We offer comprehensive RYA training and qualifications in the sunny Greek Islands.

We are the largest independent sailing holiday company in the UK. We love sailing and so know exactly what goes into an outstanding holiday. We own and run our own flotilla yachts, as well as working with local yacht owners, all sourced from a select pool of suppliers throughout the Mediterranean for more bespoke holiday options.
Sailing Holidays Ltd is the largest British owned and operated flotilla sailing holiday company. We have been in operation for over 40 years, and are proud of our family based culture that has introduced sailing to thousands of people over the years. Sailing Holidays Ltd began life in 1976 as Flotilla Sailing Club.
A flotilla is a group of 10-12 yachts, guided by one of our lead boats, with a Skipper, Engineer and Hostess on board. On a flotilla holiday you can meander around the beautiful Greek Islands in the comfort of your own yacht, living the dream. The flotilla usually consists of around 20-50 people depending on the size of boats and time of year.
To be able to meander around the islands of the Mediterranean, under sail in the sun is a rare privilege that we are proud to offer. The holidays concentrate on the enjoyable aspects of sailing in the sunny Mediterranean islands, allowing those with little experience to have a go (under the watchful eye of our friendly on board Skippers).

I approached my return to yacht sailing after 26 years with some apprehension and having had previous bad experiences. It could not have been better. My doubts disappeared rapidly thanks to the perfect support of the lead crew, who were GB, Alex and Seanna. Always there when needed and sorting out problems with a smile. Calm, supportive and… professional at all times, as well as taking the time to chat over a drink, I really cannot see how they could have done better. The yacht was also perfect for leisure sailing, being clean, well-maintained and a perfect gentleman when sailing (or lady

Had 3 wonderful seasons sailing flotillas with Sailing Holidays, and prefer them to the alternatives in the market, whom we have also used. Their yachts are set up for simple short handed sailing (rather than set up as racing craft). They are very well maintained, and comfortable with all the extras you could need on holiday. Unlike others we have… sailed with, their crew of 3 on every flotilla are knowledgeable of the local area, and will provide support without hesitation nor judgement, when needed. It’s also refreshing that the MD (Barrie) is often seen working hands on the boats
