Sailing along beautiful coastlines under your power off to the next cove, beach, or marina. There is no better way to feel the fresh air, be outdoors and experience the rush of adrenaline. Yacht charters or sailing holidays come in all shapes and sizes and from multiple different locations around the world. Each offers its guarantees of weather and places to explore.
Sailing boats vary in size from 30 feet (ideal for around 4 people) to over 100 feet. Depending on how many people are in your group, your budget, and how much luxury you want on your holiday.
It need not be an expensive holiday either. Share the cost amongst a group of friends and cater for yourselves on board so you do not have the expense of always eating out. There are yachts available for all budgets. Advantages of sailing yacht charters as an adventure holiday include:
- Meet new people: Opt for a flotilla holiday or sailing holiday where you share the boat with other people. Or if you would rather keep to your group of friends then charter a whole boat yourselves
- No need for sailing experience: If you have no sailing experience then opt for a Skippered sailing holiday. Your skipper will help you learn the “ropes”. You can spend as much or as little time as you want to learn to sail.
- If you have experienced sailors in your group then let them do all the hard work and save on the cost of a skipper
- Explore new places: Stay in marinas or anchor for the night in a small cove or cave. The choice is yours
- Suitable for individuals, couples, or larger groups of people charter the whole boat or chose a sailing holiday or flotilla where you join a boat full of other people
- Combine it with other activities: such as diving, snorkeling, or swimming off the back of the boat. There are also some great photographic opportunities if that is your hobby
You set the pace of the holiday – Be adventurous as you want, get involved as much as you want, or sit back, relax, and enjoy the amazing backdrop of the coast. It is a holiday you will not forget in the hurry.
