How it works

Check membership availability

Step 1: Enquire and choose your membership

Tell us how you want to use the boat and we’ll guide you to the best option.

Step 2: Get qualified, if needed

You’ll require RYA Powerboat Level 2/ICC and a checkout on the boat. If you don’t have the qualification, we can arrange the course.

Step 3: Book and go

Use the boat as much as you like, with the ability to book up to 3 days at a time, so you can plan weekends, day trips and special occasions without overthinking it.

What’s included In Full Membership

Everything you need for a smooth day on the water, with costs kept simple and transparent.

  • Unlimited day usage (your membership is designed to be used)
  • Fair booking access for all members
  • Book up to 3 days at a time
  • Boats cleaned, refuelled and always ready
  • Fuel charged at cost (we fill the boat for you and charge what it costs us)
  • Fully serviced, insured, maintained
  • RYA Training Centre support (training arranged if you need it)

You can take the boat anywhere in the Solent, we just ask it’s returned to the marina before sunset.

What do members actually do?

 Membership is not just access to a boat, it’s access to better weekends. Picture a calm harbour cruise, a lunch stop by the water, a swim in the sun, then home in time for the evening. If you want more adventure, the Solent opens up a whole new set of day trips.

Lunch by boat

Moor up near a waterside pub and turn a normal lunch into a day out.

Beach and picnic day

Drop anchor, swim, picnic, repeat.

Solent day trip

Bigger water, bigger horizons, a proper day on the sea.
