Swap the skis for sails

Its summer, the ski resorts are closed, and you’re wondering what to do for your summer holiday. If the thought of just lying on the beach fills you with dread, and you’re looking for a challenge this summer (or next) we have the perfect answer.

If you love the fresh air, mountain scenery, adventure & sense of achievement that a skiing holiday provides, then a sailing holiday might just be for you. Learn a new skill, discover a different place every day, enjoy breath-taking scenery & mouth-watering local cuisine, and meet like-minded people in a relaxed environment… sound tempting? There is absolutely no doubt that if you love skiing, you’ll love sailing.

Our friends at ‘Sailing Holidays’ have a very similar ethos to us, they are a family run business who take pride in their holidays, they recruit the right people to ensure you have the best possible holiday and their clients return year after year. We’re happy to recommend them.

Don’t be put off. Sailing Holidays are the only UK Company who can provide tuition for complete beginners allowing you to join a flotilla and learn to sail whilst you’re on holiday. 

If you enjoy the convivial atmosphere of a larger shared chalet then a flotilla holiday is a great option. Share a boat with your other half, friends or family and enjoy sailing by yourselves during the day, with the option to socialise and wind down with other like-minded sailors in the evening. If you are an individual or couple looking to join a crew, the ‘share-a-yacht’ option offers the perfect opportunity to spend a couple of weeks away from it all, making new friends whilst sailing in the sun. 

Lucky you…if you are already qualified to a minimum of a Day Skipper Practical Certificate or an ICC (International Certificate of Competency) then Sailing Holidays offer bareboat in Turkey, Spain, Croatia, Italy and Greece. 

Don’t wait until this winter for your next adventure, for more details of what our friends at Sailing Holidays offer click here. If you are tempted, be quick, they’re booking up fast for this summer.
