expectations

On arrival at Universal Marina, Swanwick, near Southampton or your choice of embarkation port, you will be met by a member of our staff and escorted to your vessel. Tea and coffee, (or a welcome drink according to your requirements), will then be served whilst you take an initial look at your boat.

Your crew will then explain the safety features of your motor vessel, and outline the day's events, ensuring that the timetable matches your requirements.
As we depart Swanwick and move out along the River Hamble, you may chose to chat to your fellow passengers, relax on deck and watch the marine traffic, or a talk to your Captain, his duties permitting, to learn more about what lies ahead.

On reaching the Solent our course will depend on the itinerary you have chosen. But during the day there will be time to enjoy your chosen ports of call, with your motor vessel ready to move on when you are ready.

Here are some ideas;

• • • • •

To go ashore for a leisurely and well-deserved lunch; To revel in the sheer excitement of cruising in a luxury vessel , or cutting through the waves in your high-performance power-boat; To anchor in a quiet bay to talk about the day and drink in the scenery with friends, or to hold that all-important business meeting that was the reason you came on the trip in the first place; Or with the Skipper’s approval take the wheel and drive your luxury powerboat And finally to feel that sense of luxury and well-being that a day at sea can create.

In the late afternoon cruise back up Southampton Water into the River Hamble, to dock in Universal Marina. Time then for a last drink, with your captain and crew, before disembarking and heading back home, with some unforgettable memories.
