Yacht Charter Management
Hamble Point Yacht Charters – Yacht Management Scheme
With Yacht Charter Management, your yacht is added to our charter fleet. Your yacht will be professionally cared for and either:
- with standard Yacht Charter Management, you will receive an income from charter usage to help offset maintenance and other bills; or
- with subscription Yacht Charter Management, you pay a low monthly fee leaving us to pay all the maintenance bills and running costs for your yacht from any charter income – we even take the hit on any surprise bills. *This option is only available to newer yachts.
In either case, we will manage the marketing and the administration of the charter enquiries and bookings. Your yacht is still available for you to use, whenever she is not on charter. This means that you can get the maximum benefit from your ownership, whilst ensuring that your yacht makes a significant contribution to paying her own way when you are not using her.
How it Works
We ask you to notify us of the dates you plan to use your yacht. These dates are then reserved for you and your boat will be ready on your arrival so you can just sail away. If you wish to sail at short notice, there is no problem, but we do ask that you call us to check we have not taken any last minute bookings. When the yacht returns to the marina we will check her over, thoroughly clean her and oversee any remedial work required or any additional work that you may wish us to attend to.
Additional Services
We can arrange berthing at Hamble Point Marina on a walk-ashore berth and can provide you with a competitive commercial marine insurance quote. We can carry out all routine maintenance and servicing, as well as the annual winter haul out and refit, working with reputable local companies to ensure that quality is maintained and that work is followed through to satisfactory completion.
If you prefer, you may also opt to carry out some or all the annual maintenance or other work on your yacht yourself rather than us arranging for it to take place.
Standard or Subscription Yacht Charter Management?
Our Standard Yacht Charter Management programme offers you complete control of expenditure on your yacht. We will identify and recommend maintenance or servicing work that needs doing, and you are free to accept our quotes or source your own.
Our Subscription Yacht Charter Management programme offers the best peace of mind for any charter owner. The fixed monthly fee depends on the size of your yacht, but ALL running costs including berthing and insurance, maintenance and repair work are covered – so there are no unexpected costs or surprises.
If you don’t want your yacht to be chartered, but would like someone to look after it on a daily basis, consider our Guardianage option.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Nice boat in fantastic condition even if it was quite old (2003). We enjoyed sailing in the Solent and the tips issued by Hamble Point Yacht Charters. We will come back.
I chartered a 32 ft with Hamble Point Yacht Charters for a weekend with a friend. the boat was good and Hamble point location is great to get out in the Solent quickly and and for a beer in Hamble at night. Staff at Hamble point Charter was very pro and friendly
The team had a great time on the boat. The staff were fantastic and very welcoming throughout the day. The mid-afternoon stop was also a welcome & pleasant surprise. The jet skis were fantastic, the food & drink were great too. We will most likely be coming again soon.
The yacht was in perfect condition. Josh made a great ship handover. Unfortunately, the modern yachts are no longer designed to be seaworthy. The self-tacking jib cannot be trimmed properly. But otherwise we had a great week. My crew was eager to learn and could take home many valuable experiences. I love the Solent and I'll definitely be back.
I was a bit apprehensive about doing my competent crew course .... I’m normally a feet firmly on dry land kinda girl but my trip thoroughly exceeded expectations! I went alone on an all women crew & quickly realised you are never alone on a boat.... we bonded very quickly over a refreshment the first night! I was kitted out with wellies & waterproof clothing & beds on board were chosen... surprisingly comfortable. I was amazed at the quality of food we ate ... proper full English breakfast to set us up the first morning .... which was a blessing in the wet & wind! Alex, our yatchmaster put us all at ease talking us through the course. I hadn’t realised we would moor beside such good showers every night altho I admit I didn’t shower every day ! 🤣 I learnt so much on the course, weather, wind, knots, helming, tacking, mooring! We dealt with fog, anchor chains, going up the mast (not normal!), man overboard (not literally!) & all the time Alex was very clear, professional & super friendly always encouraging us along the way. I can’t recommend Hamble point sailing enough, and a trip to the Isle of Wight.... I hadn’t realised how beautiful it was!
Thank you all for the well prepared Aeolus. Hope to charter her again next Spring and probably this autumn.
Hassle-free check-in with adjacent free parking about 50m from the boat so we could start enjoying our accommodation-only 2 night stay. Marina facilities are excellent, the location ultra-quiet at night, the boat was spotless, and essential start-up supplies helpful. We lucked out on weather with sun and shorts at the end of March by the Solent for the weekend. I highly recommend Alex and her boats for a stay on the water.
As usual excellent service from the team at Hamble Point Yacht Charters. This must be about the 7th or 8th time and always great! Finally made a visit to Chichester and had a great time there and back. Technical problem with the boat in Cowes heading back but no big deal. All sorted out with Sea Start...
My go to charter company on the south coast for the past 15 years, very professional, their yachts are always well prepared. I'll be back in April and then again in October.
Having a charter option immediately available with Hamble Point Yacht Charters gave our client the confidence to purchase their first yacht. Charter Management reduced the financial risk for the client and I don’t think we would have closed the sale without the client having the reassurance of a charter income.
We can recommend Hamble Point Yacht Charters on all points. Marvelous service, good price, great boats. An absolute winner!!
Just finished a fabulous week in the Solent with two friends. The chartered boat was in very good condition, considering she was quite elderly. Being the end of the season there were a few scratches on her hull, which were pointed out by the staff. However, the interior and engine were in first class condition, everything was ship shaped and worked. Bembridge then Yarmouth back to Buckler's Hard, finally returning to the Hamble. Winds mainly from either S or N of F3/6, just perfect sailing. Certainly, in the future, hope to repeat this experience with a very well run organised Charter.
Thank you for everything, certainly hope in the near future to charter again, and pleased to recommend the efficient way your organisation works
We charter regularly from HPYC and always find the boats are clean, well maintained and properly equipped. The handover and briefing process is always efficient and thorough so we get away quickly and we know support is available if there are any difficulties. The marina location is also a great plus, giving easy and quick access to the Solent with options to go east or west depending on the tides. All of the team at HPYC are very friendly and helpful and we really appreciate the great service they provide.
Thoroughly enjoyed the week. Four days sailing with Leigh as skipper; made up the itinerary as we went along - across to Cowes then down to Lulworth Cove and back. Several of us have sailing experience but did not have the experience to navigate the tides and currents of the south coast. Leigh was brilliant - quickly got us doing all the work within our own abilities and his knowledge and experience was exceptional. Knew his stuff. Great fun and pretty good value for money all once you divided it up between the seven of us. Not quite enough storage for all the beer however...
