Adventure Summary

Join us aboard the Amelie Rose as we set sail from the Beaulieu River to head along the stunning Jurassic Coastline of Dorset and Devon to Falmouth in the heart of Cornwall.

Our milebuilder cruises are a great chance to experience longer passages aboard the Amelie Rose, visiting interesting harbours and anchorages along the way.

Itinerary

You’ll be joining us at Bucklers Hard on the Beaulieu River on the Sunday evening, where you can enjoy a meal at the Master Builders Hotel and meet the other guest crew. With food and introductions complete we’ll move to the boat where you’ll find yourself a bunk, stow your gear and have a look around. Before we head to our bunks we’ll usually have a chat about the plan for the following day.

Depending on the times of the tides at Hurst Narrows and St Albans Head we may have an early start or the morning may be fairly relaxed but either way we’ll eventually head downriver and out into the Western Solent bound for either Yarmouth, Studland Bay or Weymouth. The rest of the route will depend on the tides and weather but typical destinations include; Dartmouth, Salcombe, The Yealm, Plymouth & Cawsand Bay, Fowey and the Helford River.

There may be some night-sailing involved and almost certainly a night or two at anchor as well as harbour visits. We’ll be aiming to be close to Falmouth by Wednesday night (probably in the Fowey). This will leave just a short hop to get you ashore in Falmouth with plenty of time to extract yourself from Cornwall.
