Dream Yacht Charter's UK base in Port Hamble, Hampshire, is busy preparing to welcome guests in line with new guidelines which suggest bareboat yacht charters may be possible from early July.

Sailors will be able to select from the UK fleet of 20 monohulls ranging in length from 37 to 46 feet, all available for day charters in one of the UK's premier sailing areas. The base has this week welcomed back their Dufour 460GL, Oarsome Dream, which has spent the last seven-months in Antigua enjoying the Caribbean sailing season. In addition, Port Hamble is also home to a Merry Fisher 795 and a Zodiac Open 7 RIB for motor boat enthusiasts.

A day at sea will blow away the cobwebs of recent weeks and with weather forecasts looking good for the near future, now is the perfect time to book a charter, with prices starting at £480*.

With direct access onto the Solent, Port Hamble Marina is the ideal starting point for time afloat. In easy reach of the marina are the Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, Southampton and the Beaulieu River Nature Reserve. The coastline offers a multitude of coves and bays perfect mooring points for a floating picnic.
