Special Events with Alice
Throughout the season Alice is involved in and available to charter for all sorts of special events. These are all at a slightly premium rate but, until we know exactly what you want to do and how many of you will be on board it, is difficult to give an exact price. Check later as more events will be added throughout the season!
Rib Adventures
As a member of the 4 Charter family www.4charter.co.ukwe have a full range of RIB adventures on offer - just look at the rest of this site and you will see all the things you could enjoy. These thrills can be part of any days you book on Alice, we have a hot water deck shower for when you come back on board Alice. The combination of Barge and RIB is an excellent one, the speed of the RIB contrasts so well with the sedate yet very powerful sailing experienced on Alice.
Easter
Fri 22th to Mon 25th April 2011What better than a 3 – 4 day real sailing cruise in a Thames barge – the tides are just right for an overnight stay at the head of Christchurch creek. Just by the sailing club. It really will be the most fantastic cruise.

Old Gaffers Festival
Friday 3rd June to Sunday 5th 2011.
This is an amazing event, time seems to have stood still for a few decades. We will take part in the Saturday race and be moored for 2 nights at the Hailing Jetty in Yarmouth Harbour. There are many events on shore which you can participate in; this is one of the best Island events, unhurried, low key and just fantastic. Call because so many have shown real enthusiasm for this festival and it would be a shame to miss it.
Midsummer on Alice
Tuesday 21st June 2011 a fantastic night out seeing sunrise at 0430
Round The Island Race
Sat 25th of June 2011.
Watch the finish of this amazing event from a grandstand position afloat; we will probably spend Friday night in Gun Wharf and set off first thing to Cowes. When we arrive we are likely to see the first boats returning for the finish at about 1000 The evening can be spent ashore enjoying the after race conversations in the pubs and sailing clubs. On Sunday late morning we will sail gently back to Gun Wharf arriving midday. This is a 1 and a half day charter and will be great fun, an event not to miss. Just call and agree the schedule you can enjoy at a price to suit your pocket.
Cowes Week
Saturday 6th August until Saturday 13th August 2011.If last year is anything to do by there will be 8,500 competitors ranging from Olympic and world class professionals to weekend sailors. In excess of 100,000 spectators come to watch the sailing, enjoy the parties and live entertainment. You can book the week or just a day for this fantastic event. We will moor in Cowes roads – all the racing can be seen as the yachts sail right past us. We have our own rib for transporting you to and from the shore. There are so many options: just call us and we can arrange just a day or the whole of Cowes week.
