Osbourne Bay
When enjoying your RIB charter, pay a visit and swim where royalty once swam in front of Osbourne House. The former holiday home of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
Tuck yourself in and it’s a great spot to jump into the water and enjoy a swim around the RIB. This is also a nice area to paddleboard.
Do keep your eyes peeled here as sadly some power boats think it’s an anchorage to speed through.
