If your idea of a great holiday involves being close to the water there are a range of holidays that allow you to do as little or as much as you want. With an AITO specialist operator, qualified sailors can charter their own yachts and choose the pace and destination of their yachting holiday. Hiring a professional skipper or travelling on a fully crewed boat are other options. If you prefer to sleep on dry land, why not stay in a resort where  the whole family can learn how to sail.  Or why not take a luxury cruising holiday - watch from the deck as the next sandy beach comes into view or sip cocktails on a huge liner touring the tropics.

Yachting Holidays

Yachts can cater for different sized groups and provide varying levels of professional crews depending on your own qualifications and confidence.

River Cruises

River cruise boats generally have between two and 12 berths. Many of these luxury cruise holidays welcome beginners but others require some experience, your operator will be happy to advise you.

Mix & Match

Some operators also allow you to mix and match your holiday so you can spend a week in a resort and a week on a yachting holiday, luxury cruise or luxury sailing trip. Most resorts offer a good range of facilities and activities for non-sailors and children including day clubs and crèches.
