Services
Calypso Charters is a family run business, based in Poole. We charter for private parties, anniversaries, birthdays, engagements, pampering days and corporate events. The first thing to say is that we love boats! We love the water, water sports and getting out to sea at any opportunity. We love the marina environment and all the friends we make.
We offer boat trips and stay aboard boating holidays from Poole Quay. Calypso is a 50ft Trader Signature Motor Yacht - a Vessel built for safety at sea and renowned for sturdy luxury. She has vast accommodation with 3 deck levels and an extremely wide beam. This means that she is very steady on the water and comfortable for guests whatever the weather and sea state.
Our half day or full day packages are designed to give your group the best of the stunning sights together with an opportunity to swim, lunch, and enjoy our pampered hospitality. Only your group are on board and our focus is to make this your unforgettable experience. Unrivaled hospitality - we know how to look after people!
Would you like to spend time aboard a classic motor yacht? You can hire Calypso to do just that. We offer just accommodation or a full boating package holiday which includes a charter during your stay. The whole boat is yours throughout and you will be based at our permanent berth at Poole Quay Boat Haven.
The scattering of ashes is a unique and beautiful way of saying a final farewell to a loved one. This has become increasingly popular over recent years and we have developed a bespoke service to sensitively help you and your family to experience closure in a way that brings the family together.

We offer one of the best experiences which combines a private charter consisting of your closest family and friends with the opportunity to say a final farewell to your loved one all in lavish style and in one of the most beautiful settings in the UK.All our Ash scatterings include drinks and a buffet lunch of your choice, a glass of complementary champagne.

We had a superb charter in glorious July sunshine and highly recommend such a trip! Mark's route offered stunning close-up views of Browsea Island and Old Harry's Rocks. The children loved paddle boarding and swimming and us mums enjoyed champagne and views from the top deck. The layout of Mark's boat is perfect for groups: spacious and comfortable with a sunny top deck and a shaded dining area on the lower deck. Thank you Mark.
