"Upon arriving on board I was made very welcome and felt immediately at ease, this continued throughout the week.
The quality and quantity of food was a pleasant surprise.
The cruise itself was a constant delight from start to finish and full of interest for a novice offshore man such as myself. All in all a very enjoyable and interesting week and I hope to be contacting you again soon.

thanks again

Corporate Events

Impress and entertain your clients with corporate sailing events,  Company Entertainment, and Team Building Activities. Sail our luxury Classic Yacht and spend exciting days, on an adventure sailing holiday, cruising in the Solent including a gourmet lunch either afloat on Annabel J's wide decks or luxurious saloon; or ashore at one of the many historic waterside hotels/restaurants. Alternatively enjoy the spectacular Round-the-Island race: Our skipper who is a veteran of over 20 year's yacht racing will take you on this unforgettable cruise in the company of over 1500 other yachts. Cowes Week is another event not to be missed. You can enjoy watching the world-class racing from Annabel J's decks accompanied by cocktails and a buffet lunch.

Yacht Charter for Large Groups For larger groups such as a corporate sailing event, we can organise additional Classic yachts with a similar specification and performance.  Having 2 or more well matched classic Gaff Cutters to put through their paces, adds a new exciting dimension to corporate events, as the guests work hard to gain the advantage in informal races with the other teams.
