What does a Charter Involve?
A typical charter will involve a day sailing to somewhere in the Solent for lunch, perhaps one of the clubs at Cowes or maybe dropping anchor in a quiet bay and enjoying lunch onboard before a late afternoon return to Gosport. For those of your guests who want to experience sailing a powerful offshore cruiser / racer this is a chance they will relish, but for those who wish to socialise there needs be no “press gang” as the boat is equipped with powered winches, furling sails etc. Longer charters involving over night stays can also be arranged.
How do we arrange a Charter?
Firstly, navigate to Lutine's Programme and choose the date that you would like to charter Lutine. Once a date has been selected, Click 'Go Sail' which will take you through to a charter booking form. Please complete all the form fields.

What does it Cost?
The day charter rate varies from £500 to £1,500 according to the season, this includes the skipper but will not include food and drink etc. The daily costs are set out on the website (refer to Lutine’s programme).
Club Skipper
Lutine is available on a skippered charter basis. Lutine must at all times be under the overall control of either the club's own employed skipper or of a club approved skipper from the list of approved skippers. Unless you specify the name of a club approved skipper that has agreed to assist you
for the charter, the club will provide either the club's own employed skipper or a club approved skipper for your charter."
There is no extra charge, it is an integral and legally necessary requirement that the charterer has a skipper that we approve or employ.
What Else?
The Club has an annual regatta for the insurance industry that is an opportunity to take on your peers. We also have some availability for Cowes and Cork Weeks. The Club’s annual dinner at the end of the season is a chance for crews to get back together, perhaps with partners and relive a good day out or a race in like minded company.
