"We had the most wonderful day with CHARTR and couldn’t recommend them more highly. From the moment we booked, they created a personalised itinerary that was perfectly tailored to the ages of our children, making the whole experience feel incredibly thoughtful and special. We were collected from Ocean Village and anchored in Osborne Bay, where we had an amazing time paddleboarding and jumping off the boat into the sea. The boat itself is absolutely stunning; beautifully maintained, luxurious, and a real pleasure to spend the day on. The crew were exceptional: warm, friendly, and incredibly accommodating throughout. They made sure our glasses of rosé and mugs of oat milk flat whites were always topped up, allowing us to completely relax and enjoy the day. Every detail was taken care of, and it truly felt like a very special family experience. It was a birthday celebration we’ll all remember for years to come. Thank you CHARTR for creating such a memorable day…we can’t wait to book again!"

“An unforgettable day on The Solent onboard the stunning BIJOU. The skipper and host went above and beyond to deliver a genuinely luxury experience. We cruised to The Hut for a fabulous celebratory lunch for my Dad's 80th! Already thinking about our next booking. Would highly recommend CHARTR to anyone”

"We booked a sunset cruise with CHARTR for my sons 30th birthday celebrations. It was the perfect ending to our day. We anchored near the needles to watch the most amazing sunset whilst enjoying champagne and a delicious cheese and charcuterie platter. It couldn't have been any more perfect. The crew were incredible and really made the evening special for us. We all had a wonderful time and made unforgetable memories. We will be back."
