| STAG AND HENS ON YACHTS
The name MEC Sail has become synonymous with having good fun and a great time on the waters of the Solent. Our name derives from like minded people years ago who would ''Make the Effort'' and as a result, Make the Effort Club was born eventually becoming MEC Sail Ltd. We organise hen and stag parties from our base at Ocean Village Marina in Southampton. The joy of using any of our vast selection of ten berth yachts allow any party the freedom to explore the harbours of the Solent including Southampton and Portsmouth city centres for those wishing to combine sailing with traditional stag/hen activities or some quieter spots for those looking for more relaxation. Our skippers know these waters and exciting venues ashore like the backs of their hands and this knowledge ensures that you will have the experience of a lifetime. At the same time our professional skipper takes complete responsibility for the safety of the yacht and those aboard her and yet will allow all crew to participate in the sailing of the yacht. We can supply you with a complete guide of all the entertainment in Southampton and Portsmouth including all of the very best in clubs, pubs and restaurants. Two of the liveliest bar/restaurants are situated in the marina itself. We can also recommend some other excellent venues around the Solent. Car parking is adjacent to the yachts with trains or buses less than ten minutes away. No experience is needed for this kind of charter, but a desire to help sail the yacht will enhance your enjoyment. We accept no parties that are not intent on having a good time and lots of fun. HEN AND STAG ITINERARY FOR THE WEEKEND (This is one example itinerary, but let us know what your party is looking for and we will tailor your event for you) Friday 1700 hrs. Arrive Ocean Village Southampton, welcome on board by your skipper and shown your berth. Quick chat and indication of the plan for the weekend, with discussions of the best places to visit in Southampton. The shower and toilet block is adjacent to the boats. After putting on your glad rags or hen and stag outfits make your way to the marina bars for a swifty before making your way up to Southampton city (5 minutes walk) for an evening of fun and frivolity before returning to the yachts. Saturday 1000 hrs. When you're ready! Your male or female skipper will arrive. You may then either have breakfast on board (not recommended due to sleeping bodies) or have a full English or continental breakfast at one of the marina venues. After a thorough safety briefing by your skipper and brief details on how to sail a yacht you will leave Ocean Village marina and head down Southampton Water on route to the Solent. You may wish to make a quick visit into Cowes on the Isle of Wight for supplies and then head east to Portsmouth. You may be lucky (if we pre-book)and call in at the infamous Gun Wharf Quay which is surrounded by bars, restaurants and clubs. There you can dance the night away or you may prefer to have a comedy night before returning in the small hours to your yacht.
Sunday 1100 hrs. When you're ready! Try and have breakfast before setting sail back towards Southampton and the Solent. If we have time we may call in at some picturesque harbours on route. We should have you back at the marina by about 1700 hrs. WE CATER FOR:
Other suggestions to add spice to the week-end
We are completely flexible on the period of the booking. Some people may wish to day sail, others take a weekend or even a 4 to 5-day midweek break. VENUE Our boats are located at Ocean Village Marina and the area local to this is a great sailing arena with the Solent and cross-Channel / Channel Island possibilities. There is ample opportunity for both cruising and the best racing events in the land. There is a wide range of restaurants and bars in the locality and the boats are very accessible with free parking close by. SKIPPERS The skippers will act as your guide to the boat and local waters. They will enjoy showing people new places and letting them into their secrets — about sailing, the best places to swim, to eat, you name it. We can organise for on-board catering.
