Dine by Boat: Discover the Solent’s Best Waterfront Restaurants with AMT

We offer a range of exciting boat experiences, whether it’s a picnic on the river Hamble, lunch on the Isle of Wight or a special celebration.

Set sail for an unforgettable day out with Associated Marine Training’s bespoke boating experiences, where the journey is just as extraordinary as the destination. Whether you’re cruising to a long, lazy lunch on the Isle of Wight, stopping for a sunset dinner in Lymington, or enjoying a riverside bite along the Hamble, we’ll craft the perfect experience around exceptional food, stunning views, and effortless adventure.

Boating isn’t just about getting from A to B—it’s about switching off, reconnecting, and indulging in something special. The fresh air, open water, and gentle motion of the waves have a calming effect like no other, making the perfect setting for celebrations, family days, or corporate escapes.

Our team at AMT will help you explore some of the Solent’s best culinary spots—from tucked-away gems with jetty access to award-winning marina-side restaurants. Think seafood with a sea view, wood-fired feasts at anchor, or cocktails at golden hour.

Every trip is tailored just for you, for groups of 2 to 12 guests, with a custom itinerary that could include beach stops, hidden coves, and local favourites only accessible by boat.

Take a look at our recommended restaurant destinations below or get in touch to plan your perfect day on the water—complete with good food, great company, and unforgettable views.
