Places to visit with Bluetooth Private RIB Charter
River Hamble
Rather than turning starboard out of Hamble Point Marina, turn to port and keep to 6 knots to enjoy a cruise along River Hamble. To make the most out of this cruising area, it would be best to enjoy it at high tide.
Newtown Creek
Newtown Creek is between Cowes and Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight. It’s a National Trust anchorage and a great place to drop anchor and relax, swim, paddleboard, picnic and hopefully spot a Seal colony.
Portsmouth Harbour
There are a few good reasons to visit Portsmouth Harbour. Home to the shops and restaurants at Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and the Royal Navy surface ships.
Osbourne Bay
Drop the anchor and enjoy swimming or paddleboarding in the Solent outside of the former holiday home of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
Hythe
Hythe in Southampton is a pretty waterside town. Reaching Hythe marina will take you less than 30 minutes from our base at Hamble Point Marina.
Ocean Village, Southampton
If you’d like to visit the historic city of Southampton, you can moor at Ocean Village Marina at no charge and walk into the city centre in less than 15 minutes.
Solent Forts
Standing proud in Solent Water, you can see 4 Palmerston Forts. The forts were built during the 1860s prompted by concerns about the strength of the French Navy. Named after Lord Palmerston, the prime minister at the time, locally they are more commonly known as Solent Forts.
The Needles
The Needles are one of the UK’s most iconic landscapes and what comes into most people’s minds when they think about the Isle of Wight.
Beaulieu River
If you fancy a slow and meandering day, a visit to the Beaulieu River should be on your list. It’ll take about 30 minutes from Hamble Point Marina to reach the mouth of Beaulieu River, then it’s a steady 5 knots as you cruise along. Keep your eyes peeled for the resident seal.
Cowes
Cowes, on the Isle of Wight, is synonymous with boating. Following a recent trip over to Cowes we hope to offer some inspiration to wander a little further than the high street.
Yarmouth
Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight is a gem of a place. A quaint village atmosphere with a handful of boutique shops. pubs and restaurants and plenty of people watching to enjoy.
