PURPOSE AND MISSION

The Seaview Sailing Trust is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (charity number 1198176) established in 2022 for the purpose of:

The advancement of education and training for the public benefit of children, in particular but not exclusively from Isle of Wight primary schools, by the provision of sailing, watersports and land-based activities, in order to enhance their physical and mental development skills and self-confidence.

In simple terms, we raise money to pay for Isle of Wight primary school children to learn how to sail, free of charge. The children are taught by qualified instructors at Sea View Yacht Clubs excellent training facilities. Each child gets a terms worth of sailing lessons, and complete their course with an official RYA Dinghy Level 1 or 2 certificate.

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE

The Trust was established in 2022 to drive forward the Seaview Schools Sailing programme which has been run by the Sea View Yacht Club since 2017.  The Trusts purpose is clear: to enable Isle of Wight primary school children to experience the benefits of sailing and water sports activities. Specifically, we provide the funding to enable Year 5 primary school children to enjoy a terms worth of sailing lessons provided by Sea View Yacht Club. The children come as a whole class accompanied by a teacher. Many of these children have never been in a boat before and some have never been to the beach, despite living on the Isle of Wight. By coming week after week in the summer term, we see these children grow in confidence and embrace the challenges of sailing and wonders of the sea.

Andrea Minton Beddoes, Chair

OUR 2023 HIGHLIGHTS

These achievements have been made possible by the support of our generous donors. Despite the challenging fundraising environment in 2023, we saw our supporter base expand. Over £200,000 was raised to fund the programme going forward. The success of our fundraising assures the programme for 2024 and will allow us to expand still further. I continue to be overwhelmed by the support we receive both from the Seaview community and further afield. We have seen a wonderful array of local fund-raising activities during the year including a cycle from Lands End to John OGroats, marathon runners, a fishing seminar, custom designed jewellery — all in aid of the Seaview Sailing Trust. The number of regular donors has also increased significantly, and we have seen generous donations from a variety of trusts and foundations. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported us. Thank you to you all.

We are well underway in implementing our 2022-25 Strategy and we expect to meet our current target of working with 12 local schools in 2024. Our financial report demonstrates that we are putting the Trust on a secure financial footing. We have opened a separate deposit account during the year and are now building up the Charitys reserves to help ensure that our work can continue. Looking ahead, the Trustees have now begun work on the 2025-2030 strategy.  

During the year three new Trustees were welcomed to the Board: Tracy North, William Robins and Michael Smith. In line with many smaller charities, it is up to the Trustees to handle the day-to-day running of the charity. I would like to thank all the trustees for their support and hard work during the year. It has been a great team effort.

We are still a young charity, but we are incredibly proud of what we are achieving. I hope going forward we can help even more Isle of Wight children experience the benefits of life on the water.

MSC Seaside / Seaview - Yacht Club - Inside Cabin

By Captain Noodles , February 10, 2017 in MSC Cruises

Thanks Pete. Didn't see that. Cheers.

Maybe the new 2018/19 Brochure that was released this week has an update on this info ? I think MSC need new proof readers because there has been conflicting information in the brochures in certain places.

Captain Noodles

Not sure what the prices are elsewhere but on the MSC UK website the price for 14 nights on the Seaside leaving 20th Oct 2018 in an Inside YC is £1,869 and £3,269 for a Deluxe YC. £1,400 is a lot of money just for a balcony ?

My TA is confirming with her contact at MSC. Will let you know once I have a response.

The New 2018/19 brochure does not make mention of no butler service for Inside cabins, with regard to drinks it also says "Unlimited drinks in all YC venues and from the mini bar" plus "Complimentary beverage selection in all onboard bars and restaurants" (according to the drink selections available in the different venues)

The 2016/17 brochure says Complimentary beverages in all YC Venues.

Also posted on the other thread. My TA confirmed with MSC that Inside YC cabins have access to all the benefits of the YC.

I hope so! DW and I have one booked on SeaSide, and another booked on SeaView. I've considered booking on MV, but haven't done it yet.

Booked an Inside YC cabin on the Seaside for the 14 night cruise leaving on 26th May 2018. Looks like I also managed to get an accessible cabin if the deck plan is correct on the MSC website. Looking forward to my first taste of cruising !

"Unlimited drinks in all YC venues and from the mini bar" plus "Complimentary beverage selection in all onboard bars and restaurants" (according to the drink selections available in the different venues)

I would guess that some of the drinks available in the YC may not be available at some or all of the other bars on the ship, but as I say that is just a guess on my part based on the wording.

I have an inside in the Yacht club booked on the Seaside for Jan 13th, 2018 and am going with two other couples who have the usual Yacht Club suites. I'll let you know how my experience differs from theirs. The only other time I had a butler we never used him. Bob

I will be looking forward to you getting back with us here Bob. I have an inside YC on Jan.27, not sure if the butler would make a difference or not........

