Welcome to Polly Agatha

Polly Agatha is a Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter and is based in the Solent at Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth – from where she can explore all the ports and havens of the Solent any time of the year. We also have a luxury crew house in the heart of Cowes for those in the party who prefer shore based sleeping arrangements!

NEWS! We have to vacate our mooring for the Ribex event on Thursday 10th- Sunday May 13th – We’ll be day sailing out of Haslar Marina in Gosport so come along for just £50 per person per day! Call kim on 07795 480254 now to book your place.

We often visit, Chichester Harbour, Bembridge, Southampton, Hamble River, Cowes on the Isle of Wight, The Folly Inn on the Medina River, Newtown Creek, Bucklers Hard, Beaulieu River, Lymington, Yarmouth, Poole and Weymouth as well as doing longer trips down the Channel and over to France, including the Channel Islands and the Isles of Scilly.

Each year we participate in events such as Yarmouth Old Gaffers (YOGAFF), Round the Island Race, Britsh Classic Yacht Club Cowes Regatta, Cowes Week and the Little Britain Challenge Cup.

Yacht Charters

You can book to come along as an individual or as a family or group of friends on any of our trips. All age groups and abilities are welcome from 4 year olds to 84 years young! You can do as much work sailing her as you like and everyone gets plenty of opportunity to helm if they want to! We also cater for businesses and do many Corporate events throughout the year. Whatever size your business  you will benefit from entertaining staff or customers on this fabulous yacht. Prices are from as little as £150 per person per day which compares very favourably against Golf or other forms of entertaining.
