Southampton

What it’s like

A private charter off Southampton for jet-skiing, paddle boarding and swimming at anchor, with the jet skis reserved for over-18s.

This one's a boat you book out for your group rather than a fixed trip with a timetable, and the day gets built around three things: jet-skiing, paddle boarding and swimming at anchor. The jet skis are the bit worth knowing about upfront, since they're restricted to over-18s, so if you've got teenagers in the group they'll be watching from the paddle board rather than having a go themselves.

Paddle boarding and swimming at anchor don't come with the same restriction listed, which makes them the more obvious activities to plan around if you've got a mixed-age group or younger kids along for the day. There's on-site food and vegetarian options covered, so nobody's relying on packed lunches, and party rooms suggest this works as a celebration setup as much as a straightforward day on the water.

Because it's a private charter, the shape of the day is really down to what your group wants rather than a fixed schedule you're slotting into. That's the appeal if you want flexibility, but it also means you'll want to have a proper conversation with them about what's included and what isn't before you commit anyone's Saturday to it.

Plan your visit

What do kids actually do on board?

Paddle boarding and swimming at anchor are the two activities open to younger ones. Jet-skiing is there too but it's over-18s only.

Can toddlers or young children come along?

There's no minimum age given, but the jet ski restriction to over-18s is the one firm rule listed, so it's worth asking directly what suits your youngest.

Is there food on board?

Yes, on-site food is available including vegetarian options, so you're not stuck bringing your own.

Can we book it for a birthday or celebration?

There are party rooms listed as part of the setup, which points to this working well for a group celebration rather than just a standalone trip.
