Make it an occasion to remember with a night of secluded luxury. Built in 1878 to protect Britain from invasion, the fort has been transformed into a boutique hotel in the middle of the Solent, boasting unrivalled views. Arrive at the departure lounge for a welcome drink before boarding the boat, cameras at the ready for when the fort appears on the horizon in all its unique splendour. Be welcomed ashore by the crew and head to the Victory Bar for a champagne reception before a full guided tour, from the moody wine cave to the tip of the lighthouse.
