The club operates an RYA Training Centre open to non-members as well as members, with sailing, powerboating, shorebased, youth, bespoke, and one-to-one course options.
Royal Lymington Yacht Club is a Lymington club with extensive dinghy, yacht, junior, and RYA training activity, including a long-running Wednesday Junior Sailing programme.

Juniors and families are strongly supported through Wednesday Junior Sailing for ages 8 to 18, youth courses, summer camps, junior fleets, family membership, and Family Learn to Sail.
