Description
South-West Coast Adventure – Sailing Holiday 26th July to 1st August 2026. Join Dream Odyssey for a relaxed yet rewarding sailing holiday along the stunning south-west coast of England. This round-trip starts and finishes in the charming seaside town of Dartmouth, Devon, making travel straightforward and stress-free. This holiday is ideal for those with sailing experience who want to refresh their skipper skills, enjoy great coastal cruising, or simply unwind in good company. It’s also perfect for beginners—no prior experience is required, and you’ll complete your RYA Competent Crew qualification as part of the week. You’ll join at 6pm on Sunday 26th July 2026 in Dartmouth and disembark at 10am on Saturday 1st August 2026, also in Dartmouth. We’ll explore a series of beautiful coastal destinations depending on weather and conditions. Likely ports of call can include Brixham, Salcombe, the River Yealm, and Fowey, with plenty of opportunities for scenic anchorages and memorable sailing. Every trip is shaped by tide, wind and the crew—so no two are ever quite the same. Transport: Dartmouth is easy to reach by car or by train. From Totnes Railway Station, the number 92 bus (£4) takes you directly to Dartmouth town centre, just a 5 minute walk from our berth. What’s included? - The yacht and your qualified instructor - All marina fees, fuel, and gas - Use of lifejackets, jackets, and salopettes - Accommodation onboard - Breakfasts, all lunches, snacks, tea/coffee - Evening meals onboard for 4 nights - Two evening meals ashore (at own expense—crew chooses when and where) Booking & Payment: Reserve your place now—no deposit taken until Sept/Oct 2025, when we ask you to confirm. A further £225 is due 1st January 2026, with the remaining balance payable 9 weeks before departure. Notes: Your booking will be processed within 24 hours and you’ll receive an invoice for the deposit. Once the deposit is paid, your place is confirmed and full joining instructions will follow. We recommend inexpensive sailing holiday insurance (approx. £10) to protect against the need to cancel. We look forward to welcoming you aboard Dream Odyssey for an unforgettable adventure along England’s magnificent south-west coast. ** Please don’t book train tickets too early—we’ll confirm final start/finish ports nearer the time in case of weather-related changes.
