Southamton Land, Sea and Air Event

With Europe’s largest fleet of Ribs and the market leading provider of Rib Charter your event is sure to go off with a splash!

Operating out of the excellent and exclusive seafood restaurant bar in Lymington Yacht Haven, enjoying panoramic views over the Solent, the day will be non-stop action punctuated only by excellent food and finished with a Pimms prize giving reception.

Using either Sunseekers or for ultimate thrill, Ribs, the 4×4’s of the sea, you will spend half a day speeding across the Solent in tight formation going from port to port for fiendish challenges as part of a Treasure Hunt, or to just enjoy the spectacle.

Ashore, we have the ultimate driving challenge: Private use of one of the UK’s most exciting purpose built 4×4 courses with the all time legendary off road machine – the Landrover Defender. Each participant will receive full instruction and have ample opportunity to drive.

Step from the Landrover into a twin engine Squirrel for an aerial tour of that most famous of landmarks, the Needles, together with Hurst Castle, Alum Bay, the ancient port of Yarmouth with the UK’s longest wooden pier and the Castle guarding the Harbour before flying back.
