Once the exclusive domain of the rich, yachting is now one of the fastest growing activities for those of more modest means. As well as a global range of destinations where you can charter you own vessel, either bareboat or with a crew, beginners can also learn the ropes ashore or sail on a flotilla in the company of other yachts including one with an experienced skipper.

Sunsail says
We have more than 35 years of experience in organising sailing holidays and close to 1,000 yachts in 30 locations across the globe – the Caribbean, Mediterranean, UK, Far East, South Pacific and Indian Ocean.
We offer a choice of bareboat yacht charter holidays, beach clubs, flotilla holidays for group sailing experiences and sailing schools. All that choice and experience means that our sailing holidays are ideal for singles, couples, families and groups of friends, whether you are total novices, experienced yachtsmen or somewhere in between.
One of our most popular sailing holidays is a Flotilla sailing holiday in the Ionian Islands. Enjoy sailing your own comfortable yacht, with the company of other yachts including one of our own lead yachts, crewed by a highly experienced crew.
There’s also an option to spend the first week learning the basics (or refreshing your knowledge) while relaxing at our own Beach Club in Greece.
Experienced sailors may prefer their own yacht charter holiday. We have a world-class fleet of monohull yachts and spacious catamarans throughout the world’s prime sailing grounds – also available as a skippered yacht charter if you would prefer to leave the technical side of things to a friendly and discreet professional.
If you want to learn to sail, brush up on your skills or advance your professional sailing qualifications, our sailing schools in the UK, the Med, the Caribbean and further afield offer RYA courses for all levels.
