder and more prone to snow in winter.

If you want more accurate/detailed information about the weather and wind conditions, select a region from the bareboat yacht charter in England destinations tab. Please search for the desired holiday destination within the region and you can find the weather tab under the city tab.

Solent Yacht Charter has a great range of boats for you to charter in 2024, take a look at our bareboat charter fleet. Pick from the fabulous  Beneteau 31 above packed with features to our 39ft Bavaria Summer Breeze and many in between.  Solent Yacht Charter, established for 28 years,   provides Bareboat, Corporate and Skippered Yacht Charter based in Haslar Marina, Portsmouth Harbour.

The Solent is one of the most famous sailing areas in the world and offers many options for beautiful sailing destinations both on the South Coast mainland and the Isle of Wight. This fabulous sailing area not only has a unique collection of beautiful harbours and bays to explore but also offers interesting sailing challenges to suit both beginners and the most seasoned of sailors.  And, with a busy racing and events programme you have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the premier sailing scene.

Popular cruising destinations include the yachting capital of the UK – Cowes on the River Medina,  the famous River Hamble, the idyllic Beaulieu River, and many more. Some of our charterers prefer to head East, to the less busy Langstone and Chichester Harbours, or why not take an extended break and cruise to Poole or Dartmouth?  No waiting for the tidal gate at The Needles if you are looking to go even further across The Channel to France or the Channel Islands, just sail out of Portsmouth Harbour and head south round the back of the Isle of Wight.

With our knowledge and experience, we can help you match the best boat and itinerary to your perfect sailing adventure!  You can be assured to experience a friendly, honest and fun approach to boating!

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

This is truly a 5 * service. The team really looked after us both ashore on arrival and also while at sea. We were a relatively inexperienced crew but always felt the team ashore had our backs. Thoroughly recommended.

I just wanted to say Thank-you very much for the weekend charter. It was exactly what we were after (albeit cold!) plus Andy was an awesome teacher and great company. We’ll definitely be keen to book again soon!

We had a fabulous four days. Marina is ideally placed for the Solent, boat was in great condition, well equipped and a joy to sail. We were well briefed and the shore side team including the dog very friendly.

We charted one of the sailing yachts for a fantastic weekend cruise in the Solent. The boat was in superb condition and well equipped, the staff was very helpful explaining how things work on the yacht and there was also a video available with all the important information. 10/10 would recommend!

Had a fantastic week chartering Blue Otter, Alex was incredibly helpful and sent loads of information and date checking prior to booking. There was a handover video and both the handover and return were really smooth. The boat was lovely and well maintained and Lee was really helpful in recommending places to visit (and helping identify the steering issue as an autopilot takeover - doh!). Definitely will be back and would fully recommend!

Just back from a lovely week in the Solent. Great service from HPYC from first inquiry through to return handover. Very straightforward to deal with, and the yacht was in excellent condition. We've chartered from many companies in the UK and abroad and the attention to detail (and flawless inventory!) was second to none. Everything about the yacht and equipment had clearly been well looked after and was in immaculate condition. Great service, will use again.

Always very friendly service, and well-maintained yachts. Easy check-in and checkout. Will be back...  

We had a great time and were very happy with everything. Your team were genuinely friendly and were very helpful when we needed it. Is a big contrast to many charter companies I have dealt with in the past.

Watching the sun go down with a glass of bubbly on the deck of a sparkling yacht was unbelievable. What a treat, and a much needed change of scenery in these troubled times. We will be back for sure

Fab service, nothing too much trouble, including my daft questions. I'll be a repeat customer for sure!

We had a great time sailing with Lee for a few days at the beginning of September. Hamble Point Yacht Charters supplied us an impeccable 45 ft Hanse yacht, which was handled with complete mastery by Captain Lee. It was a privilege to sail with Lee, who is clearly a highly skilled professional taking great pride in his work ... but who is also a fantastic character with a great sense of humour and plenty of fun stories to keep the whole family entertained. He balances the serious side of safety and learning about sailing with a whopping dose of amusement and good cheer. We sailed the Solent in some decent seas, visited Bucklers Hard on the banks of the Beaulieu River and learned lots about British nautical history. Our boys started somewhat of a fishing trend catching bass off the back of the boat in Portsmouth and we would love to sail with Lee again in the future. The man truly knows his stuff, maintained the boat impeccably and went to every effort to ensure that we had a great time. Many thanks to “Shippers” and Hamble Point Charters. We’ll be back.

Chartered bareboats with HPYC on numerous occasions most recently in Sept 2020. Always helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic weekend sailing on Loxley B. Boat in super condition and spotlessly clean, Alex. and the team very thorough and always on hand to answer any questions. A great experience. We will be back. Thank you!

