Home of 21st Century Sailing
Located on England’s South Coast
and overlooking The Solent - one of the
prime sailing areas in the whole world, Gosport &
Lee-on-the-Solent offers so many ways to enjoy
sailing and watersports that you will find yourself
spoilt for choice when deciding the best way to
take to the water. With boat hire, sailing tuition,
marinas - all with deep-water access, fishing
trips, wind-surfing, kite-surfing, and jet-skiing
there is something for all ages and abilities. The
beaches at Stokes Bay and Lee-on-the-Solent
offer great sea swimming in designated zones.
Factor in some of the mildest temperatures and
most consistent winds in the UK, numerous
boatyards and chandleries, ten no cost public
slipways to the water, self-catering properties
and hotels for crew accommodation close to
the marinas or the beach, plus a range of cafes,
bars and restaurants, and you’ll easily see why
Gosport is the ideal destination for your sailing or
watersports vacation.
