The Cost of chartering our motor yacht in the Solent

The cost of chartering our boats depends on your specific needs and itinerary but as a very rough guide the Princess P50 flybridge starts from around £2,700 and the newer Princess F55 flybridge with gyro stabilisation starts from around £3,500 for a full day charter including skipper, hostess and fuel.

Traditionally charter costs are quoted exclusive of fuel, berthing, provisioning and other incidental costs. These are taken out of your APA or advanced provisioning allowance which is normally an additional 20% to 30% on top of the charter fee. However we quote an all inclusive figure for day charters once we know your exact requirements. There are no extra costs.

We can sometimes accommodate late notice charters. Call us on 07525 622268 to discuss your requirements.

Our Charter price includes:

  • Exclusive use of one our Princess flybridge motor yachts.
  • Commercially endorsed skipper and crew / hostess.
  • Drinks
  • All mooring fees incurred during your trip
  • Fuel *
  • Cleaning
  • Vat where applicable

What doesn’t the price include:

  • Any meals taken ashore
  • Damage done to the boat by you or your guests
  • Lost life jackets **

* Fuel – We include the cost of fuel in your charter when taking a typical itinerary. Should your chosen itinerary take us further afield we reserve the right to charge a fuel supplement. You will be made fully aware of any surcharge at the time of booking.

** For bookings to The Hut restaurant, Colwell Bay we are required to provide everyone with a life jacket for the tender journey ashore. Any jackets that are activated or lost / left behind will be charged at £100 plus Vat. It is the responsibility of the person making the booking to cover this on the day prior to disembarkation.

When considering outright ownership costs chartering makes a lot of sense. Spend your time on board enjoying the company of friends and relaxing rather than worrying about the technical aspects of arriving safely in one piece and getting moored up.
