Private day-charter from Portsmouth - any suggestions?

[Bobc]

A friend of mine is getting married in Portsmouth and is having their reception at Hayling Island Sailing Club, and she wants to take the wedding party round from Gunwarf to the HISC pontoon by motor boat (or boats).

There will be about 30 people in total, and it's at the end of September.

Does anyone know anyone in Gosport/Portsmouth/Chichester who does day charter of a big (or 2 big) motor boats that would be up for doing ths sort of job.

30 paying guests might be a bit ambitious for a single charter mobo, that's ferry territory, or 3x a typical big charter boat.

How about Seafin?

Very nice, we've used her a couple of times for company events. 30 should be fine.

<<EDIT>> Just checked the Seafin website and am slightly embarrassed to report that my group is featured in a couple of the headline photos, including a dodgy one of me. No connection, just a happy customer.

As has been mentioned already your normal charter boats are out I'm afraid. We like everyone else are limited to 12 guests and 3 boats will be expensive. 6 crew, 3 lots of base costs.


My first port of call would be Solent & Wightline

The have a base in Gunwharf Quays from where they operate harbour tours on a daily basis.

Rum Jungle is based in Lymington, so could easily pick up in Portsmouth, and can take up to 40 guests http://www.rumjungle.co.uk
