Our fleet of RIBs are based at Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth, althouth we operate throughout the whole of the Solent, and often further afrield. Many of our boats are MCA Catagory 4 coded, which allows us to operate up to 20 miles from a safe haven anywhere around the coast of the UK (the ones that are not are local area coded to operate in the Solent).
Our customers range from ocean racing teams, to families, and corporate clients.
Whilst with us, your safety, comfort, productivity, and enjoyment are our priority. We will do our best to make sure your time on the water is highly enjoyable and productive, and as such we are confident that you will join our long list of regular customers, which include:
Dee Cafari Racing, Alex Thompson Racing, Offshore Challenges, Land Securities, BBC, Bear Grylls, Greenpeace and RIB International.
Prices:
VAT: Charters are normally zero rated for VAT depending on the exact nature of the job and the boat used. If VAT is applicable we will advise you at the time of booking.
Please note the prices below are flat dailing rates. Everything is included in this price; there is nothing else to pay. That includes the boat, skipper, offshore waterproofs and lifejackets, fuel, and mooring fees (for one short stay per day at a location of your choice). Unlike the majority of other charter companies we offer a flat rate meaning there are no nasty extras to pay for at the end of the day. Our prices may seem a little more expensive than our competitors, and it is for this reason. When booking a powerboat charter, always check wether fuel and landing fees are included.
Hourly rate: £150.00
Half day: (0900-1300/1300-1700): £450.00
Full day: (0900-1700): £675.00
The boats: All of our boats are supplied unbranded. We can apply your brand to a boat for a small extra charge. All boats are fully insured, licensed and carry a fully compliment of safety gear that you will find on any commercial vessel. All of our skippers are fully MCA/RYA skippers.
