What we do

Ultimate Stag & Hen Rib Experiences

Rib based Stag and Hen parties are not budget activities. We purposefully seek to satisfy our target market for those demanding a first class day completely different to the typical and consequently unimaginative Stag and Hen day. We operate smart and hugely memorable events!

At a glance

One shot

We understand that there is only one go at getting this right. Stag and Hen parties are never postponed; they represent such an investment in organisation and commitment that they must work.

High quality

With our years of experience, we are accomplished at providing unashamedly high quality Stag and Hen days. If the idea of waiting in a queue behind several unrelated groups to ‘do’ quad bikes fills you with horror, then please print the PDF and watch our video.

Good start

A good day needs a good start. Coffee and bacon rolls in a smart shoreside bistro soaks up any time spent waiting for late arrivals. Our favourite venue is Chris Evan’s bistro in Lymington Yacht Haven.

Pace

One of the key secrets is pace; we keep the day moving along without pause. The Solent is blessed with many ports to visit and with so much on water activity as well as all the traditional sights such as the Needles, that everybody will be truly exhausted by the end of the day.

Weather

Blue skies are great, but hope for bad weather and a real sea running for extra adrenaline.

Caution

Please don’t book us if you are looking for a gentle ride; whilst we are always super sensible, this is a ‘full on’ activity with very obvious risks attached – which is what makes it such fun.

What our customers say

These guys were brilliant. Would highly recommend them.

These guys were brilliant – both in helping to organise our trip for 40 scouts (many thanks Theo), and on the day: everyone was full of praise for rib skipper (Mike) for being relaxed and fun, but also super safe. Would highly recommend them. 30th Reigate Scouts.
Jonathan Gold

Skipper Jon on the day was great & always showed on time.

Very helpful with the passage plan and crafting the day ahead of time. Skipper Jon on the day was great, relaxed and always showed on time. Made for a wonderful day. The blast by The Needles was invigorating. We had two groups and a lovely lunch in Yarmouth.
David Chudleigh

I would strongly recommend Solent Rib Charter.

Fantastic Experience – Dealt with Jakob who was really helpful and efficient and had a brilliant day on the water. I would strongly recommend Solent Rib Charter and will definitely be using them again when I’m next in Lymington.
Tim Walkden

I'd absolutely 100% recommend these guys.

Chartered a bareboat RIB with Solent Rib Charter on the bank holiday weekend for a day out to the Isle of Wight. Absolutely top-notch customer service and I can’t overstate how helpful he was! I’d absolutely 100% recommend these guys.
Oliver Masters

Incredible company who at last minute were able to step in like heroes.

Incredible company who at last minute were able to step in like heroes when we were let down by another charter for my 40th Birthday (50 people from Lymington to The Hut and back!). If you want to book a RIB for any occasion, make sure you book with Solent Rib Charter!
Ben Peddie

Really nice people, with great kit and knowledge.

Rented a RIB from these guys which they brought down to Padstow. Boat in superb condition (their boats are used commercially and for leisure, so super well maintained). Summary: really nice people, with great kit and knowledge.

Another wildly successful client RIB day with the wonderful Solent RIB Charter.

Another wildly successful client RIB day with the wonderful Solent RIB Charter. Well organised with friendly and professional skippers, our clients had a brilliant time again on what is one of our most popular annual events, thanks to Jakob, Christian & the team!

From start to finish the process was seamless.

We selected Solent Rib Charter for a team incentive. From start to finish the process was seamless. They were really flexible and allowed for us to enjoy the sights and have a relaxed lunch in Cowes. It was a great day out.

The most professional Rib charter company you will ever come across!

The most professional Rib charter company you will ever come across! Immaculately maintained boats and professional skippers make them stand out from the rest. Highly recommended!
