Sailing Holidays UK & France | Bareboat Yacht Charter

Book Early for 2012

Our sailing holidays can be a mixture of activities, explorations ashore and pure relaxation. We aim to arrive at a new harbour or anchorage each evening after the day's sailing. Whichever direction we head in there are many interesting places to visit.

We set sail with mixed parties on board; single people, couples, friends or families, who book by the berth. However, it is also possible for private parties to charter an entire vessel ( please Contact Us for details).

On board all the boats teamwork is the order of the day. Everyone can join in under the expert guidance of the skipper. Alternatively, you can just tuck yourself up in a corner with a good book - how much or how little you choose to do on your sailing holiday is entirely up to you.

What is Bareboat Charter? A bareboat charter is where you hire and sail the yacht yourself with no crew. As the name suggests bareboat is literally a 'bare' yacht with standard equipment required to sail and be comfortable, such as linen, navigation and safety equipment.

A frequent question is whether there is back up support when taking a bareboat; the answer is always yes! just because you're taking a bareboat yacht does not mean we'll see you in a week when you return. There is on the water support, whether you're just a metre out of the marina or miles away!

Not a sailor? No qualification yet? Want a chauffeur? No problem! A sailing holiday is not restricted to those who have been born at sea! It's a great activity even for those who've never left the shore before!. If you can't, or don't want to sail and would like to give it a go or a sailor who hasn't got their skippers ticket yet then don't worry' We also have Skippered charters too.

We charter you a sailing yacht with a skipper who effectively 'drives' the boat for you, and you, your friends and/or your family can muck in as much or as little as you like; this is a great activity holiday foreveryone. Alternatively, if sipping a cool beer on deck is more your thing then you can leave it to the skipper to do the work.
