Description of Mark's sailboat
Sailboat Bavaria Cruiser 42 13m
Based in the central location of Town Quay Southampton, Nautical Dreams offers either bare boat or skippered charters around the Solent and Englands South Coast, which are considered some of the best sailing areas in the world. From Town Quay Marina, you can be sailing within minutes of leaving your berth, heading out to one of the many harbours within a days sailing, or anchoring in one of the picturesque bays, or picking up a mooring buoy on the Beaulieu or Lymington rivers. There are many places to visit. Choose from a fantastic weekend away, a relaxing week's holiday or something longer. We will be flexible and work with you to ensure a truly memorable stay. The light and airy saloon is the perfect place to relax after a hard days sailing with a fully equipped galley to look after all of your crew.A welcome grocery pack can be arranged. Nautical Dreams has something to offer everyone. She is very well presented and will comfortably sleep 6 in 3 cabins with 2 additional saloon bunks, taking the overnight compliment to 8.If you require a skipper, we would recommend a maximum of 6 guests, as a skipper would have one of the cabins. She is fully coded to RYA standards and has on board all necessary safety equipment for your crew. If sailing is new to you or you are a little rusty we would be happy to provide a skipper to show you the ropes. In addition we offer taster weekends so you can decide if sailing is for you. We will be on hand to welcome you aboard and provide a full handover and an information pack on the local area. We can also offer as much, or as little, help/assistance as you require, to make your stay onboard memorable for all the right reasons. Just let us know what you require. The minimum qualification we would require from the charterer is an RYA, or equivalent, Coastal Skipper. Also, we would require a minimum crew onboard of 3, with at least 1 of them having a competent crew qualification. If you do not have any qualification, we can provide a qualified Skipper. Please don't hesitate to contact us.

Lovely boat (Nautical Dreams), great condition, very comfortable below deck and all you need above deck - clearly marked. Mark has a relaxed, easy going manner and was a pleasure to deal with. Calmly explained all that was needed before setting off. Clear and speedy communication throughout. We had a fantastic few days with our novice sailing friends and will definitely come back again.
Beautiful, comfortable and well maintained boat. Mark made the charter experience smooth. Clear and timely communications and guidance, connected with an excellent skipper. Was amazing charter experience throughout. Definitely coming back.
Absolutely brilliant, would definitely charter from them again
What a fantastic charter! Thanks, Mark and Alison, we had a really great weekend on the lovely Nautical Dreams. She is a really well-maintained boat with plenty of space for a large group. More importantly, Mark and Alison were a delight to deal with - lots of helpful recommendations and excellent communication.
