See what makes a family sailing holiday so special..

A sailing holiday really makes for a memorable family holiday, as there is nothing else like the continual entertainment from sailing the high seas together.  No matter how young or old, big or small the ‘apple of your eye’ is, a family sailing holiday offers something for everyone from anchoring in a bay for an afternoon dip, to snorkelling with the fishes, to eating out at a beach front taverna, to seeing phosphorus for the first time, to clear starry skies and all of this from your own yacht.

The entertainment isn’t limited just to being on board, as once ashore you’ve ancient Greek amphitheatres or the bustling Bazaars of Turkey and charming town squares awaiting you. 

We’ve put together a few suggestions for your family sailing holiday which we think the whole family will enjoy.

Ionian Islands of Greece

The Ionian Islands are a fantastic sailing area for the whole family. With crystal clear waters, short hop sailing and great little towns, the Ionian is deservedly a favourite for British families. With light winds the Ionian also offers relatively gentle conditions in which to introduce your family to a sailing holiday. Click here for more about bareboat charters in the Ionian Islands...

Saronic Islands of Greece

The Saronic Islands are another family friendly location with short sailing legs and plenty to do when moored up at night. From the base in Athens, the closest island of Aegina is only 13NM away. This pattern continues throughout the holiday with the islands of Hydra, Spetses, and Poros all within a stones throw of each other. At night you can walk the car-free streets of Hydra or even see a play in 1000 year old amphitheatre. Magic. Click here to see more about a bareboat charter in the Saronic islands....
