Last minute RIB hire
The weather is lovely, or you’ve got an unexpected gap in your calendar and you’d much rather spend it having fun on The Solent than at home or in the office.
Whilst some days our RIBs were booked weeks or even months in advance. We always try to ensure that if it’s not booked out, it’s clean, fuelled and ready to go at short notice.
So if you are looking for a last-minute charter and we have availability, read below for the quickest steps to get booked.
Prices start at £375 for a half day bareboat, £475 for a half day skippered. £525 for a full day bareboat, £725 for a full day skippered. These include fuel and VAT where applicable.
What will I need to do to book a last minute bareboat RIB hire?
Once you’ve been in touch and checked that we have a RIB available for your trip, you will need the time and access to your docs to do the following:
1. Complete our online booking form.
This is where you will need to let us know more about your previous experience and the names of the other members of your crew. Once this has been filled in, we will check through and send you an invoice.
If you think that you may be booking last minute, this step can be pre-done, and we can keep your info on file so all you have to do is let us know the crew list on the day you rent a RIB.
2. Send us a copy of your passport, driving licence and your qualifications. Again, this step can be pre-done making it even speedier.
3. Pay the invoice we’ve just sent. This has to be done via bank transfer, so depending on who you bank with you may need access to your bank app calculator.
4. We’ll then send you the details of where to meet us at Hamble Point Marina, SO31 4NB. So we can take you through an onboard safety briefing. Once you have been briefed, you’ll soon be on your way to enjoy your day on the water.
