Favourite UK Sailing Holiday Destinations

'Simply messing about in boats' on rivers, lakes and the sea for that matter isn't everyone's cup of tea, but for those of you who truly love being atop the water, you're in luck.

Our team have put together some handy information which can act as your guide to some of the UK's favourite sailing spots, for the experienced and novice sailor. We've also included other kinds of boating activities, from sea fishing off the Cornish coast to pottering around the Norfolk Broads, so there should be something to suit everyone's tastes. Being an island, we have plenty of options when it comes to finding open water, as we do with our holiday cottages which are both abundant and all well positioned for sailing and the like.
