About Lymington

Set on the edge of the New Forest, Lymington is a beautiful harbour to discover. It’s a little further up the Solent than you may have previously ventured making this guided trip the ideal opportunity to brush up on your navigation. 

The picturesque river estuary is packed with sailboats, moorings, marinas and private berths, a major south coast centre of boating. The harbour is easily accessible, with deep water access at all states of tide. Exploring up the River you pas will pass the famous Lymington Salt Water swimming baths, the Royal and Town Yacht Clubs, and the iconic Berthons Boat Yard before reaching the refurbished and extended Town Quay. There’ll be time to explore ashore and have a bite to eat.
