“Excellent day on the Solent!”

Reviewed May 5, 2013

I booked Escape Yachting through Living Social as a surprise birthday present for my girlfriend and I must say we thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon out at sea! One thing to note (which I didn't really think about) is the relatively high winds which can make your afternoon just a little bit nippy, especially if you are in pink shorts or... More

“A great day out”

Reviewed October 21, 2012

I recommend this experience to anyone who loves the sea. The day out was great fun and the group bonded very quickly. Our skipper Nigel was very experienced and the meal and champagne were perfect. You can either sit and enjoy or get involved, it's entirely your choice. The waters got a bit choppy soon after dinner and unfortunately I... More

Thank you for taking the time to write this excellent review. I am pleased that you were looked after so well, particularly when you were feeling uncomfortable. Fortunately, it is quite rare that the sheltered waters of the Solent are choppy but our skippers are very good at making sure that they take the safest and least choppy course! Of... More

“Great time had by both of us”

Reviewed September 12, 2012

We booked Escape Yachting after a Groupon special offer we saw some time ago. Even though we later found out that you can buy it for the same price, we thoroughly enjoyed the time there. We shared the boat with 8 others, and we all had a cracking time, laughing, telling stories and drinking wine etc. The skipper was a... More

“A bit windy and a lot of fun”

Reviewed September 11, 2012

HIghly recommended. Bought as a surprise present for my Mum's birthday. I had envisaged a quiet leisurely sail, basking in the sunshine with a glass of bubbly..This it clearly was not, as the weather also had a say in it. It got a bit breezy and lively - and probably all the more enjoyable for it. Kirsty, the captain, had... More

Thank you for your review. I am so pleased that you had such a great time with Escape Yachting. Most of our guests have never sailed before, certainly not on a large luxury yacht, and are not quite sure what to expect. We work very hard to make people feel welcome and comfortable, you can get involved with sailing the... More

“6 out of 5 if I could...amazing day sailing and enjoying the good life!”

Reviewed September 10, 2012

Booked the yacht exclusively for my girlfriend's birthday for a Lunch sail, which included lunch. Everything from start to finish was amazing...from booking and having questions answered, Shani was responsive and professional, and she helped me booked flowers and a birthday cake too. When you get there, there's lots of parking...don't forget to wear non-black soled shoes onboard! Parking is... More
