Choosing the Best Place to go Charter Boat Sailing
Let us introduce you to all the top-rating sailing destinations the world has to offer: beautiful places where there's a wide choice of modern catamarans, monohull yachts, motor boats and traditional sailing vessels available for your bareboating or crewed boat charter.
We travel extensively to research and review all the world's popular sailing destinations, inspecting our charter boat fleets to ensure maintenance standards and design suitability. We collect the best local knowledge available on all the places we operate, recommending destinations that meet your budget, interests, level of sailing experience and group needs. We share our accumulated knowledge for you to make your informed choices, before you go sailing on the holiday of a lifetime.
Sail Connections can place you on a bareboat or crewed charter in just about any sailing destination world-wide.
On the one hand the major sailing hubs offer permanently-located boats with good operators and the perfect packages for destinations that they know intimately: the Greek Islands, Croatia and the whole northern Med., Tahiti, Thailand and the Caribbean hotspots.
On the other hand, there are the smaller companies who excel in their flexibility, alternating between the seasons in different locations. This is particularly the case with the trans-Atlantic shuffle: boats domiciled in the Mediterranean that move to the Caribbean when the seasons change, working the Americas according to booking demand. These are the companies we go to with enquiries for less renowned but equally appealing charter destinations. Places such as the Canary Islands, Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao-San Blas, Bocas del Toro and the Grenadines.
If you have the time and the budget we can make it happen: in the most iconic sailing locations on the planet, and in places less travelled.
