Located on England’s South Coast and overlooking The Solent - one of the prime sailing areas in the whole world, Gosport & Lee-on-the-Solent offers so many ways to enjoy sailing and watersports that you will find yourself spoilt for choice when deciding the best way to take to the water. With boat hire, sailing tuition, marinas - all with deep-water access, fishing trips, wind-surfing, kite-surfing, and jet-skiing there is something for all ages and abilities. The beaches at Stokes Bay and Lee-on-the-Solent offer great sea swimming in designated zones. Factor in some of the mildest temperatures and most consistent winds in the UK, numerous boatyards and chandleries, ten no cost public slipways to the water, self-catering properties and hotels for crew accommodation close to the marinas or the beach, plus a range of cafes, bars and restaurants, and you’ll easily see why Gosport is the ideal destination for your sailing or watersports vacation. To whet your appetite (or should that be ‘wet’), here is a brief guide to what’s on offer in Gosport & Lee-on-the-Solent for boating and watersports enthusiasts. H
