Learn to Sail Holidays

If you like to relax by the sea on your holidays, but find sunbathing or swimming too sedate and water sports noisy and too much like hard work, you might consider spending your holiday on board a boat, ship or yacht. And if cruising is not quite up your street, why not try and learn to sail a boat yourself? Sailing is a brilliant and exciting way of being in charge of your own holiday and being able to see and visit the most beautiful destinations in the world. Of course, you can’t just sail away. Handling a boat needs expertise and experience.

Search for a learn to sail holiday on our website and take a look at the beautiful locations you can spend your holiday in, whilst taking a sailing course at the same time. There are destinations all over the world ranging from London and Kent to Greece, Turkey and the British Virgin Islands. All said though, for many people the most popular locations for learning to sail are the Aegean and Ionian Seas. Relaxing on a yacht in those turquoise tranquil waters, whilst learning the tricks of the trade will be a really unique holiday experience.

All courses cater for beginners, whilst also accommodating people with varying degrees of newly learnt or rusty skills. You can chose, whether to learn “the ropes” on your own chartered yacht, or whether to muck in with other like-minded people on a training boat. It is entirely up to you, depending on whether you are holidaying on your own, with friends or make it a family holiday of a lifetime. You will spend your days working hard as a team, learning plenty of new things and having a laugh, and at the end of the day you relax with a glass in your hand a smile on your face.

There are so many courses to choose from. All courses teach beginners the most basic techniques, such as how to tie knots, steer the yacht, handle the sails, moor and anchor the boat. You will acquire competence in navigation and the skills to become a competent and sought after crew member. So whilst you’re holidaying you can progress from novice to RYA Yachtmaster. There are RYA Competent Crew courses with accredited centres in Gibraltar and Turkey. And you never know, by the end of your holiday you might be able to skipper the yacht yourself.

So, if you love being outdoors in the sunshine and in the open water, if you love beautiful boats and working as a team, then sailing might just be the thing for you. It can take all sorts of different activity holidays to find the right one for you, but sailing guarantees making new friends, rewarding work in a team and a great deal of camaraderie on board. And, of course, no one can take those hard earned skills away from you, once you have achieved your certificate or competence. The only difference is, that you will have achieved those on holiday.
