  Want to get out and about in the Solent?Whether you are wanting to explore the creeks and estuaries of the Isle of Wight, saunter around the River Hamble or River Beaulieu, visit Gunwharf Quay or take a trip over to Chichester. Why not get there aboard Bluetooth. She has also been used for race management support, spectator events, RIB training and corporate days. Bluetooth is a 7.3m Coastline RIB suitable for 8 passengers and we offer half, full and multiple days Bareboat charters from Hamble Point Marina in Southampton. Charters are £250 half-day or £400 full day including fuel and VAT. We do offer a no fuel option, but due to present booking restrictions on the fuel berth, we are recommending the fuel inclusive rate so that you enjoy a full 8 hours on the water. We do offer discounts for multiple-day charters. If you wish to visit any of the local MDL marinas you can do so as part of your charter at no extra cost. These include Port Hamble Marina, Mercury Yacht Harbour, Hythe Marina, Ocean Village Marina, Shamrock Quay Marina, Saxon Wharf Marina, Sparks Marina and Northney Marina.To charter Bluetooth privately you (or the designated driver) must have at least 3 years experience of a similar vessel or hold RYA Coastal Skipper and provide a boating CV. If you don’t have the required experience we can arrange the services of a professional skipper. Likewise, if you wish to hire Bluetooth with skipper for a private water taxi over to the Isle of Wight please get in touch and let’s see how we can help.We look forward to hearing from you,Marie & Nicwww.bluetoothribcharter.co.uk
