Fortune is a luxury house boat with everything you could need for a family getaway. We spent every evening watching the vista change and the sea go in and out. The sunsets were spectacular. We holidayed with three generations of family and everyone loved Fortune. A proper escape of a holiday....

We have just returned from a fabulous weeks stay on Fortune. The barge was much bigger than we had anticipated and absolutely beautifully presented. The view of Bembridge harbour from the deck, main living area and Master bedroom is ever changing with full tide being exceptional. We loved the many personal touches the owner had made to make our stay like a home from home - even a personalised ball for our dog and an upright chair for an older member of our party. This was a unique place to stay and without doubt for us the best view on the Isle of Wight we would totally recommend....

We had a wonderful time on Fortune, myself, husband, daughter and 2 granddaughters (16 and 13). Everyone loved the comfort and decor on board. The views were lovely, sitting on deck with the tides changing and watching the sunset. Main bedroom was amazing. Massive comfy bed, walk-in wardrobe and large en-suite. Other bedrooms lovely as well. ...

Fortune is a true 5 star experience. It's as amazing as the sunsets on the outside decking. This was our second visit and there was a significant improvement in the internet reception. The home itself had also undergone some improvements. All the family love it, including the dog....

Mr Parrott September 2024
For a belated celebration for my Birthday my partner booked the Fortune for friends and family to join us at our favourite place on the IOW, Bembridge Harbour. As we all 'boarded' the Houseboat we all smiled and 'WOW' was the response from everyone. Fortune is a luxury experience - spacious, comfortable and well decorated to a high standard with 'quirky' décor from the huge starfish door knocker to jelly fish lights. After a day out we couldn't wait to return to enjoy our time on this amazing houseboat and watch the sunsets. We will definitely recommend Fortune to our friends and family. Big 'Thank you' to Rebecca for the welcome gifts and checking in to ensure our stay was the best. ...
