Sailing hospitality: Launch from Southampton or Portsmouth with celebrity sailors Hannah Peters or Sarah Ayton OBE
With the wind in your sails and the sun on your back, there’s nothing more life-affirming than heading for the horizon on a professional sailing yacht or cruiser. Gala’s sailing hospitality offers celebrity experiences you won’t find anywhere else, inviting you to roll up your sleeves on a sailing yacht – or sit back on a luxury superyacht – in the company of Team GB’s medal-winners.
Sailing experience days with added stardust
Launching from either Portsmouth or Southampton (ask the Gala team for more options), Gala’s sailing hospitality lets you set the adrenaline levels. For life in the fast lane, choose our state-of-the-art sailing yacht. Or, to strengthen business relations in the lap of luxury, why not settle back and clink champagne glasses on our dream-specification superyacht?
If you come aboard the sailing yacht, you’ll be in the expert hands of British sailing’s golden girl, Sarah Ayton OBE. This Team GB sailor has won silverware across the world, and she’ll teach everything it takes to compete at the highest level, from racing techniques to team spirit – or have another celebrity guest in mind – just let the Gala team know.
Package One: Sailing Yacht
With a massive aft deck and centre cockpit, our immaculate sailing yacht is one of the most spacious boats available on the Solent. It holds all Marine and Coastguard agency licences, while lifejackets are all auto inflation and wet weather gear is all Henri Lloyd. Joining Sarah and Hannah, our skippers and crew are a key part of your day, handpicked for their professionalism, warmth, knowledge, sociability and sense of fun. While about 95% of our guests have never sailed before, we can ensure complete safety and informative tuition. By the end of the day, you’ll leave refreshed and energised, with vivid memories of your day alongside a Team GB sailor.
Package Two: Superyacht Cruise
Step aboard this sensational superyacht and you and your guests can’t help but be impressed. Unbeatable face-to-face business time is assured on this spacious luxury vessel, which is the largest available for corporate events in the UK, offering high-level hospitality for up to 12 guests with 3 professional crew. You’ll board the superyacht for breakfast and chilled champagne, before heading out into the Solent to the famous Needles. To complete the superyacht experience, a complimentary bar is available on board all day.
