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.uk we 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.

Yarmouth Old Gaffers Festival: http://www.yarmoutholdgaffersfestival.co.uk/
Friday 4th June to Sunday 6th 2010
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.
Round the Island race: http://www.roundtheisland.org.uk/
Sat 19th June 2010
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.
Midsummer on Alice
Sunday 20th - Tuesday 22nd June 2010
Sunday is Fathers day Join Alice on Sunday sail to the Folly Inn on the Medina, anchor there and celebrate the day with an evening meal at the Folly perhaps you could persuade Dad to participate and dance on the table. Spend the night on board, sail around the Solent on Monday returning in the afternoon to Trinity Pier at Cowes. What a fantastic midsummer morning to wake up at sea on board Alice to the sunrise at about 0400 and sailing back to Gun Wharf gently during the day.
