SKIPPERED YACHT HIRE
LET US MANAGE THE YACHT, WHILST YOU SIT BACK AND ENJOY IT
The appeal of skippered yacht hire is simple: someone else is in charge of the boat. While the skipper navigates, manages safety, and handles the seamanship, the guests focus entirely on the experience. No charts, no tides, no weather decisions – just the Solent, the company, and a day that unfolds beautifully because it’s being managed by someone who knows exactly what they’re doing.
WHAT A SKIPPER ACTUALLY BRINGS TO THE DAY
A good skipper doesn’t just drive the boat. They know where to go and which routes catch the Isle of Wight coastline at its most dramatic. The skipper onboard Oceanus brings years of experience on the Solent, an intimate knowledge of its moods and its highlights, and a quiet professionalism that makes the entire day feel effortless.
Oceanus is a luxury Sunseeker, fully refurbished in 2022 and based at Ocean Village Marina in Southampton. Accommodating up to 12 guests, the yacht is skippered by an experienced professional who manages everything from navigation and safety, to the practical running of the charter, while the rest of the crew focuses on hospitality.
For morning departures, a champagne reception and breakfast platter are available to start the charter with a taste of luxury that sets the tone for the day. Catering throughout is flexible, from light buffets to fine dining with a private chef, or a charter to a nearby marina for a meal at a restaurant of your choice. Our Technohull chase boat and a plethora of water toys are on hand for those who want to get more active on the water.
WHO SKIPPERED YACHT HIRE IS FOR
Anyone who wants to spend a day on a luxury yacht on the Solent without the responsibilities of running one. Which, in practice, is most people. The skipper removes the only barrier between a group of guests and a perfect day – the complexity of managing the vessel itself.
For corporate groups, skippered yacht hire means the host can be fully present with their clients rather than half-distracted by the logistics of the boat. For private groups celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or any special occasion, it means everyone can actually enjoy it, including the person who organised the day. Skippered yacht hire with Oceanus is the most relaxed, most enjoyable, and most impressive way to spend a day on the Solent.
