Testimonial

What did SEGA Europe think?

“Amazing – A very big thank you from all of us at SEGA for the best team building experience ever! We all had an amazing time.”

At a glance

Solent Rib Charter were contracted to provide the full solution. Coaches collected all 240 delegates from London and Heathrow for transfer to Southampton and then by high speed Red Jet ferry to Cowes on the Isle of Wight.

Waterside conference

We used the excellent Yacht Haven conference facility just a few feet from the edge of the water for an impressive conference as befits a high technology firm, all organised by Solent Rib Charter.

Rib Treasure Hunt

Lunch was served on the balcony overlooking the marina followed by all 240 delegates boarding a fleet of 30 Ribs to embark on a highly competitive and fun Rib Treasure Hunt which had been customised for SEGA. Sonic himself donned a lifejacket to take the salute.

BBQ finish

The competitors returned to a BBQ on the balcony with terrific views over the Solent for excellent food, plenty of drink and a prize giving before departing by high speed ferry back to the mainland.

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.
Mark O'Donoghue

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!
Sarah Ward

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.
Martin Rennison

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!
