One of the very best things about taking any kind of vacation is the fact that it gives you the chance to get away from your everyday life and explore a world that you’d otherwise never get to experience. And what better way could there be to explore a new world than to get away from dry land and out onto the open water! Sailing is one of the most fantastic things that you can do on any vacation. Giving you a sense of freedom that you simply can’t get anywhere else as well as always giving you something to do. But if you want to go sailing then you’ll need somewhere to do it. Here are a few of the very best sailing destinations in the world.
The French Riviera
When you think of the French Riviera you probably immediately think things like classic cinema and gorgeous celebrities. However, the Riviera has plenty more than that to offer you. If you’re looking for a place to go sailing that is truly romantic, then you really can’t go wrong with a trip to this part of France. With miles of gorgeous coastline to explore as well as some absolutely beautiful areas like Nice and St Tropez where you can do some shopping and experience some wonderful fine dining.
Bay of Islands, New Zealand
Want a little taste of your own private paradise? Then the Bay of Islands is calling your name! There’s a good reason why so many of the world’s greatest sailors hail from this part of the world; it’s because it’s one of the best sailing locations on the face of the earth. With over a hundred islands, most of which are undeveloped, you get the chance to cruise through crystal blue waters and find your own private slice of paradise to call your own, even if it’s just for a little while.
Croatia
Or perhaps you want to take a sailing trip where things are taken care of for you? If that’s the case, then you need to get yourself down to The Big Sail. This company provides some truly stunning sailing trips that take you across some of Croatia’s truly beautiful islands but actually offer full holidays so that you don’t have to worry about anything other than island hopping and enjoying the wonderful sea air and gentle Croatian climate.
British Virgin Islands
If you want a destination that has everything, then you want the Virgin Islands. Whether you’re after white sandy beaches, gorgeous turquoise water, or luxury resorts, you really can’t go wrong. There are boats available in yacht clubs on many of the islands that are perfect for everyone from enthusiastic amateurs to seasoned pros! And if you fancy getting off the deck for a while you can enjoy snorkelling, taking in any of the island’s unique and vibrant cultures, or perhaps just lounging on the beach, soaking up the sun for a while. No matter what you do, the only hard part will be trying to convince yourself to leave!
