Would sailing be a good family holiday? YES!
Thursday, 24th January 2019One of the most frequently asked questions is ‘would sailing be a good family holiday?’ The short answer is YES, it would make a brilliant family holiday!
For most people, their first and fondest memories of summer holidays will be weeks away spent with their immediate family in the school holidays. Whether at a campsite or caravan park, at a theme park, on a cruise ship, in a hotel or a big villa, the holidays are a special time spent together – it’s not often you get to spend more than a couple of days together, but it’s during these breaks that you really find out what your family is about.
But would a sailing holiday work for your family’s ‘main’ summer holiday?
At the other end of the spectrum, those who like to fly and flop on the beach will also feel right at home – they can stick to sunbathing on their own private floating sun-terrace (with or without a good book), and never more than 5m away from their phone, iPad, favourite drink and the cooling sea.
Whatever you / your partner / your kids / your parents want out of a holiday, they’ll certainly be able to find it at sea. There’s no right or wrong way to do it – it’s your holiday, so make of it what you will!
There’s no minimum or maximum age for sailing, and sailing in the Med is very calm and safe – but that doesn’t mean that it can’t also be exhilarating.
The close proximity, shared lives, shared tasks and shared experiences can be a great bonding experience, and it could be just the thing you need to enable you to return from the holiday with a fresh perspective of what’s important in life (and a huge smile on your face).
They make for really memorable holidays, sound amazing in the playground / college / at work, and are something we think everyone should give a go!
So would we recommend a sailing holiday for your next family holiday? Heck, yeah!
