A yacht charter company run by keen sailors, providing a high quality service which can be tailored to your needs. Windward Sailing is based on both sides of the Solent, in Ocean Village, Southampton and at Cowes, on the Isle of Wight.  These bases give access to a wide variety of ports and small harbours, from Chichester in the east, to Lymington in the west, all available within a days sail. It is also an ideal starting point for crossing the English channel via Bembridge Ledge or the Needles.

Companies and organisations have made use of our expertise to organise corporate events, including participating in major regattas, for instance Cowes Week, or specific events such as the Little Britain Challenge.  We always endeavour to ensure that our clients gain maximum benefit from their sailing experience.  A full catering service is available ranging from, providing victuals for your yacht, to organising sumptuous seafood buffets.

Racing can be either bareboat or with a skipper on a variety of yachts including Sigma 38's through to a state of the art, 45ft. full on racing yacht.  We have had a great wealth of experience racing, both inshore and offshore through RORC including the Fastnet.  A rare opportunity is also offered for individual crew members to experience racing on "Grand Prix" yachts with experienced skippers.

We provide and charter a varied fleet of yachts, so with our skill and experience we can tailor your sailing requirements to the right yacht and the correct situation for your needs.  You may wish to charter a bareboat, or a skippered yacht either with your family or with a group of friends.  Alternatively, if you are unable to get a full crew together we can offer other sailing opportunities.  As an example,we can organise weekends sailing on one of our yachts, offering crew places to individuals.

Windward Sailing Yacht Charter can provide great sailing opportunities and will happily talk sailing with you. If you need advice or have specific ideas regarding your requirements please contact us.
