Stay and Sail Holidays are a great way to experience a charter for people that may be unsure whether they will enjoy a full week aboard yacht. For some there may be a fear of sea sickness or the feeling of being trapped on-board with other people. Stay and Sail is becoming an increasingly popular vacation combining a stay ashore with a yacht cruise. Typically, a week will be split with days ashore with days on a sailing yacht. The stay ashore may be in a resort hotel or a villa. You really get the best of both worlds.
