Choosing a sailing adventure for your next vacation guarantees an amazing experience. Unwind in beautiful surroundings away from the crowds, gain access to concealed coves and remote islands and indulge in a variety of water sports from snorkelling to stand-up paddleboarding.  

The world’s most amazing places for a sailing vacation range from tropical islands to heritage coastlines. Once you’ve found your perfect location, look into arranging a yacht charter for the duration of your trip. Consider the space and facilities you need, and read recent reviews to ensure excellent equipment, delicious food and quality service from an experienced crew. 

The Mediterranean 

Stretching almost 4,000 kilometers from Gibraltar to southeast Turkey, the Mediterranean coastline is arguably Europe’s crowning jewel. Sail its length and you’ll find golden beaches lapped by azure waters and cities steeped in history contrasting with buzzing modern resorts. Scattered beyond the shoreline are isolated islands with beautiful scenery and vibrant nightlife. 

Highlights include historic Athens, a stronghold of Ancient Greece, the French island of Corsica that’s home to Europe’s hardest hiking trail and the colorful cliffside towns of the Amalfi Coast. 

The Bahamas 

Located just beyond Miami, Florida, The Bahamas are easily accessible for US tourists, minimising travel time so little of your vacation is wasted on reaching your sailing destination. 

Sailing the sun-drenched Bahamas is a feast for the senses. Colors are strong, cuisine is sweet and spicy and you can enjoy barefoot living with the sensation of sand between your toes. The many coral reefs of this network of islands are home to mesmerising marine life including gentle sea turtles and playful dolphins.  

The South Pacific 

From popular Australia to little-visited islands in remote locations, sailing the coastal states of the South Pacific is an exotic adventure that not many people have experienced. Expect amazing scenery, plenty of peace and privacy and varied cultures with fascinating traditions.  

Fiji in particular is a highlight. Unspoiled beaches are abundant, backed by swaying coconut palms and fronted by waters offering endless sea-based activities, while inland is tropical rainforest rich with wildlife.   

The Seychelles 

For a taste of a true tropical island paradise look no further than the Seychelles. Africa’s smallest country is a dreamlike sequence of 115 islands with white sandy beaches and lush green interiors, lapped by gentle turquoise waters. 

The main island of Mahé is the best base. Hike through Morne Seychellois National Park and wander breathtaking botanical gardens, visit old rum distilleries and explore the capital Victoria. From here it’s easy to navigate between the islands, and where to go depends on what you want to see. Prioritise wildlife, find the liveliest areas or relax in a romantic retreat.
