A sailing holiday gives you the opportunity to travel by sea while continuing to pursue your own passions. Increasingly, it is possible to spend time on board among a thousand activities in an exhilarating atmosphere alongside other people. Going sailing today means setting sail and making new acquaintances.

One, ten, a thousand sailing holidays

While crossing the seas of the Mediterranean or sailing along the Greek islands, you can enjoy a wide variety of activities: this is one of the distinctive features of the Sailsquare platform, which offers sailing holidays online and through which users can find the right solution for a wonderful experience with people who share the same passion. The site also features very particular themed holidays that bring the world of sailing closer to other hobbies.

As well as meeting new friends on board, everyone will be united by a shared desire or interest. In today's world, overrun with apps for making new connections and socialising, even a sailing holiday — where the majority of people have come aboard individually — can be the place where friendships are born that last over time, or why not, new love stories too.

Yoga, kite or wellness for a sailing holiday

There are countless examples of "themed" holidays to embark on combining sea, passions and new friends: yoga, sailing and fun are guaranteed between Ibiza and Formentera and the most beautiful coves of the two islands. For those who wish, yoga and meditation can be practised on board surrounded by a landscape full of beauty and charm, and you can enjoy the excellent culinary specialities that the skipper and hostess will prepare daily while everyone else simply relaxes and enjoys the sailing.

If you love sailing, kitesurfing and photography, across the seas of the Mediterranean, on board your own vessel you can make use of an AKI-FIV accredited instructor for lessons and assistance, and a professional photographer who will capture the most beautiful moments. The boat offering this service on Sailsquare is Francesco's: a highly luxurious vessel that will sail among the breathtaking bays of northern Sardinia, spending an entire week on the water, living an unforgettable life at sea and on board.

For those interested in history and culture, the flotilla for the Feast of the Redeemer in Venice is not to be missed. The beauty of Venice reaches its peak with the Feast of the Redeemer: for just one day a year, the island of Giudecca is joined to the other islands of the city by a bridge of boats, in the evening the traffic comes to a halt and the basin of San Marco fills with boats of every kind, the banks crowd with thousands of people and everyone looks up to await the spectacular fireworks that illuminate the domes and rooftops of the city.

A sailing boat also allows for complete relaxation and wellbeing: a weekend on the most beautiful island of the Tuscan Archipelago on board a comfortable boat lent for the occasion to a postural gymnastics instructor and masseuse, who will teach the most suitable exercises for adopting the correct postures in everyday life.

Wellbeing also means eating healthily, and this is possible even on a sailing boat, at the Aeolian Islands, immersed in the crystal-clear sea and the energy of the volcanoes: seven days together with a skipper and a chef expert in nutrition and stress reduction to regenerate body and mind, who will draw up a personalised menu for the occasion. Absolute relaxation, carefully chosen itineraries, fresh fruit and vegetable juices, cleansing herbal teas, selected natural products from the islands — all meticulously planned to promote balance and detoxify the body, supported by the nature of the enchanting and unique Aeolian Islands. A holiday of intense and restorative wellbeing. During the week, walks on the islands, volcano hikes and exercises to move the body and steady the mind will be on offer.

For those in search of pure fun on board real floating villages, there are flotillas: in this case, summer is synonymous with fun, cheerfulness and new acquaintances. The target age group generally ranges from 26 to 40 depending on the period and location, but for everyone the constant is entertainment in a unique atmosphere.
