Typical daily itinerary

10.00: Guests will be greeted at Town Quay Marina, Southampton by your hostess and will be escorted to the boat where you will be served your choice of tea/ coffee or bucks fizz and Danish Pastries. Your skipper will take this opportunity to go through a short safety briefing.

10.30: Cape Velvet ” will slip her mooring and head into Southampton Water. Our marina is ideally placed near the main cruise ship terminals and we will take you on an “up close” tour of any cruise ships that are in berth.
After heading up Southampton Water we will power up into the Solent and head towards the nautical harbour of Portsmouth where we will take in the many sites ( Spinnaker Tower , HMS Victory, Naval Shipyard , Solent Forts)

12.30: If you have chosen to have lunch ashore, you will be dropped off in Cowes where the boat will await your return. If you have chosen to eat aboard we will anchor up in either picturesque Osborne Bay or in the stunning National Trust owned Newtown Creek. A buffet lunch (menu pre-agreed) will be served along with a choice of wine and beer. You will have the opportunity to swim or sunbathe or simply relax and take in the stunning scenery.

14.0: After lunch, we will power up again for an exhilarating blast to the most famous sight in the Isle of Wight , The Needles ! You will be able to get so close you could almost touch them. If weather permits we can arrange for a photographer to meet up with us in another boat and take some photos of you and your guests for a truly unique keep sake.

17.00: Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and so we will be heading back to our berth in Southampton . If we are lucky we will pass the big cruise ships as they head off on their trips. 

F1 Boat Charters start at a cost of £2250.00 + VAT.
