To Mike

Many thanks fora superb weekend on May 19th - 21st 2006; the yacht was fantastic and our skipper Alasdair was extremely professional and a great addition to the stag party team. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best! but it made for a unique and memorable boys-own adventure on the open sea!

Additional thanks for sending on my CD wallet which I had left on the boat, I receivedit on Friday June 2nd. We will not hesitate to choose, and recommend, Fairview in the future for a high quality and professional sailing experience.

Best regards.

Steve

Hi Mike

I just wanted to write and say thank you for your part in our brilliant weekend.  The exceptional weather and great itineary helped but Morning Star was exceptional; well provisioned, well looked after and reliable throughout.  Your team was professional and courteous throughout the booking, handing over and handing back process. I certainly hope to be booking more weekends with you in the future and look forward to the stag weekend we've got planned with you in July.

Thanks again

Hi Mike

Thanks again for organising the Regatta yesterday for Grove House Publishing – everyone had a fab time – really had so many good comments flooding in – your team did a really good job, so please thank them all for me – excellent skippers and martials – a really good team effort. Captain Tim was superb as ever, and just for once we told him to win for us (usually we try and hang back a bit) but we did have two clients on the boat and as Merston Peters had sponsored us, we felt it only right they could have a chance at winning – as you can imagine, Tim rose to the challenge – we managed not to win the last race by starting right at the back, but still came second – honestly, we tried not to! Thanks Mike and let me know if there are any things we can learn/improve on for next year/ideas to plan ahead . . . All the best

Hi Mike 

The group had an amazing time and said that it could not have been smoother or easier. I really appreciate your help on this, I myself must add it has been very simple and straight forward to plan and execute this event (you would not believe the hassle it is with some people on a small event like this) we handle all of the hospitality for HP for the UK & Ireland so I am sure we will doing this again next year if not before and probably on a larger scale given Martin and Pete’s great feedback on the day.  Re the snack and drinks I think they got through a fair bit and then split it all up between them!! Enjoy the sun and I will speak to you soon  

Many thanks

Hi Mike,

As ever, many thanks to you and the guys; everyone very helpful and boat in very good order.I mentioned when we got in that we couldn’t start the outboard, but did say that it was almost certainly due to my complete incompetence with the bloody things rather than a fault, so don’t start taking it to pieces!All the best,

Thanks to all those at Fairview, especially Mike, who have helped to make our 2008 Sailing trips such a success.

Long may our great working relationship continue! 

Many thanks

Mike,

Once again, thanks for another fantastic weekend, not only are the boats from Fairview always in great condition (sometimes unusual with charter boats!) but the customer service once again was excellent.

Many thanks Alan Robson

Having regularly chartered with Fairview over the last 7 years we would thoroughly recommend them.  They are perfectly situated in Hamble with a fantastic choice of boats offering the flexibility we need:  Charters ranging from a two week multi-boat family friendly holiday to a single day for the Round the Island Race.  Always accommodating and helpful with professional and friendly staff.  Fairview always send us away relaxed and with a smile on our faces; even if the sailing hasn't been entirely stress free! 

Kind regards, 

David, Wendy and Sophie Hodgson.

I have used Fairview Sailing to bareboat charter yachts on a regular basis for about 16 years to teach sailing to school groups. I have found their extensive yacht fleet to be up to date with the latest marine technologies, always  in perfect working order, well maintained and  impeccably clean and inviting. The yacht that you book is the pristine boat that you collect.  The location of the Fairview fleet in the Hamble is at the hub of the Solent. A superb place to start any charter for a day, a week or a fortnight. The staff are very experienced and offer a very helpful service from booking to hand over and problem solving in a most professional manner. I enjoy the very personal touch which comes from the Fairview team.  Thank you Fairview for a first class service and  support  for our pupils.

I wanted to say thanks for a great weekend. It made such a nice change to be on a well-kitted out boat after previous regattas with other companies. I really enjoyed waking up warm and comfortable, and having room to move around, and all the new equipment that actually worked. I'll also ask Alan, who did the organising and is more representative than I am, to send you a note.
Thanks again
