FlexiSail Yacht Fat Lady. For some, sailing comes naturally!

Our Solent bases are located in Hamble, the centre of the Solent (close to Southampton), and Lymington, the jewel of the Western Solent. These are the two premier locations in the Solent which in itself is the centre of UK yachting and motor cruising. You are neither tide nor weather dependent and have the best facilities that any marinas can offer.

On the East Coast we are based in the picturesque Orwell river marina at Woolverstone, close to Ipswich, a great location from which to explore the area.

With FlexiSail, you will enjoy exclusive membership on a beautiful boat that is fully kitted out with every detailed consideration to give you a comfortable and enjoyable sailing experience. You will become one of only a select few members, plus the owner, who like you, will have a pride of ownership and will enjoy yachting at it’s best, knowing that the boat you are a member on is being professionally managed and cared for. Gone is the financial stress and constant worry of private ownership. We lift the responsibility off your shoulders so that you and your family or friends can enjoy being on the water whilst we take care of the rest – and all at a cost for less than you would imagine, representing unparalleled value!

Perhaps, like many of our new members, you are looking for a supported, safe and relatively inexpensive way into yachting. We provide just that. Our ‘hand holding’ approach ensures that you can set out with the skills, competency and confidence on your own FlexiSail boat, where you can take pleasure in the freedom and fun that sailing or motor cruising can bring. We are, of course, a fully accredited RYA practical and shore-based training school, FlexiSail Training (Solent Nautical College Ltd) and are here to meet all the training needs of our members as its first priority.Our own training programme has proved to be  very successful with most new members opting to take advantage of it over the standard RYA courses.

FlexiSail is such a good way to ‘dip your toes in the water’ (literally!) and to see if your friends and family enjoy the experience – having tried it we believe that they will want more! Importantly we are able to facilitate members meeting each other, having fun and socializing, which all adds another dimension!

Being on the water, whether on a yacht or a motor boat, is a fantastic way to relax away from the normal stresses of life, and is something you can use to bring family and friends together.

We very much look forward to welcoming you on-board.
