Whatever the celebration, whether it's a Wedding Reception, Office Function, Birthday Party or Social Club outing, the Southern Comfort is an excellent venue. Please call the booking office on 01692630262 to check availability and discuss options. See below for further details about booking the vessel and for boat hire charges.
Our day time public sailings run at 10.30am, 1pm, and 3pm therefore during our high season, mid week (Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays) we can accept private hire bookings from 5.30pm onward. On Mondays and Fridays during high season we may be able to accept an earlier private hire booking provided that only one public sailing is effected, on Saturdays and Sundays there is greater availability for private hire. During our low season the public sailings run at the same times but are subject to demand and therefore there is greater flexibility for private hire bookings on all days and evenings of the week. Please be advise private hire bookings are subject to availability and hire charges vary throughout the season, early booking is advised.
We offer a choice of menu and music, however the hirer is welcome to provide their own if they wish to at no extra charge. There is a wide range of beers, wines and spirits at reasonable prices and teas and coffees are always available therefore we do ask that the hirer uses our bar for all drinks.
Prices in the table below are to hire the boat for your exclusive use, there is a minimum of 20 guests required for a private booking and a maximum of 100 guests. The maximum number is subject to event requirements and time of year, we may advise less. A deposit of 50% of boat hire is required and is non-refundable however if cancelled within the year of sailing then we can re-book. There is a 3 hours minimum hire that applies to Friday and Saturday evenings, evening is considered to be from 5.30pm, please be advised we have to be back at our mooring by 11pm.
