The Hut, Colwell Bay, by Powerboat from Lymington

The best way to arrive at The Hut

There is no queue. No ferry. No parking. You leave Lymington, cross the Solent in around 25 minutes and pull up directly to The Hut's jetty. Your table is waiting. The only question is whether you want lunch or dinner.

Arriving by private powerboat from Lymington is the definitive way to experience The Hut at Colwell Bay. It transforms a restaurant visit into an occasion your guests will talk about long after the plates are cleared.

How it works

You board the Technohull Attitude 35 at Lymington with up to five guests. Champagne is waiting. The lines come off, the harbour drops away and within minutes you are on open water with the Isle of Wight ahead of you. Tim skippers, Terri hosts. Nothing is delegated.

At The Hut, you arrive by water and are transfeered ashore by the Hut’s own tender service. After lunch or dinner, we are waiting to take you home in the same style.

What's included

  • Private skippered charter from Lymington to The Hut and back

  • Up to five guests plus skipper and hostess

  • Chilled Champagne on departure

  • Premium sound system

  • Optional Needles detour

  • Return at a time that suits your booking

Make it even more special

Many guests add a detour to the Needles before lunch or after dinner. The chalk stacks, the lighthouse and Scratchell's Bay are some of the most dramatic coastline in southern England, and from the water they are extraordinary. Ask about combining your Hut visit with a Needles run when you enquire.

Who books this experience?

Couples celebrating something worth celebrating. Friends who want a day that feels genuinely different. Families marking a birthday or anniversary. Anyone who has been to The Hut before and wants to arrive properly this time.

It also works beautifully as a gift. If you are looking for an experience rather than an object, this is it.
