We had a great time on Empowered, the whole family really enjoyed themselves and it was nice to be able to get some sailing in. Please pass on our gratitude to Richard, who is an excellent skipper and taught us all a thing or two, it certainly re-ignited my passion to do a bit more sailing.

Just to say many thanks to Hamble Point, and to Leigh in particular, for a great day’s training yesterday – exactly what we were looking for, and very pleasantly delivered.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Roland for looking after my son and husband so brilliantly this weekend. The course was their Xmas present from me and they absolutely loved it. John specifically said how nice Roland was and really appreciated how well they were looked after and instructed. Thank you. I don't doubt you will be seeing them again!

Brian and I enjoyed our course very much. Steve Penn is an excellent instructor – patient, decisive, clear in his explanations, encouraging and with a brilliant sense of humour – he needed it to put up with us! I certainly feel more confident in my ability to sail and now need to go and practice, practice, practice. I was also very impressed with the way the Bavaria 36 handled.

4 dinghy sailors have just had an excellent weekend yacht sailing in the Solent. We chartered Appaloosa, a Bavaria 36 sailing yacht from Hamble Point Yacht Charters from Friday morning to Sunday afternoon. The booking process was easy and straightforward, and the special low season discount made the weekend good value for money. The yacht itself, was in excellent condition, and the layout below is very sensible for cruising. She was well equipped and I would recommend her to anyone wishing to cruise the South Coast. We 4 adults had plenty of room, although she could take up to 8. Based at Hamble Point meant very easy and quick access to the Solent, and the Ketch Rigger cafe in the marina is a handy place for a crew to assemble while a skipper takes over a boat. We experienced wind F 5-7 most of the time during our weekend, with regular gusts up to F 8 and 9, and even F 10 at one stage. At no time did anyone feel that the yacht was not up to it.

Roland was excellent as usual and I’ll be back!

J Murphy

The 3 day 170 nm cruise allowed me to hone my day & night passage planning & pilotage skills knowing the ever dependable Roland was at hand to offer tips, improvements & encouragement. I thoroughly recommend HPYC & Roland. Especially his toasties!!

Good school, reliable and effective.

We had a fantastic day sailing to Cowes and back. We have zero experience but our captain Roland was so patient and gave all of us the experience if a lifetime sailing in the Solent - we can't wait for our next trip!!!!

S Dineen

Professional and friendly and we had a great time on the course but would add that Ian was fantastic. I would want to do my Day Skipper with him that's for sure.

Alex [the skipper] did a great job!

[I] Booked an introduction to sailing (weekend course) with Hamble [Point Sailing School]. The experience was fantastic and I learned much more than the basics thanks to Alex. my instructor and the team. They were patient and generous with their time and knowledge and really nice people. I hoped to like sailing after my weekend - the experience exceeded my expectations and I loved it and will be back to do the Competent Crew Course next. I highly recommend this to anyone thinking of trying sailing.

Thank you Alex for an unforgettable introduction to sailing. I went into the weekend hoping to like sailing and have come away loving it. See you soon for the Comp Crew. I also want to thank Josh and Debs for making the weekend such fun and so informative. Thanks guys!

The best fun week I have had in a long time. Thank you to all at Hamble Point Sailing School for making it so much fun!

D Fry

and Angus, the Instructor, was very good

We were made to feel incredibly welcome when we arrived. This approach is vital when trying to attract new people to sailing as it can often be seen, from the outside, as difficult to access.

AC

A fabulous weekend sailing with Alex as skipper. An easy and relaxing trip to Poole and back. It was lovely to have the boat fully provisioned for us, and to be able to eat our evening meal on board, whilst making new friends. There was opportunity for us to do as much or little as we wanted to, navigating, helming, working on fore deck etc. The boat (Spirit) was well equipped for us, as are all the Hamble Point Yacht Charter & Sailing School boats.

LH

A weekend sailing. Very efficiently organised and really friendly. You felt like you were in a very safe pair of hands. I'd highly recomend them for your sailing trips.

S White

Thank you very much! Thank you again for the fantastic tuition last week. I learnt so much from [Alex.]. [Her] calm and patient manner made a massive difference and really helped my confidence.
