All aboard for Isle of Wight motor cruiser trips from Southampton! Departing from Ocean Village Marina you’ll enjoy a round trip exploring the Isle of Wight coastline seeing the sights from the VIP vantage point of your luxury cruiser!

These Isle of Wight boat cruises are sold on an individual passenger basis (where you’ll be part of a group of up to 12 on the boat) or you can charter the whole vessel for up to 12 of you. The itinerary for both is the same with you cruising out of the marina towards the Isle of Wight.

Heading along Southampton Waters you get a superb view of the estuary as it widens out into the Solent. This is also where the ferries operating the Southampton to East Cowes are routed so don’t be surprised if you find yourselves playing in the wake of the big boats!

As Cowes & East Cowes come into view you’ll see why Cowes is synonymous with sailing & boating. This is the home of the famous Cowes Week sailing regatta which is one of the longest-running in the world hosting up to 1000 boats every August for races & events.

After exploring the estuary where the River Medina meets the Solent you’ll power off around the headland to catch a glimpse of Osborne House from the water. This was Queen Victoria & Prince Albert’s summer retreat
- & you can see why it was much-loved by them. Occupying an imposing position on the Isle of Wight the opulent Italianate design of the house is rather breathtaking.

Surrounded by lush green land finely manicured gardens & the lovely beach & Swiss Cottage we can only imagine how nice it would have been to spend the summer holidays. Your viewpoint of Osborne from the water is pretty special too & your skipper will point out all the best bits.

Having cruised around the local Cowes area you’ll head back to Ocean Village Marina. These Isle of Wight motor cruiser trips last in total around two hours & are operated by a very fancy Fairline Targa 43 luxury cruiser with plenty of deck space & seating for you to relax & take in the superb views with a glass of bubbly in hand!

The Ford Escort Mk 2 rally car needs no introduction. If you love your rallying you'll know this was the most successful rally car ever when it dominated the motorsport during the 1970s. We are really quite excited to say this is your chance to drive this mythical rally car for yourself on a loose gravel stage in Essex! The iconic RS1800 won every single consecutive RAC rally from 1975 to 1979 & of course pulled off the WRC one-two in 1979 with Bjorn Waldegard on top of the podium Hannu Mikkola as runner up & Ari Vatanen fifth. Totally epic. This incredible rally car held its own right up until the fledgling years of the four wheel drive generation of rally cars headed by the Audi Quattro in the early 80s. Even today nothing beats the sound & sight of a Mk II Escort hammering it around a rally course. You can hear the breathy engine-wail way before you can see it & when the Escort does come into view it's invariably at a near-impossible sideways angle. That seminal Cosworth engine was without doubt most at home in the Welsh forest wining endless rally stages. & who could forget those classic Rothmans & Castrol liveries & those extra-large wheel arches? Not even the fact that front vision was pretty useless through the front windscreen (which is why you often saw drivers & co-drivers peering through the side windows!) could detract from the sheer charm. Simplicity & drivability is what makes this car an enduring icon. That is the beauty of the Escort Mk 2 rally car. It's low kerb weight & perfectly balanced rear wheel drive set up means you can get the rear end swinging out knowing you will still exit the corner & accelerate neatly away. Luckily for you the legend that is the Escort Mk 2 rally car is still very much living. That's why rally operators (who are as big a rally fan as you) keep these classic rally cars going. Everyone deserves the chance to enjoy the sheer thrills & sensation of this great car at least once
- & that's why we're offering these Ford Escort rally drives just for you!
