Tip 1: How to organize a holiday on a yacht
For a long time you dream of traveling on a sailing yacht, butAre you sure that this is not available? More often in social networks you can see photos of friends who conquered the elements under sail, and wonder how they managed to do it? Now we will tell you all about how to travel and rest on a yacht, and why it is not more expensive than the usual beach holiday.
Zero line from the sea
It is only necessary to sound the word "yacht", andImagination immediately draws glossy pictures of a beautiful life. A dazzling white yacht slides over the sea against the background of amazing landscapes, sunlight flashes in the blue waves and glasses of champagne, and the sea breeze fills the sails and waves the beauties in bikinis, while the luxurious men in white trousers and expensive polo, standing behind the wheel, calmly and boldly look into the distance ...
In sea voyages on a yacht, everything is reallySo. Well, or almost so. You can really visit the most picturesque places, where you will never get in any other way, you will see the most beautiful sunsets over the sea, try the best local cuisine and, of course, will stand up for the helm of a snow-white beauty.
The only misconception is one: a yacht is expensive and accessible only to a limited number of people. This is not so at all. Weekly yacht trip will cost you about the same money as a beach holiday in a hotel in Turkey, Greece, Egypt or Spain. Why? Because a modern sailing yacht is both a means of transportation and a comfortable house equipped with comfortable cabins, a kitchen (galley), toilets (latrines) and even a shower. The wardroom easily accommodates the entire crew of the boat and will become an excellent living and dining room, and for a romantic dinner at sunset the fodder area - cockpit, which successfully replaces the balcony, veranda and patio, can be used. And the cost of renting a yacht for a week per person is on average the same as hotel accommodation for the same time.
But only once went to the seatravel on a yacht, you will forever forget what "all inclusive" and "first line" are. From now on your line from the sea will always be zero, and included in your vacation will be so much that the impressions will last for a whole year.
