All cruises start at 1000 hours except for Long Weekend which start at 1800 the evening before. All cruises aim to finish by 1800 hours.
Port of embarkation is Ocean Quay, Southampton and is normally the port of return. The only exception is the West Country Cruise where the yacht will be handed over to an incoming crew at a destination to be agreed.
The programme can be modified, extended or curtailed at short notice, subject usually to the weather and numbers participating.
If there is more demand than can be accommodated on Lady Emma, then a second yacht may be chartered for the club's use.
All cruises are under the command of an RYA qualified skipper holding Day Skipper, Coastal Skipper or Yachtmaster ticket (as appropriate for the cruising area and skill levels of the crew).
