We have rented boats from Fairview exclusively because their fleet is consistently clean and well taken care of, but mostly because they are very easy to work with. They are respectful and communicat... See more

Congratulation

Hello, me and my crew really enjoied our last sailing in the Solent. The Fairview staff did a perfect job. Despite the age of our OC 37 (built 2012), the yacht was very well maintained and this despite the end of the sailing season. Again, thank you very much. I am already looking forward to my next sailing trip in the Solent. Of course I will charter a Fairview Yacht again.
kind regards
Yvonne from Switzerland

Great staff

Great staff. Always helpful. Easy to book and talk on the phone. Boats always clean and tidy. Boats well equipped with lots of navigation and safety kit. I have experienced quite a few technical issues on charters in the last year. Chartplotters not working, engine alarms sounding, frayed guard rails which tore clothing and a broken throttle cable. Sea start rescue is part of the package so this has helped greatly. To summarise they are a great company with fantastic staff and a good fleet of yachts. Technical errors are part of sailing but these need some attention.

Great service from Fairview

Fairview have always provided a great service for the events I have organised over numerous years. The yachts are always well presented and they sort out any issues straight away. Fairview have always been very accommodating and ensure the events run like clockwork and are successful.
The team are always on hand to show you the ropes if needed and have a pride in the service they provide.
I will continue to use them for all my sailing regattas in the future, thanks Fairview.

Fairview boats - a cut above the rest

Fairview boats are always well prepared, well equipped and everything (almost) always works. Handovers are quick and easy and Fairview staff are on hand to assist at return. I never charter from anywhere else.

Fairview member for 6 years.

I have been sailing on the membership scheme with Fairview for around 6 years. The boats are always immaculate, the cleaning crew deal with the boat at the end of every trip. Maintenance crew are meticulous. You are not attached to a single boat and can even use points with Dream Yacht charter globally (off to Croatia next year). Hassle free cost effective sailing at its best. Highly recommended.

Fairview continue to exceed expectations

I have chartered with Fairview on numerous occasions and without any hesitation I would highly recommend them. Their attention to detail, commitment to providing a first class service and in charter support is second to none and I can’t wait to charter with them again.
