If you’ve been enjoying holidays with your feet firmly on the ground for the most part, now’s the time to consider making a change. Sailing holidays take vacation time to a whole new level that’s not to be missed. With year-round options available, family and friends can enjoy a summer adventure together anytime, regardless of the weather back home. Here are a few reasons to consider a sailing holiday for your next vacation adventure.
Travel
If you’re interested in travel, there’s no better way to get around than by sailboat. The very nature of big and small boats is to transport people from one place to another. Be it a short break or a prolonged trip; it’s easy to take in multiple breath-taking locations. Many difficult-to-reach locations can only be accessed by boat, so you can depart from a bustling metropolis and find yourself in secluded isolation within a matter of hours in a way that’s hard to find inland.
Fun
There’s always something to do when holidaying onboard. Step out of your stateroom to enjoy swimming, snorkeling, jet-skiing, or learning to wakeskate, plus much more. Off the water, lie back and relax in the sun with a glass of champagne or perhaps try your hand at fishing. There’s a water sport for everyone, and they can all indulge to their heart’s content when boat-based.
Flexibility
Booking into a hotel and realizing the location isn’t great is frustrating and can quickly ruin a much-anticipated getaway. Changing hotels is an expensive hassle with no guarantee of rooms somewhere nice nearby. When your home-away-from-home is a sailboat heading somewhere new is as easy as pulling up the anchor and moving on. You don’t have to repack the bags and scramble to find a new hotel because your stateroom is with you.
Learn New Skills
One of the attractions of a sailing holiday is the varying degrees of sailing available. For some chartering a yacht and then relaxing while someone else does all the hard work is ideal. For those who enjoy a challenge, there are plenty of options to join a crew and try your hand at sailing a multi-berth yacht. It’s a fantastic way to learn new skills and meet like-minded people while seeing new parts of the world.
Unique Celebrations
Heading out sailing is the ultimate way to throw an unforgettable celebration. Why take the family to the same old restaurant to celebrate one of life’s milestones when you can whisk them away for a long weekend on a luxury yacht? Those at the center of the celebration will appreciate their guests coming away for them. And it’ll be a memorable event for all regardless of how fancy or low-key the activities involved are because getting away by boat is always unique.
If you haven’t already tried one, there a many exciting reasons to consider a sailing trip for your next vacation. From indulging in numerous water sports to exploring secluded locations, you can create the ultimate break for any occasion.
