5 Reasons to Go on a Luxury Sailing Break
In a post-pandemic world, there is plenty of evidence that sailing is set to be one of the most popular ways to take a break. We are already seeing an increase in early bookings that when combined will see a shortage in 2021 and 2022.
Increasingly, those who have never considered a sailing charter are considering trying it for the first time. Yet, as those who are familiar with booking a charter, it’s far from simple and a level of knowledge and understanding is needed. That or an agent you with whom you have a great deal of trust.
One way those looking to experience sailing for the first time, to “dip your toes”, is to book on a pre-arranged luxury sailing break. You will have much less control, and for the purest, the lack of hands-on sailing is a real disadvantage. Yet, on balance, that’s a distinct advantage for many.
For that reason, we have created this guide to the top 10 luxury sailing breaks in 2021, to help you decide and give ideas of where to go and what to explore.
1.What Is a Luxury Sailing Break
Definition of a Luxury Sailing Break is different from the definition of a Luxury Sailing Charter in the following ways:
- The dates of a Luxury Sailing Break are often set and run in the shoulder seasons.
- A Luxury Sailing Charter is a boat that is available each week for charter.
2.A Voyage of Discovery
If you are sailing for the first time, a Luxury Sailing Break will, above all, give you an insight into what a sailing trip has to offer in terms of accommodation, time spent on the water, how you get to encounter the country you are visiting, take part in extra activities and excursions, and so on.
3.Perfect for Smaller Groups, Couples and Solo Travellers
Those who are familiar with the sailing experience will not need to have the wonderful benefits described to them. Yet one possible obstacle is that to make sailing affordable, it is often more suited to groups. Most luxury sailing yachts as 3 to 5 cabins, which makes is rather expensive as a couple or on your own. A Luxury Sailing Break, which is booked per cabin, is perfect for smaller groups.
4.Specialist Crew
Luxury Sailing Breaks have one significant advantage over a standard charter, where the crew are added as an “extra”. On a cabin charter, an operator is judged on their crew and their reputation too. The crew on this type of sailing are connected with the company and will, as a result, tend to be of a higher standard.
