Lymington boat club members have access to a versatile fleet, meaning every trip onto the Solent can be tailored to get the most of your day. Whether you are planning a fast paced dash across the Western Solent taking in the array of sights, a family day out relaxing in a quiet cove, or taking a leisurely cruise over to the Isle of Wight; choosing the right vessel makes all the difference. Here is your definitive guider on making the most of the Ribs , Finnmasters and Axopars.
The Rib: For Action, Agility, and Quick Solent Dashes

Reach for the RIB when the goal is a fun filled blast across the Western Solent; pure adventure, getting from A to B with zero fuss. Ribs are the ultimate workhorses of the Solent; a quick lunch run across to Yarmouth, anchoring up close to Newtown Creek’s wildlife, or taking friends out for an exhilarating ride, these exceptional vessels never disappoint. Their open layout and quick hose-down cleanup make them an ideal choice for short-notice spontaneous outings.
The Finnmaster: For Family Comfort and All-Day Relaxation

If your plan for the day is comfort, shelter and a relaxed atmosphere, make the Finnmaster a top priority to enjoy your day on the water. With protected helm seating, thoughtful cabin layout, and ample lounging space, it shields your guests from wind and spray while keeping everyone connected. The Finnmaster is a great choice on days when the weather looks mixed, with a great combination of protection against light drizzle and space to relax and soak up the sun.
The Axopar: For Rough Weather and Statement Trips

Famous for its sharp, twin-stepped hull and striking profile, the Axopar cuts through rough water like a knife. Step up to the Axopar when you want the raw performance of an open-air boat with the luxury and weather protection of a high- end cruiser. Best for long distance outings, comfortable cruising at speed, stretching her legs in the open water. A great choice for entertaining friends, family or special guests.
Summary verdict
- Grab a Rib for fast, active, and effortless solo or small-group trips.
- Book a Finnmaster for comfortable, protected family days and leisurely anchorages.
- Take an Axopar for your adventures, and stylish coastal exploration.
