Affordable Luxury – Great Sailing Vacation Opportunities

Sailing Vacations – A sailing holiday is the ideal way to visit and experience a range of beautiful destinations on one amazing vacation, which could last a week, a fortnight or even longer if you choose. It can be a unique experience, which will create an air of mystery and will make memories that last a lifetime.

Bareboat Charters – A bareboat charter is when you sail a boat yourself with no crew. If you want to explore the seas from the comfort of your own boat, you could choose to charter a yacht and take yourself and your loved ones off on a mystery tour. There’s no feeling like being skipper of your own boat, especially when you’re sailing in such fabulous and exotic locations as the Caribbean, the South Pacific and the Far East.

For a crew of up to twelve people, most bareboat charters are state-of-the-art, lavish yachts equivalent to a five-star hotel on land. They have comfortable, roomy cabins, air-conditioning, flat screen TVs and DVD players, plus all the kit you need to sail the boat to your luxurious destination. To take charge of your own sail or power yacht, you will likely need an understanding of sea navigation, boat handling and seamanship. If you do not have previous sailing experience, you can still enjoy a bareboat charter, complete with your own hired captain. Your skipper will take charge of the sailing so you can relax and take in the experience, or you may prefer to take a Learn to Sail holiday, complete with sailing lessons on board.

Crewed Yacht Charter – A crewed or skippered charter is where you hire a yacht that comes with its own captain. For a really luxurious sailing holiday, you could choose to pamper yourself and charter a crewed yacht around a host of beautifully exotic countries and islands. Complete with your own professional captain, personal chef and crew to guide you around your trip, a crewed charter yacht will leave you free to enjoy your destination and take pleasure in scuba diving, snorkelling, swimming and other water sports. Whether your crewed yacht charter visits the Bahamas, the Mediterranean, the British Virgin Islands or somewhere equally as exotic, you will certainly create a mysterious, exciting boating holiday to remember forever.
