Drop anchor in the Isle of Wight’s Osborne Bay, world famous for its yacht racing. Go go ashore for a spot of lunch (meals/drinks are not included) and relax and then cruise back across the Solent and Southampton Water.

High-speed cruise on your return trip heading to Southampton. 

Return to Ocean Village Marina where you can reflect back on a great day on the water.
