Ever dreamed of swapping real life for lazing on a luxury yacht, your every holiday whim catered for? If so, look no further. Experienced sailors and hosts Caroline and Ben are ready to make your dream a memorable reality aboard Magic Time.

Your holiday setting is a beautiful 47-foot sailing yacht with full on-board facilities including comfy sofas, cosy cabins and even a projector for movie nights, in an exclusive stay that will be planned, skippered and hosted by Caroline and Ben.

Your days will consist of sailing around the picturesque Solent and south coast in whichever style you prefer. Take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life as you relax and unwind, soaking up the stunning coastal scenery under sail. Or, for the more daring kind, you may opt for an exhilarating hands-on adventure, taking the helm in every aspect of sailing: hoisting, steering, navigating and trimming the sails.

After your days on the water, perhaps you’ll choose to moor up in a quaint sailing village such as Lymington or Cowes to explore under your own steam, or take up Caroline and Ben’s excellent suggestions for places to explore and dine. Or, drop anchor for the night in a secluded bay where you can take an energising sea-dip as the sun sets and indulge in a spot of paddle-boarding with your favourite people.

Below deck, the yacht’s welcoming saloon features a large leather sofa to stretch out on, along with two cosy armchairs, ideal for chatting over drinks or simply curling up with a good book and a glass of wine. Ambient lighting, chic cocktail cabinets and an inside-outside sound system make this a wonderfully versatile space to enjoy just as you choose. The galley is equipped with everything necessary for Caroline and Ben to whip up delicious feasts aboard, if you so wish!

You’ll get a restful night’s sleep in two cosy double cabins, sleeping up to four guests. The forward master cabin boasts an en-suite toilet and shower room, while the aft cabin has a separate toilet and shower room. Two more guests can be accommodated on a drop-down double berth bed.

On deck you’ll find a large cockpit and table to sit comfortably whilst under sail or dine alfresco on a warm summer’s evening. There’s ample deck space to lie out and relax and an aft bathing platform for easy access to the water for those refreshing sea dips before a shower on deck to warm up after.

Things to note

Sleeps four, or two adults and 3 small children, in two double guest cabins. Minimum age: 8 years. Guests under 18 years must be accompanied by a full paying adult. It is advised that people with a chest size over 144cm may struggle to fit into the lifejackets provided. Spectators will not be able to see the yacht once it has left the marina as it will head out of the river to sea, but they are welcome to explore ashore in Hamble after departure. This experience may not be suitable for wheelchair users. Please let the crew know of any additional requirements (including accessibility and dietary requirements) at the time of booking so that they can help to accommodate your needs. The experience content, equipment used and restrictions may vary. Sadly, we are not able to accommodate pets.

Sailing is a fully weather-dependent activity and unfortunately, the ‘great’ British weather is not always on our side. Whilst we hope for good weather on the date(s) of your booking, if the forecast is suggesting heavy rain, we will contact you to offer you the option of re-booking for a brighter day. We would never risk taking customers sailing on a day when the wind and wave forecast is unsafe for sailing, so you should always be prepared for the chance that your experience may be cancelled by us. If we need to reschedule your booking, we will simply contact you to rebook for another day.

A detailed specification sheet for the yacht can be provided on request.
