White Maiden is a fast, 10m BWSeaCat Classic 995 Displacement Motorised Catamaran, with a 4.2m beam. Built by BWSeaCat of Wicormarine near Fareham she is fitted with a pair of 60HP High Thrust 4 stroke Yamaha Outboards giving 18Knts top speed. She cruises economically at 14Knts. White Maiden is specifically designed to give passengers a great day out whether it be Angling, Bird Watching or Sight Seeing.

She is coded for 10 + 2, that is for ten passengers (or 7 anglers), a Skipper and a crew person. She is ideal for Twitching or Solent Sight Seeing and is equipped for Angling crews, of up to 7 anglers. White Maiden is perfect for bird spotting up the Beaulieu River or along the Island Shores at Newtown Creek, the Chalk Cliffs at Freshwater, the Needles and Alum Bay.

White Maiden is Coded for 10 passengers plus 2 crew to Cat 2, which allows for a 60 mile arc from 'Safe Haven' with a Yachtmaster at the helm. I am currently qualified to Coastal Skipper giving me a 20 mile arc from Safe Haven.

White Maiden's Key Benefits
1. Two Hulls, Two Engines, Two fuel tanks, nearly two of everything. This makes 'White Maiden' a safe boat.
2. White Maiden is economical, using around 2.0 litres of fuel per mile, allowing 'Value For Money' whole boat charters.
3. She is very comfortable and extremely quiet when cruising.
4. Top speed is 18knts with cruising speed an economical 14knts.
5. We are licensed for 10 passengers (but prefer max of 7 anglers) + 2 crew.
6. With a smaller crew of say 5 anglers, you can fish two rods in extreme comfort, I would choose this option..
7. The 4.2m Beam provides a very spacious and comfortable cockpit area.
8. Les is a qualified technical trainer with a 'Cert Ed' gained through Greenwich University. Generally this means some patience is afforded when new anglers do not first understand! You can only learn boat angling by practice. Do it right and you will catch more fish!

Owner Skipper - Les Jones
I have fished these waters for 29 years in various small craft and have been a 'Coastal Skipper' with a commercial endorsement since December 2005. In 2007 I passed my Yachtmaster shore-based exam.

White Maiden is my ideal vessel, giving me stability, comfort and a peaceful ride. White Maiden was the BW SeaCat demo vessel that was built in June 2006 and used by me properly since June 2008. Sight seeing and Birdwatching is a new branch for me but the vessel is ideally suited for this. I still like the buzz of boat angling competitions but really like specimen hunting. I enjoy my anglers catching good fish as nearly much as I do, catching them myself.

White Maiden is my own boat and is a part time business, giving me an alternative earning opportunity. While my proper day job is a full time Product Support Team Leader in the 'Public Safety' (Police, Fire, Ambulance) voice recording market.

Before June 2008, for two and a half years I owned and Skippered Due South. Until November 2005,  for six years, a Shetland 570 was my preferred boat to get out to the marks and back, fast and safe. I ran out from the Brickyard Quay at Exbury on the Beaulieu River.

Before that boat and from the same moorings, and for 12 years, a 17' Wilson Flyer was ideal, inexpensive and quick! Beaulieu River is a great place to have a boat and had a couple of advantages over Lymington but was tidal! In 1987 I ran a very slow, but lovely Aquastar 20' out from Ashlett Creek. While before that I had a part share in a 20' boat moored at Key Haven.

My first boat was a 14' Mayland with a Seagull Silver Century, that always started reliably on the fortieth pull!! 

Coaching has always been part of my normal working life. I gained a Certificate of Education, graduating from Greenwich University in 2000. I am a committed Coach to Fawley Rugby Club and train them on Sunday mornings and Thursday Evenings. This season I am coaching the U13's squad and am the Junior Fixtures Secretary for my sins.  One aim is to bring the joys of boat angling to a wider audience. With this in mind, specialist coaching trips can be arranged. The Solent or Christchurch Bay can provide a convenient and sheltered fishing haven for new and inexperienced sea anglers. See Parent and Child trips.

'White Maiden' is the Business!
