Mariners
sailing adventures for our young members
RLymYC Mariners
The Mariners, a new addition to our Junior and Youth programs, caters to adventurous young sailors interested in cruising. Designed as a natural progression from Shipmates, Mariners targets Junior sailors aged 8+ with RYA Level 2 or equivalent experience, particularly those seeking more time on the water, without a competitive edge, or lacking confidence.
The program's focus is on providing on-water adventures and fun, coupled with seamanship and knowledge development. It aims to instill teamwork, sportsmanship, self-reliance, and confidence—skills essential for life. The emphasis is on enjoyable adventures, acquiring new skills, and fostering social interactions.
Activities include wildlife observation, tides and local navigation knowledge, safety at sea, star and celestial navigation, compass skills, model sailboat building, and learning about shipwrecks. The Mariners is a parent-led, highly social group, offering activities like treasure hunts, orienteering, camping trips, family day cruises, sailing challenges, and more.

“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.”