Lots of information from office with a friendly service. We selected a one of the cheaper yachts and was please with find everything work and was cleaned and tidy. We will definitely be back

This was the first time we had tried chartering and as experienced racing sailors we didn't know what to expect. Covid has closed down all our events this year so this was a chance to get afloat at least once in 2020. What a great experience and Alex and all the Hamble staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. We had a great three days and we will be back !! We would have no hesitation is recommending Hamble Point Yacht Charters.

UK Sailing yacht charter

A fantastic way to take an active outdoor holiday in the UK is a sailing yacht charter. Jump on board one of our modern, well-equipped and well-maintained yachts and enjoy the freedom of sailing away.   Your yacht will be ready waiting and fully prepared. All you need to do is bring your clothes, food and entertainments. Be it fishing gear, beach games, inflatable SUPs or kayaks, or simply a good book. There’s two simple ways of hiring one of our yachts, also known as chartering.

Bareboat yacht charter

A bareboat charter does not mean the boat is ‘bare’ of any luxuries.  In fact, quite the opposite!

Our charter fleet yachts are well equipped, spacious with large cabins, hot showers and fully equipped galleys (kitchens). Taking a bareboat charter simply means you hire the boat and sail it where ever you wish, as if it were your own. And there’s plenty of space to relax, spread out and sunbathe on deck.

Discover more

Flotilla sailing

Taking a flotilla sailing holiday is another way to enjoy a sailing yacht charter.

Sailing as part of a flotilla means you sail to the same destinations each day as part of a group of yachts.  With our experienced lead boat skipper to give advice and briefings, you can choose to enjoy a sail on your own. Or buddy up with other boats, sail together and enjoy lunch or a beach stop somewhere on the way. It’s your choice.

We do recognise that not everyone has been formally trained so if you do not hold a sailing qualification please contact us & we can discuss your options.

Our yachts are based at Mercury Yacht Harbour on the River Hamble which offers easy access out into the Solent.

Our sailing area extends between Chichester and Poole Harbour offering plenty of opportunity to cruise the Solent and surrounding waters of the Isle of Wight.

Please note that we are not able to offer cross channel charters.

Yacht Equipment

All our boats comply fully with the MCA charter requirements and the code of practice for small commercial vessels. Our bareboat charter yachts are maintained by a professional team, you will find each yacht presented to the highest standards and well kitted out with a high level of equipment.  We provide a comprehensive briefing at the start of each charter to ensure that you are completely satisfied in every respect before you get underway. Throughout your charter we are always on hand to help with any eventuality. A good source of information regarding chartering a yacht can be found on the Marine Leisure Association website and the RYA’s website.

• Basic cleaning kit
• Tea, Coffee & Sugar,
• Rubbish bags & toilet rolls

We can also provide:

• Cruising Chute / Spinnaker

At the end of your charter

All we ask is that you return the yacht to us in the same way that you found it. We make no charge for gas but we do ask that you fill-up the diesel and water tanks on your return.

As far as cleaning is concerned if you want to simply step off the yacht at the end of your charter then we do offer a cleaning service for £150.

Search corfu yacht charter.

Corfu is the second largest island in the Ionian chain and easy to reach by plane from the UK. It’s loved by sailors for its 200km of coast and calm, clear waters that are perfect for easy, relaxed sailing, as well as offering some of the best snorkelling and swimming in Greece.

When you sail in Corfu, you can trace ancient history through the island’s monuments, find charming anchorages, cruise spectacular scenery and dine at fine tavernas. Don’t forget to leave time to explore the attractive, Italian-style Corfu Town with its fine squares and atmospheric neighbourhoods. Make sure you take in the impressive panorama view over the town and coast from the old fortress.

Corfu Highlights

• Paxos – Spend time on the waterfront at Gaios with its pastel townhouses, smart boutiques and family-run tavernas

Choosing the perfect fit for your sail: Bareboat vs. Crewed Yacht charters

S etting sail in the open expanse of the sea might sound thrilling but challenging at the same time. Choosing the correct type of yacht for your voyage can be a dilemma, especially when there are so many types. But do they match your needs?

For this, the first step is to do your research. This will bring clarity to your decision on whether you want to set sail alone or need professional assistance. Choosing the correct type of yacht is crucial for a hassle-free sailing experience.

Yacht charters have endless types, but this article only gives you in-depth information about the broader categories of bareboat and crewed charters.

The goal is to help you make an informed decision by considering your group size, requirements, and priorities.

So let’s get started!

Types of yacht charters

Each yacht charter is tailored to meet different tastes and priorities, and choosing one can be overwhelming. Some of the most famous known types include:

Bareboat charters

Crewed charters.

