Hen party and stag party sailing trips from fashionable Lymington in the New Forest National Park are the ideal activities for a group of close friends. We organise many of these weekends and they provide a memorable experience:

'Clive, just to thank you and Ron for a fantastic weekend. We will definitely be recommending you to a few others'.

Why is sailing a top activity as a hen party idea or stag party idea? Because it has most of the required ingredients, combining a thrilling sport with stunning scenery, relaxation and the opportunity to get ashore to some great Solent yachting watering holes, some only accessible from the sea. Not only that but also there is the opportunity to gain some sailing tuition and possibly acquire a new interest. Another advantage is the fact that the group does not get fragmented but operates the yacht as a team with the skipper providing instruction as necessary. The 40 ft modern sailing yacht has wheel steering with stern swimming/shower platform.
What is included in the hen party uk and stag party uk yacht charter price?Accommodation on board is included in the price so there are no extra hotel bills to worry about and costs can be further contained by bringing much of your own food and drink. These trips are excellent value. A uk stag party and hen party weekend with Friday and Saturday night on board costs under £200 per person. This compares very well with other hen party ideas we hear of such as Barcelona £300 and French Grand Prix £500. A mid week day hen and stag party trip will cost just £65 per person.
Where will we sail to?For the overnight trips, we will berth you in one of the Isle of Wights quaint harbours and the skipper will leave you to enjoy your night ashore, rejoining you in the morning. Each yacht can take a crew of 8, 7 guests plus skipper or 8 guests if one is qualified to be skipper (see our Bareboat Charter page) and is equipped with showers, hot water, refrigerator, CD player etc.
Other detailsThese trips are suitable for people with no previous sailing experience. You are invited to sit back for the ride if you wish or get involved with sailing the yacht in which case considerable sailing knowledge and skills can be gained. The railway station at Lymington is just 10 minutes walk from the marina and links with London via the mainline station at Brockenhurst. For one hen party Bournemouth which is close by was chosen as the Saturday night venue due to its nationally renowned night club scene.

A typical intinery for a trip to Cowes with overnight stay, depending on tides, is as follows:

Day 1

Join the yacht in Lymington from 6pm onwards and stay on board overnight.

Day 2

9am - Quick trip to the renowned street market if tides permit.
10am - Safety briefing and prepare to sail.
Morning - Call in Yarmouth harbour followed by visit to Newtown Creek Nature Reserve anchorage for drinks, fishing, swimming, relaxing.
Afternoon - Carry on up the Solent practicing various sailing skills such as Man over Board recovery, sailing to buoys and anchor,navigation, sail trim etc.
Late afternoon - Arrive Cowes Yacht Haven which is close to the center of Cowes followed by celebration drinks. At this point you get let loose ashore for some well earned shore leave. There are many designer clothes and equipment outlets as well as the waterside restaurants and bars.

Day 3

Breakfast on board in the marina.
Return cruise to Lymington taking in the Beaulieu river upstream to Bucklers Hard in the New Forest for lunch at the famous old dockyard. Three of Nelsons warships which fought at the Battle of Trafalgar were built here from local oak.
Continuing westwards and depending on tides, the afternoon destination could well be Alum Bay adjacent to the Needles lighthouse for a final anchor stop.

Hen parties in the New Forest national park can be combined with other recreational activities in addition to the sailing to create a varied weekend. Favorites are horse riding, cycling and walking and we welcome enquiries. The horse riding involves a one hour or two hour walk out or hack across the moors. Cycling is a half day activity along wooded gravel tracks, possibly to a remote forest inne famed for its real ale. Walking can take as long as you wish. We know of numerous trails alongside rivers, though plantations, forest glades with deer reservations (there are four species of wild deer in the park), moorland and spectacular views of stately homes hidden away in the forest. The New Forest covers 70,000 acres.
