Cowes is a yachting Mecca, and the perfect base from which to explore the remarkable Isle of Wight. It has an abundance of restaurants, bars, and historic shopping streets, with direct links to the mainland via the Red Jet. You will be berthed in Cowes Yacht Haven with superb views of the harbour entrance, an ideal position for watching the yachts come and go. 

Moored in the heart of Southampton in the five star Ocean Village Marina with its wide range of shops and top class restaurants, staying aboard this lovely classic yacht adds pleasure and romance for a memorable experience. Being one of the few superyacht marinas on the south coast, you may spot some other really special yachts here. 

There are always interesting maritime happenings in Portsmouth Harbour, from historic ships to our largest aircraft carriers. Moored in Gunwharf Marina, Kaléa provides the perfect private space, right in the middle of the action. Close by are shops, restaurants, bars and entertainment, as well as the Historic Dockyard with HMS Victory, The Warrior, Mary Rose and other maritime museums. Travel is easy, within walking distance of Portsmouth Harbour station, and Gosport and IoW ferries.

If you haven’t been there, Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight is a unique little town - welcoming, quiet, pretty, with some excellent pubs, cafes and restaurants, as well as being the closest harbour to the famous Needles. It is the perfect backdrop to Kaléa's classic style and presence. You will undoubtedly be part of the view while in this harbour making it a memorable stay. Ferries can take you directly to Lymington, or a bus and ferry can take you back to Southampton or Portsmouth.

Kaléa could not be more suited to the beautiful Beaulieu River in The New Forest. It’s an idyllic, quiet and restful place. Buckler's Hard has an almost tangible historic aura, it is so lovely. Unlike staying in a hotel, the yacht is on the river with the beauty all around - and in front of you as you dine or have drinks in the cockpit. 

Note - tidally dependent, please check in advance.

A great alternative if the tides for Beaulieu aren't playing ball, the historic New Forest town of Lymington is a hidden gem on the south coast, best visited by yacht. Winding cobbled streets, Victorian and Georgian architecture, and a Saturday market dating from 1250 all add to the feeling of stepping back in time, a feeling you will also experience stepping aboard your home for the night!