Hi Everyone......just found this on the MSC website. It sounds like YC INTERIOR cabin guests DO receive the privilege of a 24 hour butler. I made the lettering bold.....scroll down to see it. Hope this helps :)

Tipping is a definite, but I wonder if it would be just as good without tipping.......I know a lot of people complain that their butler did nothing.....interesting

Of course you get the same as everyone else in YC. Pre pay tipping is the easiest and then tip extra IF needed. Don't over complicate it. Enjoy your cruise.

The Butler does a lot, you just don't see him/her or the room stewards, that's there job really, when your out of your room they go in and do their stuff. I don't want them in my face but if I need them I'll call ANY butler and ask for whatever I need/want and it is done.

We have one booked for June 2018' date=' and all the inside rooms were available at time of booking a few weeks ago for Seaside. The YC pricing for the inside was cheaper than an Aurea suite. It will be our first inside cabin, but the perks of the YC will more than make up for the balcony lose. If you can book one, go for it!     Sent from my iPad using Forums

We just booked an inside YC on seaside on June 16, 2018 sailing (they only have 2 left). We gave up a balcony standard room with Aurea....hope we made the right decision. Not sure what sailing you are on

you made the right decision, as i did the same thing and have my first Inside YC!

Just returned from SEASIDE on Saturday in a YC inside. I have TONS of photos to label and upload. Almost a thousand.

Overall had a great time and loved the ship. Really only two complaints. Storage space in the cabin (this goes for all standard cabins- inside, outside, balcony, and YC Inside) is very limited. Just the closet. No other shelves or cubby holes. Clearly there was space for it but they didn't include it for whatever reason. Secondly we found the food to be hit or miss. Steaks, pasta, and deserts were wonderful. Everything else so-so. Nothing horrible but just not great.

Service was fantastic and so was entertainment. I also loved the ship. The layout, design, open deck space, etc.

The YC experience I would rate above NCL's Haven except for the food. Overall it was exceptional.

Lastly the YC inside cabins are a bit larger than the standard insides. In fact there is a good bit of floor space and plenty of room for a small sofa but unfortunately there is only one chair and a table. I did compare it with a standard inside on disembarkation morning when all the cabin doors were open. Bathrooms are essentially no different, with the exception nicer towel racks and towels, upgraded toiletries, and additional rain shower type shower head, a magnifying mirror, and the floor tile was square instead of rectangle.

I'll add bedding was fantastic. A wonderful Italian mattress with mattress pad and high quality linens. Great pillows too! I slept very well. The cabin was super quiet as well.

I was wondering if you were back yet.

Eagerly waiting for your review.:D

Hi, Ernie, I was wondering if you were back yet.   Eagerly waiting for your review.:D

It's going to be little bit. So many pictures to upload and I like to include a pictures link with the review. I still have 600 pics from a HARMONY OF THE SEAS cruise a couple months ago as well, plus a couple hundred from BRILLIANCE OF THE SEAS last month. I'm getting way behind. I'll probably do SEASIDE first, while it's fresh in my mind. Those other cruises are already a distant memory. LOL

PLEASE BE ADVISED. YC Inside cabins have butler service included no different from YC Balcony. We have just returned from YC . We were a group f 12 pax in both YC Balconies and YC Insides. All had the same butler service.

No Difference! The speculation above is not true!

We had the most wonderful time in YC. No have not done Haven. Have done suites on both Holland America and Royal Caribbean and just my personal opinion YC is our choice.

Hi Ernie, glad you had a good cruise. For some reason I thought we were on the same week and I looked for you but I guess you were getting on as I was leaving. I Loved the Yacht Club and didn't miss a balcony. The bathroom space and storage in the closet were exactly the same as I had the week before in a Fantastica balcony cabin. And once we left the cabin we were treated just like any other Yacht Club guest and it was a wonderful experience. I'm glad we did it but will probably go back to a normal balcony cabin for our next cruise, most likely an 11 day on the Divina. Bob

Sorry we missed each other. I’m glad you enjoyed yourself. We sure did. Of course it would have been nice to have a balcony or even a window, but we were quite content in our inside YC. Treated so well by everyone and made to feel very special.

Hope to someday meet you on the high seas!

Hi everyone,   Just wondered if anyone has any experience of this room type or if it is new to the Seaside and Seaview ships ? . There is a massive increase in price between the Inside YC and Deluxe Yacht Club cabins, so just trying to decide if it is worth the additional cost. My wife and I have never cruised before and a balcony cabin does appeal but I presume there will be lots of space and seating options in the Yacht Club itself ? I've read great things about the Yacht Club experience with MSC and would love to try it especially on one of these new ships   One potential problem is that there doesn't appear to be many cabins with an accessible shower. Do people find the shower over the bath difficult to get in and out of ? My wife has MS which makes it difficult for her to get in and out of a bath.   Many thanks

I noticed that there is an Handicap cabin (with an accessible shower) available for our March 24th sailing on the Seaside. It's a YC inside. (18026).

On Tuesday I will sit down and compose a review of our YIN cabin and all of the positives (few) and negatives (many) that went along with our first time sailing on MSC.
