Hamble-le-Rice is a village in Hampshire, England and is one of the most popular yachting destinations in the UK. Due to the location near the river Hamble, the picturesque village and the rich history, Hamble-le-Rice is a great place to visit as a sailor or a great place to set off on your boat adventure.
To rent a boat in Hamble-le-Rice, sailboats will average around £300 for the day, while motorboats average slightly more at £450, due to being in lower supply. For a weeklong charter, prices average around £2,500 for a sailboat and £3,000 for a motorboat. However, these prices are not guaranteed and can fluctuate based on several factors including the type of boat and time of year.
Hamble-le-Rice is a great alternative area to visit during the summer months, as although the small village can get busy with tourists, it is an underrated area and is less likely to get as busy as other places featured on the SamBoat website. The marina is very popular however, with sailors visiting from worldwide, so demand can be high, meaning you should book in advance to ensure you get the best experience you can. The weather can be very bad during the winter months, making it a very quiet place, while in the summer it can get much hotter, however is still not hot enough to be a popular sun-filled destination.
To rent a boat in Hamble, as with the rest of the UK, you will need a captain qualification or experience, plus a license. If you do not have one or both of these things, it is easy to hire a boat with a captain for a more hands-off experience.
Hamble-le-Rice is one of the best places in the UK to visit if you are a fan of sailing. The village is rich in history going back to the reign of the infamous Henry the Eight, which can be seen through the ruins of St Andrew’s Castle, however, what really put Hamble-le-Rice on the map was the help it gave during world war in regard to aerospace, by building aircraft and home to a major flying school before and during the second world war, as well as being important help during D-Day.
Despite the village being known for aerospace, and still being a popular industry in the area today, it’s the boating industry that has made Hamble-le-Rice such a popular tourist destination. With three marinas and many traditionally English river-side restaurants and pubs, Hamble-le-Rice is the perfect place to visit via boat to enjoy a proper English small-town experience. Being close to the boating town of Portsmouth, Hamble is a great day-boat destination and an important fixture in marine life in the UK.
If you are looking for something fun to do in Hamble, the location near the river, as well as the surrounding forest and countryside make the village a great area to try outdoor activities. From yachting to fishing, cycling to horse-riding there is something for everyone to try. If you would rather relax, visit the nearby Strawberry Trail which offers a beautiful scenic walk along the riverbank, or visit the Royal Victoria Country Park which is very popular among visitors. If you want to learn more about the history of the area, tour around Netley Abbey which is only walking distance away. Before you leave, you must try a traditional English pub meal alongside the riverbank, where you can try the famous banger and mash (sausages and mash) or enjoy a Sunday roast at the end of the week.
