Family sailing holidays ... trying something new

 

A family sailing holiday is more fun than most people realise, and as mum, dad or one of the kids, you don't need any qualifications or experience.

Our family skippered yachting holidays let you focus on having a relaxing time with your family while we look after the rest. If you know places you'd like to visit or things you'd like to do along the way, you're welcome to meet or contact us and we'll include them.

Depending on the age of your family - adults, teens or pre-teens we'll recommend the area to sail in and suggest some islands to consider based on our experience and feedback from running family yachting holidays since 2004.

For families new to sailing our holidays offer:

 

Models to accommodate extended family and friends with their own bathroom or ensuite

A range of yachts to create your own private flotilla

No need to budget for cinema, entertainment and holiday wet days because every day is a fun packed day on a yacht

Fully equipped onboard catering facilities so you don't have to eat out unless you want to.

This makes the cost of onboard food, drinks and snacks a fraction of what you usually spend on summer holidays

A different Island every day without needing to pack your bag or wait for ferries

Bed linen, face and shower towels so you can pack less

Cabins with wardrobe and shelving to stow luggage and make everybody feel at home

Harbours and marinas close to airports that are one bus or a car ride to the yacht

Try stand up paddle boarding, windsurfing, kayaking, jet skiing or cycling

Snorkel and explore off the dinghy (small second boat with engine that comes with all of our yacht charters

 

Small and Personal

 

Our small company approach ensures a more personal and tailored family sailing holiday experience creating the perfect environment and atmosphere that allows you to completely relax and enjoy the mix of swimming, snorkelling, exploring, and generally having a fun summer holiday.

 

Joining as a family you have the option of:

 

1. A tailored private yacht tour or

2. Our flotilla of family skippered yachts from Dubrovnik where you sail to the best Islands and experiences in the area. With a personal skipper and dedicated yacht for your family you will meet other families in the evenings and at some of the swimstops during the day so it becomes a social trip for parents and kids.

 

Onboard features and equipment

 

Our boats come fully equipped with all safety and navigation equipment, hot water showers, deck shower, stereo, swimming ladder, fully equipped chart table, kitchen, cabins and a removable canopy for shade over the outdoor table and seating area is at the back of the yacht.

The waters we sail in are very safe for families that have never holidayed on a boat before. We take you to beaches, bays with crystal clear water for swimming in and along the scenic sailing routes because this is what a sailing holiday is all about.

In addition to only using commercially surveyed yachts, the team behind the trips are fully qualified and are our own internal team and not a supply or lastminute skipper. For families interested in being involved in the yacht and learning to sail, we show and involve you in map-reading, navigation, tying knots, route planning, anchoring, fender usage, and sail preparation.
