After a day on the water, yesterday’s guests were treated to an overnight stay at the award winning Chewton Glen Hotel and Spa before enjoying a four course tasting menu with wine pairing in the private wine room. With a range of meeting rooms and dining spaces to cater for groups of all sizes, and close proximity to our sailing base in Lymington, this stunning venue provides the perfect location to create a memorable event.

Great day on the water today for our auction winners in conjunction with EMCTrust, with the legendary Dame Ellen MacArthur herself at the helm of Solent Hero, all in aid of a fantastic cause.

April signals the start of our outdoor event season, both on water and land! Last week saw us hosting a team of 40 from around the world who got to spend the morning undertaking a range of country pursuit activities including laser clay, archery, falconry and sheep herding with award-winning sheep dog Helen and her trainee Megan (as seen on Alan Titchmarsh’s Love Your Weekend!). After lunch it was time to channel Tom Cruise and put the group’s mixology skills to the test with a cocktail making challenge which always provides lots of laughs (although perhaps not for our resident bartenders Tosh and Billy who had to taste and judge the concoctions 🙈)!

What an achievement - over 146,000 lives saved at sea! Congratulations to the RNLI today for their 200th anniversary and thank you to all your staff and volunteers for making such an incredible difference to the UK's coastlines - especially the team at our local RNLI Lymington Lifeboat station

Happy Leap Day 🐸 although it’s a day more traditionally associated with ❤️ than frogs! Did you decide to propose today, or were you proposed to? Congratulations to all those happy couples who got engaged today 💍 if you need inspiration for your hen or stag do, take a look at our sailing days on the Solent. Spend the day aboard one of our beautiful yachts where you can opt to drop anchor in a sheltered bay and have a picnic onboard followed by a swim, as our very own Claire did last summer, or pop ashore for lunch on the Isle of Wight at one of the fabulous eateries such as the George Hotel, Yarmouth or The Hut Colewell Bay. If you’re lucky you may even spot a 🐬 or two! DM us for more details
