A Wonderful Sailing Experience in the solent

The boat was beautifully maintained and in excellent condition, it was amazingly comfortable onboard. safety and comfort had been considered.
We really enjoyed our trip; the customer service was also great, and we felt really welcome.
We will hire again from FairView Sailing and recommend to our friends.

Our second charter!

This is our second charter from Fairview Sailing in a Dufour 38. The first time the boat was brand new and perfect. The second time (this time) 2 years on the boat was just as good. Charlie and Prue at Fairview were super and went the extra mile to help. As skipper I especially appreciated Charlie helping us on and off the dock as we were double handing. We will definitely be back. Thank you Prue too for returning our family cribbage board that we left in the boat by mistake! Great service all round from friendly faces.

Highly recommended even if you've never sailed before

Highly recommended. Boat was perfectly maintained and spotless. Booking was easy and office staff very friendly and went out of their way to tailor everything to our wishes. As we had no sailing experience whatsoever, they found a great skipper for us which meant we could literally turn up, relax and have fun. Pricing was also very fair and compared to having two hotel rooms that we'd normally need for our holidays, the trip ended up being excellent value. Could not have asked for more.

I've always liked chartering from Fairview at Port Hamble Marina. They are on the ball, have the answers to almost any problem and maintain their boats to a very high standard. Good value for money.

Boat club new member

Having sold my 33ft Beneteau I joined the club. Very happy. I know exactly how much my sailing now costs and that everything is in good order so no more worries of ownership. Very happy with the company and all the staff so far.

Another great charter from Fairview Sailing

We had a one-day charter through Fairview Sailing in early July when lockdown guidelines prevented us from a weekend charter. Fairview were, as always, extremely helpful with the booking. The boat itself was clean with all equipment in full working order. We have sailed with Fairview before and would thoroughly recommend them.

Excellent service from start to finish

Excellent service from start to finish, which included finding an emergency berth for us when we had to come back one evening and drop off one of the crew with very bad seasickness. Would definitely charter with them again.

Fantastic consumer experience

From the moment we spoke to Prue, the charter experience was excellent. From booking to check in to overall boat service and had back the team made it effortless.

There is no other charter company in the il I’d consider. Brilliant!
