We can provide a range of yachts for yacht racing, tuition, skippered charter, bareboat charter, corporate entertainment and cruises on the right vessel for you. Below are our current selection of yachts available for charter.

All prices include skipper, breakfast, soft drinks, wet weather gear and safety gear. Please enquire for small groups or longer charters.

Reflex 38

The Reflex 38 is a racer cruiser built in 1999. They are sleek racers to look at, and fast on the water, but stable enough to be handled by amateur crew.

As a fleet of 10, they have plenty of evenly matched competitors to pit themselves against at the major racing events, and for corporate days up to 6 identical boats can be arranged for private competition.

Below decks the Reflexes are simple and practical, with a double cabin in the forepeak and up to eight berths in the open-plan cabin. For racing events they sleep up to 10 (including skipper and mate); however, our RYA sailing courses do not have more than five crew plus a skipper on board.

See our corporate events page for further details.

As part of our ongoing fleet renewal, we have a Reflex 38 for sale. Please contact Anna on 07710 170370 or email at info@bluespirityachting.com for details.

Swan 51 'Star Chaser'

Experience a luxurious skippered charter aboard this beautiful Swan 51, recently refurbished to the highest standards.

Join one of the scheduled cruises as an individual, or charter the whole boat and make your own itinerary. You can choose to relax while the skipper and crew attend to your every need, or get fully involved in sailing the yacht.

Starchaser shares her design heritage with successful racing yachts, but has the benefit of a sumptuous interior. She can sleep 12 people in 4 cabins, but is able to take more crew for racing, and will take less for cruising.

She is equipped with state of the art navigation, communication and entertainment equipment, as well as every domestic amenity for your stay on board.

Starchaser has an itinerary that includes racing in the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers, Caribbean cruising and racing, Antigua-UK and the brand new RORC offshore Caribbean 600 race; she spends the summer in the UK.

The Caribbean 600 starts on the 23rd February 2009 off Fort Charlotte outside English Harbour, Antigua and takes the fleet to the north passing a mark off Barbuda, the islands of Nevis, Saba and St Barths, to circle St Martin before heading down to Guadeloupe as the most southerly point, then back up to a mark off Barbuda before returning to finish in Antigua - a total of 605 nautical miles.
