Description

Following huge success in 2024 we are repeating our sailing holidays in 2025! This leg of the holidays is reserved for people to complete their RYA Coastal Skipper course. So people who are already RYA Day Skippers but looking to progress to the next level. You join Dream Odyssey at Burnham-on-Crouch at 4pm on Sunday 8th June 2025 (where passage planning for your passage across the Thames starts!), and disembark at Lymington in the Solent on the morning of Saturday the 14th of June 2025. You may of course book the subsequent weeks to carry on the adventure! This leg takes in some great scenery and iconic destinations. For your Coastal Skipper course, take on the challenge of navigating the outer reaches of the River Thames before sighting North Foreland, with an overnight stop at either Ramsgate or Dover. Take in the breathtaking white cliffs of Dover and Beachy Head as you progress onto Eastbourne for a stop. Then onwards to the Solent, passing Brighton and Newhaven. The Solent offers an amazing playground with the incredible backdrop of the Isle of Wight. Transport: The start location of Burnham Yacht Harbour is less than 5 minutes by taxi from Burnham-on-Crouch Railway Station. The end destination of Berthon Marina is less than 5 minutes by taxi to Lymington Town Railway Station. Both stations have excellent route links. Your fee covers the boat, your Yachtmaster Instructor, marina costs along the way, boat fuel, gas, use of jackets, salopettes, lifejackets, accomodation, breakfast, all luinches, snacks, tea/coffee, and evening meals on 4 evenings. The crew eat on shore for two evenings at their own expense - crew chooses which evenings they want to do this and where - lots of nice places to choose from! ​Book now by paying a £150 deposit. A further payment of £150 is payable on 1st December 2024, and the remaining balance is payable 8 weeks prior to the holiday start date. We look forward to welcoming you aboard Dream Odyssey. Notes: Your course booking is processed within 24 hours. You will be emailed an invoice for the non-refundable deposit. Once you have paid this your booking is confirmed. You will also be sent full course joining instructions. The balance is due 7 weeks before the start of the course. We advise all customers to take-out inexpensive holiday insurance (cost around £10) to protect against you needing to cancel your sailing holiday / course.
