JURASSIC COAST SOLENT CLASSIC: DARTMOUTH TO LYMINGTON Join Dream Odyssey for a very special six-night sailing holiday from Dartmouth to Lymington, taking in the spectacular Jurassic Coast and some of the most beautiful parts of the south coast along the way. No previous sailing experience is required. This adventure is ideal for complete beginners, who can gain their RYA Competent Crew qualification while enjoying a memorable sailing holiday, as well as more experienced sailors simply looking to explore a beautiful stretch of coastline, enjoy some great sailing and build miles along the way. Join Dream Odyssey in Dartmouth at 5pm on Saturday 11 September 2027, where introductions, preparation and passage planning will begin. We’ll then head east along the Devon and Dorset coastlines and through the Solent, before disembarking in Lymington at 4pm on Friday 17 September 2027. Possible destinations and stops along the way include Salcombe, Weymouth, Lulworth Cove and Swanage, before completing the passage in Lymington. The precise route and overnight stops will be determined by the skipper, taking account of the weather, tides and conditions during the passage. There is also a very good chance that we’ll be joined by dolphins along the way! TRANSPORT Bus services connect Totnes railway station with Dartmouth. The marina in Lymington is within walking distance of the railway station. Both Totnes and Lymington have good rail connections. WHAT IS INCLUDED Your fee includes use of the yacht, tuition from an RYA Yachtmaster Instructor, marina fees during the passage, fuel and gas, accommodation aboard, use of waterproof jackets and salopettes, lifejackets, and all breakfasts, lunches, snacks, tea and coffee. Four evening meals aboard are also included. On the other two evenings, the crew will eat ashore at their own expense, choosing together where they would like to eat.