• Skipper charters
• Luxury charters
• Cabin charters

This section will delve into the pros and cons of bareboat and crewed charters to help you plan the vacation you rightly deserve.

Chartering a bareboat gives you a thrilling experience of exploring the open sea. This type of yacht gives you freedom of navigation. This means you’re the captain, and you’re the crew.

However, the sailing period is pre-defined while renting a bareboat from a charter company.

Pros of bareboat charter:

• Flexibility 

On a bareboat charter, you are the captain to set your itinerary. There is no need to stick to a fixed schedule, and you can make changes as you desire. This gives you the advantage of discovering more unexplored sites you can’t do on a busy cruise.

• Cost-effective experience

Bareboat charters provide financial leverage because you handle the boat yourself. So, heavy charges of the crew can be avoided easily. This cost-saving feature makes it an attractive choice for a memorable voyage across the sea.

• Customized experience

Chartering a bareboat allows you to be accessible to personalize your sailing experience. You can choose your dream destination and explore in solitude.

This provides an excellent opportunity to create precious, intimate memories with family and friends. So, your sailing experience will reflect your preferences and interests.

• Self-confidence

The independence that the bareboat charter offers comes with a bundle of self-confidence. You get an opportunity to manage life at sea on your own.

Getting out of your comfort zone of traditional traveling boosts your confidence automatically and motivates you to discover the hidden gem of places on your own.

Cons of bareboat charter

• Experience required

The independence that a bareboat charter offers seems attractive. However, it comes with a precondition. You must have prior sailing experience, and the necessary sailing skills are required for a self-sufficient adventure in the sea.

• Self-catering

Preparing meals, planning, and managing supplies can be daunting; on a bareboat charter, you are responsible for self-catering. It can be an enjoyable experience for culinary enthusiasts. However, it required precise planning and organizing to ensure self-sufficiency in the sea.

Even though an independent sail must be thrilling, nothing compares to having an assisted crew while you relax and enjoy the panoramic ocean scenes.

A crewed charter usually comes with a small crew of a skipper, a chef, and a hostess to assist you while you relax.

Pros of crewed charters

• Professional crew service

A skilled captain always makes navigation easier. By renting a crewed charter, you will gain a deeper insight into your destination through the crew’s local knowledge. Moreover, it ensures your safety and expert guidance in the sea.

This will not only make your journey smooth but memorable as well. Whether it comes to navigation or wanting a cocktail, the crew will be there to fulfill every need.

• Stress-free sail

The whole point of a vacation is to remain stress-free. While the crew handles all the operations and technicalities, you are left by yourself to enjoy. This provides an excellent opportunity to make memories with your loved ones or immerse in your surroundings without any worry.

With the crew catering to your every need, it leaves you plenty of time for exploration and relaxation.

• Customization

Crewed charters are famous for their adaptability. If you want to make any changes in your schedule, the crew is there to help you. You can plan intimate family gatherings and celebrations with your friends with the help of a limited but professional crew.

It is an attractive option because your voyage can be personalized to make it memorable. This adds a hint of exclusivity but at a reasonable price.

Cons of a crewed charter

• Costly 

The exclusivity that a crewed charter offers comes with a price tag. Even though it ensures a wholesome experience with a professional crew, it can be a limiting factor for people with a budget constraint. So, careful evaluation is necessary when paying this much for an experienced crew to be on board with you.

• Limited privacy

Even though a professional crew ensures safety, their presence can be a compromise to your independence and privacy on the yacht. Your crew may influence your itinerary, and this results in less freedom than a bareboat charter.  

However, these confusions can quickly be cleared out very easily. By communicating your needs effectively to your crew, they can maintain a balance between privacy and assistance.

• Itinerary limitations

The crew’s operations may impact your original plan, and these changes may not always be feasible. This can be frustrating sometimes but can be resolved by communicating with your crew.

However, the level of independence is different from a bareboat charter.

Now you can decide…

We have discussed the pros and cons of the primary two yacht categories. We now know that a bareboat charter stands out for independent sailors who seek a self-sufficient adventure. On the other hand, a crewed charter offers more relaxation as the operational and technical aspect of sailing is handled by crew members. At the same time, you relax in a hassle-free vessel.

These distinctions will help you make an informed decision while considering your budget constraints, prior sailing experience, and dream destinations.

Once you research, you can also contact yacht chartering companies for more information. Chartering companies worldwide, like 12knots.com yacht charters , offer a diverse insight into a fleet of yachts and sailing destinations.

So ditch the old travelling options, and for your next vacation, charter a yacht for a perfect getaway.
