Sailing holiday is a unique way to spend your vacation. Far from the frenzied crowds that are usually abuzz in popular tourist destinations, a sailing holiday sets you in tropical waters surrounded by majestic mountains and beautiful shorelines as the bright sun cheers you by day and the warm glow of the moon comforts you by night.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."  -- Mark Twain

Depending on your preferences, sailing holidays can include bareboat charters, crewed charters, or flotillas.

If you want to enjoy the freedom of bareboat sailing but you are not yet confident to sail on your own, joining a flotilla charter is the best option for your sailing holiday. Here, you join a group of boats and follow a lead ship that is fully crewed with a skipper, yacht engineer and a hostess. You will follow a pre-arranged route that includes stops in designated anchorages where you get the chance to socialize and party with others in the flotilla.

Choosing your sailing holidayThere are hundreds of destinations where you can go on your sailing holiday. The choice is really up to you. Do you want the beat of the Caribbean seas? The historic mystic of the Greek isles? The charm of Italy's picturesque landscape? Australia's water sports and activities? The choices stretch to the horizons, so to speak. But whatever destination you take, your sailing holiday will surely leave you rejuvenated and refreshed.
