Singles Sailing Holidays

Symphony have an excellent track record in singles sailing weekends, in 2006 over 150 singles took to the water with us. Many of those came back for more.

We believe we have developed the right balance of social interaction and sailing to give you a fantastic weekend on the yacht and having time in harbour with new friends. Sailing a yacht is teamwork and everyone gets involved under the care of our RYA qualified instructors - your skippers.

Typical itinerary:

Arrive Friday evening to be welcomed by skipper and stow your gear. A few drinks aboard acts as an ice breaker before dinner ashore.

Saturday morning your skipper will give the required safety briefing and you'll be heading out into the Solent.

The skipper will coach you through the basics of sailing until lunch which will be a light bite, usually at anchor. From then on you will be sailing the yacht as a team - our skippers rarely take the wheel.

After the day's sailing, we enter Cowes where there is time to visit the many shops before heading further up the river to the Folly Inn. This award winning venue is considered to be the place for a Saturday night. Superb food and entertainment, with dancing on tables a must.

Sunday starts gently, with the yacht leaving about 10:00. Once back on the Solent, we head towards Southampton and the River Hamble, or the River Beaulieu for lunch. Then it's plain sailing towards our home port. We plan to arrive back in harbour around 16:00. For those who have transport to catch, they can get away at a reasonable time. For the rest, we pop to the local pub by the marina for a last drink before everyone heads home.

For Bank Holiday weekends, it is normal to visit Yarmouth or Lymington on Sunday, with a cruise to the Needles as part of the day's sailing.
