Renting a sailboat with or without a skipper for your holidays is often synonymous with a relaxing vacation immersed between sun and sea. However, this philosophy doesn't have to define your entire experience on a boat. If you're someone who craves adventure and fun, there are numerous sporting activities you can enjoy during your sailing holiday. Let's explore them together!
By hiring a boat with a skipper, you can relax while an experienced professional navigates, allowing you to immerse yourself in various exhilarating activities fully. Sailogy offers a variety of options, including catamaran charter and yacht charter, and the possibility of adding extras to elevate your holiday experience.
The best destinations for practising these exciting water sports are often found in idyllic and scenic coastal areas. The Mediterranean Sea, with its clear waters and gentle winds, offers perfect conditions for sailing, snorkelling, and kayaking. Popular spots include the Greek Islands, Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, and the Amalfi Coast in Italy.
For those interested in kitesurfing and water skiing, the Caribbean provides excellent conditions, with destinations like the British Virgin Islands and the Bahamas offering consistent winds and stunning backdrops. A catamaran charter is ideal in the Caribbean shallow waters, as you will venture to any area and enjoy the experience to the fullest.
Lastly, Seychelles in the Indian Ocean is renowned for its rich marine life, making it a top choice for snorkelling and fishing enthusiasts. Even in this case, we suggest opting for a catamaran charter.

Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP)
It is definitely the most popular activity for those who spend their holidays onboard a sailboat or catamaran. A fun and not too demanding activity, the SUP is also very useful as a means of reaching the mainland as an alternative to the tender. Remember, however, to get a waterproof bag or backpack in which to store your wallet and mobile phone, it's okay to be in shape but it's better not to risk.
.
An excellent alternative to SUP is kayaking. Whether you choose a double or single kayak, it's a great way to combine physical activity with exploration. Ask your Sailogy consultant to check the availability and cost with the charter company for renting a kayak.
.
If you love adrenaline, water skiing is for you. Some charter companies offer the equipment necessary for water skiing. You'll need a tender of at least 40 horsepower and someone with a boat license to drive it, but the thrill is well worth it!
.
For nature and marine life enthusiasts, snorkelling is a must. Dive into the crystal-clear waters to discover stunning seabeds and beautiful coral reefs. Equip yourself with fins and a mask and embark on an underwater adventure.
.
While kitesurfing equipment is usually not available for rent from charter companies, enthusiasts can bring their gear. Take advantage of the wind and waves during your sailing holiday for an unforgettable kitesurfing experience.
.
Fishing is another fantastic activity to enjoy at sea. Check with your Sailogy consultant about renting fishing equipment from the charter company and inquire about any protected areas in your destination. Not only can you indulge in your favourite pastime, but you can also catch your dinner, delighting your crew with fresh fish.
.
Of course, the essence of your holiday is sailing itself. Whether you're a novice or an experienced sailor, there's no better time to refine your sailing techniques. Learn from your skipper or more experienced companions and make the most of this incredible opportunity.
