Since the creation of the Channel Tunnel, we often tend to forget that Great Britain is an island nation that has always looked to the sea. By choosing a yacht charter in England, you can explore its rocky coasts and famous seaside resorts. During your stopovers, you will discover charming port cities steeped in history.
In the south of England, ideally sheltered from the ocean by the Isle of Wight, Portsmouth has one of the largest ports in England. Take advantage of the marinas' privileged location to moor up and set off to explore a pleasant and green city. The city is also appreciated for the charm of its many historical monuments. The old town, dominated by the Anglican cathedral, is a picturesque place that is not to be missed and is also home to the museum and the Square Tower. Numerous restaurants and pubs will give you the opportunity to appreciate the typical English atmosphere.
Southampton is England's other major port. From the marina at Port Hamble, you can easily reach the medieval walled town or the Tudor museum, a magnificent example of a half-timbered house. In the port, you may be able to catch a glimpse of the prestigious liners built on the model of the transatlantic liners of yesteryear. In the extreme south-west of the British Isles, the region of Cornwall fascinates with the beauty of its natural landscapes, its prehistoric sites and its fine sandy beaches.
