heard what our members says

Great night last night in particular the junior supper was a huge hit. Lots of great feedback on the lasagna, a good-sized portion, tasted delicious and well presented. Please can you pass on to the chef and his team!

On 3rd August we held our Red Fox Annual General Meeting and Annual Dinner at the Royal Lymington Yacht Club. The whole event was a great success. Within days of appointing a new chef you produced an excellent menu for the dinner and arranged facilities for our AGM. You and your staff were always very efficient and friendly, and it all made for a very enjoyable evening. We showed our appreciation by doubling the normal gratuity.

We had an excellent Sunday lunch. Please warmly congratulate Darren, your new chef!

On behalf of myself and my family, we just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone involved in my father’s wake on Friday. It was utterly perfect, and I truly think he would have loved it. Please pass on our thanks to the lovely staff and yourself who made it run so smoothly. The weather was simply stunning, and the drinks went down a little too nicely!

The Burns Night was brilliant!  Many thanks to yourself and the team for doing a huge amount of work to make it a great success!  Everything was perfect!

I thought I would drop you a line to say 4 of us had very delicious sandwiches at the Club on Friday lunchtime. They were perfect for what we required – having popped into the Club for a glass of wine and a quick bite to eat.

LEARN USING OUR OWN FLEET OF 60+ BOATS!

Discover our world-class facilities and services tailored for sailors of all levels. From top-of-the-line equipment to expert instructors and a stunning sailing area, we provide everything you need for an exceptional sailing experience.

OUR FLEET

Our fleet of powerboats include safety RIBS, Rigiflex rescue boats, launches and our workhorse Cheetah Marine catamaran Committee boat.  All vessels are stringently maintained by our inhouse team.

Our fleet of 50+ sailing boats include Optimists, RS Teras, RS Fevas, RS Zests and many more. Both for learning and racing, our boats are constantly being upgraded to ensure the latest resources are available.

Our Facilities

Our clubhouse sits right on the waters edge- it is possible to walk out the classroom door and be on the water in seconds! We have a large pontoon where we store most of our sailing dinghies, with an innovative floating slipway to launch them without having to get wet. It also provides a great space to tie boats up to for lunch limiting the amount of times you have to pull them up the slipway!

our sailing area

We have access to some of the best sailing areas on the South Coast. The sheltered lakes provide a great space to take to the water for the first time and the Western Solent provides a more challenging area for those looking to push themselves.

our instructors

Our instructors provide a friendly welcome and bring a wealth of experience to the club. We really couldn't do it without them!

Volunteer training

At Royal Lymington Yacht Club, we deeply value our volunteers and their contributions to our sailing program. To support their professional development, we offer discounted training opportunities, ensuring they can further their qualifications at a minimal cost. Volunteers nominated by section officers receive priority placement, and non-member volunteers may also access training at the non-member rate.
We reserve the right to allocate course places strategically to best suit volunteer training needs, ensuring cost-effectiveness and accessibility. Join us at Royal Lymington Yacht Club and be part of a community that prioritizes your growth and development.

Cancellation policy

If you can't make a lesson which you have paid for, notice should be given within 7 days when an alternative date maybe be considered. The Club may cancel or postpone the lesson at any stage in the event of bad weather, equipment failure or otherwise during which an alternative date or refund will be offered.

COMMUNITY YOUTH PROGRAMME

Our unique Wednesday Junior Sailing (WJS) programme has run for over 40 years throughout April to September.  WJS offers 8-17 year olds, members or non-members, the opportunity to learn lifelong skills on and around the water.
