Lymington Yacht Haven Marina

The Perfect Launch Point

Lymington Yacht Haven is the ideal starting and finishing location for your Hut transfer. With extensive free parking and an excellent first floor Bistro enjoying wonderful views across the Western Solent, the Haven Bistro is the ideal spot to await your colleagues. The Haven enjoys a fabulous reputation as one of the liveliest waterside Bistros on the Solent, serving wonderful bacon rolls, tea, and coffee. The venue also doubles up as a spectacular location for Pimms on your return. The marina has excellent rail links to London and is perfectly situated on the western Solent where the Hut is located. The Needles, Hurst Castle, and Hurst lighthouse add to the backdrop.

The incredible atmosphere is simply without compare and draws the crowds from far and wide. Arriving by sea is the nearest the UK can offer to a Caribbean experience. Happily, the Hut does a splendid job of controlling the weather with a magical array of screen, shades, and folding roofs that keep you warm and dry and yet still somehow outdoors.
