Corporate Entertaining Done Right: Why a Private Trip to The Hut Beats Any London Boardroom
Attitude Charter’s sleek Technohull drops guests for their waterside dining experience.
Another glass box in the City. Another PowerPoint. Another forgettable lunch.
If you're still entertaining clients in London boardrooms, you're not just playing it safe: you're actively boring them. The people you're trying to impress have seen it all before. They've sat through the same catered sandwiches, the same views of the Gherkin, the same polite conversation that goes nowhere.
What if instead, you collected them from Lymington Marina and arrived at one of the South Coast's most exclusive restaurants by private powerboat?
The best way to travel.
That's the Attitude Charter difference. And it's exactly why property companies, financial firms, and businesses that actually understand relationship-building are trading their London lunch reservations for something that creates proper memories.
Why The Hut at Colwell Bay Changes Everything
The Hut sits right on the beach at Colwell Bay, Isle of Wight. It's the kind of place you can't just walk into on a whim: especially when you arrive the way your guests will arrive with us.
This is how you get ashore.
While everyone else is parking their car and walking up from the beach, you're pulling up to the private jetty in the UK's sleekest powerboat, champagne in hand, having just cruised past The Needles and Hurst Castle.
This isn't about showing off. It's about creating an experience that says: "We don't do things the ordinary way. And neither should you."
The restaurant itself is exceptional: seasonal seafood, Isle of Wight produce, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Solent. But it's the arrival that sets the tone for everything that follows. Before your guests have even sat down, you've already communicated more about your business than any boardroom ever could.

The Vessel: Not Just Any Boat
This is where most corporate boat charters fall flat. They offer you a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) that's all noise and no comfort, or a sluggish motor yacht that takes forever to get anywhere.
Our Technohull Attitude 35 is something else entirely.
It's the UK's sleekest charter vessel: head-turning design, comfortable protected cockpit, and fast enough to make the journey feel like part of the entertainment rather than just transport. Your guests arrive refreshed, not windswept and regretting their outfit choices.
This matters more than you think. The vessel sets expectations. When people step aboard something this exceptional, they immediately understand the level you operate at. No explanation required.
The Journey: Where the Magic Actually Happens
Forget the stuffy boardroom small talk. Real relationships are built when people are relaxed, engaged, and experiencing something together.
The route from Lymington to The Hut via The Needles is about 45 minutes each way. That's 90 minutes of proper conversation: not forced networking, but genuine connection that happens naturally when you're watching the Needles appear on the horizon, spotting seals at Hurst Castle, and sipping chilled champagne as the Solent unfolds around you.
Your powerboat awaits.
Personally Hosted by People Who Actually Care
With Attitude Charter, you're hosted personally by Terri and Tim: the owners. This isn't a side hustle or a fleet operation. It's their boat, their passion, and their commitment to making sure your day is flawless.
They know when to push the throttle for that exhilarating blast across open water, and when to slow down so your guests can actually take in the view. This is the difference between hiring a service and being looked after.
