We will be happy to discuss any ideas you might have for your particular adventure to try to ensure that you and your guests experience a special time on board Salamander of Lymington. No Charter Day is the same, but a typical schedule for a day sail could be as follows:-

09:00 - you will be greeted on board Salamander by the skipper and crew, including your steward or stewardess. Your party will be offered coffee and pastries and a brief introduction to Salamander Sailing Adventures and her circumnavigation of the world. Then after a safety briefing and introduction to the layout and facilities on board, the crew will prepare your guests and Salamander for departure.

Salamander will depart at approximately 10:00 and proceed to her destination, either under sail or motor, or a combination of both as the weather and tides permit.

Refreshments will be available throughout the day. Anyone who wishes to take an active part will be encouraged to get involved when it is safe to do so. Previous sailing experience will not be necessary. Alternatively you can simply sit back and enjoy your company and the views.

Lunch on board Salamander at anchor, prepared from fresh local seasonal produce, when possible, or ashore by prior arrangement.

During the afternoon there will be the opportunity for a further sail or motor.

Arrival back in Lymington will be around 16:00, which will give those with onward travel arrangements, plenty of time.

Alternatively, your Adventure might on return to port go on to include afternoon tea in the pilot house saloon, followed by a champagne sundowner on deck, when you will be able to relax and recount your day’s sail, followed by a meal specially arranged for you on shore at a well-known restaurant.

We can also arrange local accommodation for you if you wish.
