Winter Sailing Holidays
Blow Away those January Blues
Cold days and dark nights are a world away in our warm winter destinations. Top up your tan and feel the warmth of the sun on your skin as you cruise some of the world’s most exotic sailing destinations.
Discover the captivating island culture of the Caribbean in St. Lucia or Belize, or visit Australia’s Whitsunday Islands to marvel at turtles, manatees, and giant tropical fish gliding below a shimmering cerulean ocean. Dine on delicious barbecued lobster in the Caribbean, snorkel above diverse coral reefs, and soak up the sun on some of the world’s best beaches. On a warm winter holiday, you’ll leave the memory of cold winter nights in your wake as you sail between island paradises and sip gin and tonics from the deck of your own yacht.
