Maia Motor Yacht Hire

Maia is a 46 ft motor yacht listed by Solent Motor Yacht Charter. She operates professionally skippered private charters from Universal Marina on the River Hamble. The operator describes her as a family boat, named after the owners granddaughter, and states that she is fully MCA coded for 12 people. Pickup and drop off are listed at Universal Marina, Crableck Lane, Salisbury Green, Southampton, or other locations by arrangement. Port Solent is listed as an alternative start and end point. Destinations listed include Portsmouth Harbour and Gunwharf Quays, Cowes, Yarmouth, Newtown Creek, the Needles, Beaulieu River, Chichester Harbour, and East Head.

A published guide price is 1850 pounds for a day in the Solent. That guide includes pickup and drop off at Universal Marina, fuel, mooring and anchoring fees, wine, beer, soft drinks, tea, coffee, and snacks on board, plus paddle boards, a towing toy, masks, snorkels, and fins. The operator will give a price based on exact requirements. Overnight stays are listed with 3 ensuite cabins, 2 with doubles and 1 with bunks, and are only available before, during, or after a charter. The operator does not print a VAT band. Confirm the current day, extras, and tax when you book. This is a private skippered charter for one group, not a shared cruise.

Boarding is at Universal Marina on the River Hamble. Fly into Southampton Airport (SOU), then transfer to the marina. Contact Solent Motor Yacht Charter to confirm the berth and boarding hour before you travel.
