Activity Holiday Company Encourages People to Sail
WEDNESDAY, 23 JULY 2008
CRAWLEY, UK - The long-term trend in the UK holiday market of more and more customer interest in holidays that offer opportunities to try out new sports and activities continues. Travel companies are seeing increasing numbers of people wanting a mix of "activity" and "relaxation".
To build on the success it has seen with the range of beach clubs it already offers (which feature sailing), Justactive.co.uk has now added one week "learn to sail a yacht" holidays in Greece.
Most people learn to sail in a dinghy (a small, open boat) as they are highly responsive boats and one of the best ways of getting a real "feel" for how a boat moves in the wind. However, for a holiday "experience", being at the helm of a nice yacht, sailing along in the Mediterranean with blue water underneath you and the sun on your back is a hard one to beat. This experience is now available through Justactive.co.uk.
Holidaymakers taking part in these "learn to sail" weeks live on their yacht for the week and have daily tuition until they are competent to sail the yacht without an instructor. On day four or five of their first week, people are ready to go and join a "flotilla" with a group of other yachts for a few days of sailing in company - a really sociable and enjoyable end to the first week. People are often surprised at how quickly they progress on these courses and how quickly they feel comfortable being in charge of a yacht. Navigation is usually "line of site" and therefore very simple and as the Mediterranean has no tides, many of the hazards faced in other parts of the world are not present.
If customers then want a two-week holiday, they can then either follow their first "learn to sail a yacht" week with a complete one-week flotilla or have the second week at a beach club.
Most beach club holiday centers offer many activities and facilities for non-sailors to keep themselves occupied including swimming pools, mountain bikes, water skiing, tennis, beauty spas, and gymnasiums.
Justactive.co.uk is pleased to be increasing the level of choice for their customers by the addition of these "learn to sail a yacht" holidays. More details can be found at www.justactive.co.uk. /24-7PressRelease/
