Yacht Charter – top 10 places to visit by boat

Solent Yacht Charter

If you charter a yacht in the Solent for a weekend make sure you get to Lymington before the Saturday market finishes in the afternoon. Better still aim to arrive Friday night to be sure of the early bird bargains. We took our skippered charter yacht to Berthon’s Marina on Good Friday where we were bedazzled by the brand new shower facilities. What a change from the portacabins last year!

On Saturday morning the high street was bustling with day trippers as well as yachties giving a real holiday feel to the town even though it was bitterly cold. We trecked up the steep hill to the High Street where the market was already underway with a huge array of stalls selling everything from farmhouse cheeses to mimosa trees as well as every kind of Easter bunny you can imagine. I was very temped to buy a mimosa tree for the garden but tomorrow we would be sailing to the Channel Islands so maybe it wasn’t such a good idea. Thankfully my attention was soon drawn to the Italian Coffee Shop into which we were lured for coffee and the most fabulous carrot cake – mmmmm!
