Occasion Testimonials
“The Fairline Squadron 50 was immaculate and really impressive, the perfect space for celebrating.
EML Charters Solent was quick to respond and extremely helpful. Matt and Nicky who were skipper and crew for us were great hosts and made us so welcome onboard.
Highly recommend a charter with EML!”
“We had the most unforgettable experience with EML Charters aboard Legacy. I had planned to propose to my girlfriend during a romantic sunset cruise, and the entire evening was absolutely perfect.
The team at EML were exceptional from start to finish. Professional, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our experience special. Everything ran smoothly, and they created the perfect atmosphere for a memory that we will cherish forever.
We cannot recommend them highly enough and would 100% charter with EML in the future – if you’re looking for a magical and memorable experience on the water, this is it!”
“I cannot praise EML Charters enough – from my initial enquiry onwards, they have been nothing but professional, friendly and helpful.
Little extra touches such as a birthday banner for my husband, going to get us extra drinks for the journey home whilst we were having lunch and being so attentive to ensure all the passengers were happy with the speed and were feeling good just completed the day.
I wouldn’t hesitate to book with EML Charters again – in fact I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you to you all for making my husband’s birthday such an incredible fun day.”
