Itinerary For Foodies
YOUR MORNING
Your day on the water begins from a pick-up point that suits you. One of our skippers will meet you on arrival, walk you through the boat, and make sure everyone is comfortable with the safety brief before we cast off.
Once underway, we’ll set a course for the western Solent and enjoy an unhurried run past Cowes, Lymington, Yarmouth and Hurst Castle. It’s a stunning stretch of coastline and ideal for those first photo stops of the day.
Depending on your timings and reservation at The Hut, we can take a detour towards The Needles and Alum Bay. The backdrop here is exceptional, perfect for a swim, a little exploring, or simply taking in the views from the deck.
Afterwards, we’ll continue on to Colwell Bay where we’ll anchor. The Hut’s tenders will come alongside to collect you, leaving you to step ashore effortlessly for lunch.
LUNCH AT THE HUT
The moment you arrive, you’re greeted with that unmistakable beach-club atmosphere, sunshine, upbeat tunes and views across the Solent that could easily be the Med. Settle in with a drink and enjoy a long lunch overlooking the anchored boats.
If you’re torn on what to order, their Surf and Turf is a firm favourite for good reason.
YOUR AFTERNOON
After lunch, your tender will bring you back to the boat and we’ll raise anchor for a gentle cruise towards Newtown Creek. This sheltered nature reserve is one of the Solent’s quietest and most charming anchorages.
Here you’re free to paddleboard, swim, or simply drift and enjoy a drink on deck. Keep an eye on the shoreline, seals often appear around the entrance.
When you’re ready, we’ll set off for a smooth run back to your chosen drop-off point. Our skipper will help you ashore and assist with any belongings, rounding off a relaxed and memorable day on the water.
Book Your Foodie Charter
1. Get in Touch
Let us know the date you’re hoping to head out and how many guests will be joining you. From there, we’ll recommend the most suitable vessel for your group.
If your numbers exceed the capacity of a single boat, that’s absolutely fine. We can run multiple boats together for larger parties.
2. Reservation at The Hut
If you haven’t already secured a table, once your charter is confirmed we’ll contact The Hut on your behalf and arrange a lunch reservation for your group.
There’s no extra charge for us arranging your Hut reservation, though the cost of your meal isn’t included in the charter price.
3. Tailoring Your Day
If you have particular spots you’d like to see, or you’d prefer to start and finish somewhere other than Hamble Point Marina, such as Southampton or Lymington, just let us know. We’ll adjust the timings and route so the day fits your plans perfectly.
