Special Events

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!

The most fantastic week, Friday afternoon we will sail down to Yarmouth mooring alongside at about 1800, The full festivities of the YOGAF weekend will be available, Saturday morning will be the Old Gaffers race with much  added excitement as the 1800 or so boats in the Round the Island race will be passing.  Saturday evening is the prize giving with excellent bands play from  the tent.  Sunday about midday we will set of back to Portsmouth – a great weekend and with the Summer bank Holiday to follow on Monday

Mon 15th ­– Fri 19th July Cowes Classic Week http://www.cowesclassicsweek.org

This will be fantastic, watch all the classic boats racing from the deck of Alice sailing in the Solent.  Take part in the evening events and watch and board all the classic yachts moored for the week in Cowes.  Just call – perhaps just a day would suit you, maybe the whole week.  We will be sailing the Solent each day anyway so Thames sailing barge experience will be something you will have had a thoroughly foretaste of .

 Sat 3th - Sat 10th Aug Cowes week   http://www.aamcowesweek.co.uk
