The Hut, Isle of Wight

How your Solent Water Taxi to The Hut works

Your trip begins with a warm welcome from your professional and experienced commercial skipper. Once aboard, we’ll provide a safety briefing, fit your lifejackets and then we’ll head across the Solent to the restaurant, enjoying the sea air and coastal views.

The journey itself is part of the fun.

On calm days, we can detour past The Needles for photos. We’ll also be keeping our eyes open for Dolphins!

Then you can either head into the bay in front of The Hut to get on board a tender or into Yarmouth Harbour, where The Hut’s funky transport is arranged to take you directly to the restaurant for lunch and drinks.

Afterwards, you can:

• Return with Bluetooth from Colwell Bay or Yarmouth, or

• Make your own way back via public ferry.

It’s completely flexible.
