Proud nautical heritage
The UK is a region with a long, proud maritime history, with England’s south coast home to dozens of port towns with rich nautical heritage. The Solent provides an exciting challenge for even the most seasoned of sailors.
Sailing from the Prometheus base at Port Solent allows easy access to the Isle of Wight, where you’ll find fine beaches, the famous Needles rock formation, the Cowes Week regatta and a pace of life that recalls the golden age of British seaside towns. Busy towns, quiet villages, popular race meets and the ever-changing nature of the sea mean that a sailing holiday on England’s South Coast always has something new to offer.

On a bareboat charter holiday, you’re in charge.
Portsmouth flotilla yacht charter
If you are looking for a more sociable aspect for your next adventure on the Solent, then a flotilla holiday could be just for you. Flotilla holidays offer a more informal, relaxed and unique experience for families, couples and groups, and can also be adapted to your sailing experience by having a skipper on board. Relish your free time by having your sailing itinerary planned ahead of your trip, along with the added support of our lead crew to help you truly unwind.
