Welcome to Southwest Yachting, a leading sailing school located in Salisbury. Southwest Yachting offers a range of services tailored to meet the needs of both beginner and seasoned sailors. With our experienced and knowledgeable instructors, you can embark on a sailing adventure that suits your preferences and skill level.

Our UK charters allow you to explore the beautiful Solent, with stops at popular destinations such as Hamble, Cowes, Lymington, or Yarmouth. For those seeking a more adventurous experience, you can also cross the Channel and sail to Normandy, Brittany, or the Channel Islands. Our Westcountry cruises are our speciality, offering breathtaking views and unforgettable memories. Whether you prefer a skippered or bareboat charter, we have options to suit your requirements.

At Southwest Yachting, we offer RYA Practical Courses throughout the year. Our courses provide comprehensive instruction and hands-on experience to help you develop and enhance your sailing skills. To book a course or check availability, you can contact us via email at martin@southwestyachting. Com or call us on 07831 644394.

If you're interested in participating in thrilling races, our racing programme includes the iconic Round the Island Race. With up to 1500 yachts competing, this race around the Isle of Wight is the largest racing fleet in the world. Join us for the spectacle of the year and be part of the excitement.

Corporate partners have a unique opportunity to promote their company and enjoy exclusive benefits. Our 'Corporate Partner' package offers 6 days of corporate hospitality or team building, allowing you to entertain up to 36 guests/employees. One of these days can be taken during Cowes Week, where our beautiful Bavaria 38, 'White Oryx IV,' will be berthed in Cowes Yacht Haven. Benefits of the package include branding on the hull of 'White Oryx IV,' corporate flags and crew shirts with your company logo, a web link from our website to your company website, and a 15% corporate discount on RYA Practical Courses for your employees.

Southwest Yachting also offers daily corporate events tailored to suit your needs. Whether you prefer a leisurely sail in the Solent with lunch at one of the marinas or a more adventurous match racing experience, we can create a memorable event for your team.

We pride ourselves on maintaining a fleet of yachts that meet the highest safety standards. All our yachts are coded to the safety standards specified by the Marine Coastal Agency (MCA). Our fleet is among the finest in the Solent, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable sailing experience.

Team building activities on a yacht are an excellent way to foster teamwork and improve group dynamics. From senior board directors to junior admin staff, we offer team building packages that cater to your specific objectives. Let us help you create a cohesive and productive team.

If you're interested in starting your yachting journey, we invite you to join one of our “Start Yachting” weekends in 2023. These weekends include two days of sailing in the Solent, an overnight stay on the Isle of Wight, and the opportunity to earn an RYA Start Yachting Certificate of competence. Additionally, new clients who enjoy the experience will receive a 15% discount on RYA Competent Crew and RYA Day Skipper courses taken in 2022.

During these challenging times, Southwest Yachting prioritises the safety and well-being of our customers. We strictly follow all RYA/Government guidelines regarding Covid-19. Our courses and skippered charters are running with reduced numbers (3:1 ratio), and if you are a group booking from one household, the new ratio will not apply. Please note that the ratio can change up to a maximum of 5:1, depending on the latest guidelines.
