Summer on the Solent can be a busy time on the water. The water is full of others having fun, powerboats, sailboats, jetskis, paddleboarders, swimmers and cruise ships taking their passengers to the warmth of the Med.
During the Autumn and Winter not only does the scenery change, the visitors to Solent Water drop off and during some trips, you could well believe you are the only people out on Solent Water enjoying the beautiful scenery. We love boating off-season, as long as you are dressed for the weather du jour, you’ll enjoy the same restorative effects on body and mind as you do in the Summer and you’ll blow away the cobwebs.
Whilst our services are less in demand during Autumn and Winter we do take this time to carry out upgrades and the annual safety checks. We generally always have one of our RIBs prepped and ready to go. So you can rent as a bareboat RIB, enjoy a skippered half or full-day RIB charter or take a one-way or return water taxi trip to a location in the Solent.
Contact us to check availability for your Solent RIB trip.
Enjoy days out by RIB this Autumn & Winter
Portsmouth is a great place to visit in the Autumn and Winter. In addition to a trip to Gunwharf or Gosport, a walk through Old Portsmouth can be great fun and we can highly recommend a walking tour with Steve. Read more about visiting Portsmouth by RIB here.
Yarmouth has become a wonderful destination for foodies. Not only a quaint seaside village, you have a really great selection of places to enjoy lunch. It’s a destination you’ll want to return to time and time again to work your way around the fabulous places to eat. Read more about visiting Yarmouth by RIB here.
Pop over to Cowes and you’ll find a high street of places to enjoy lunch and some great shops to visit. A great starting point to catch a taxi or bus and head inland to visit one of the Autumn/Winter events happening at the the Garlic Farm this year. Read more about visiting Cowes by RIB here.
If you are looking for a meandering trip followed by a lovely lunch with a roaring fire burning close by, then you should take a trip to Beaulieu. You can also moor up and jump in a taxi to visit the Motor museum. Read more about visiting Beaulieu by RIB here.
