Easter Holidays on a sailing boat

Easter Guide

Unplug for a few days and fully enjoy the first sunny days of spring. Whether you choose the Mediterranean or one of the exotic destinations, Easter is the best time to get a foretaste of summer on a sailboat.

Why go sailing at Easter? Perhaps the question to ask is why not? For a vacation that is out of the ordinary and different from the classic weekend in the city, Easter sailing is the right option to lash the monotony. 

This bridge, it is perfect for recharging your energy anticipating the coming summer and spending special days together with your family or in the company of new friends. You can discover never-before-seen places or nearby well-known locations but see them from a different point of view; you can even indulge in a few extra days and opt for the exotic destinations you've been dreaming of. For many destinations you can choose between sailing boat or catamaran, with skipper or without, the choice is yours. 

Quite a dilemma, because wherever the destination will be, the result will be the same: an unforgettable vacation!

The best destinations to celebrate Easter on a sailing boat

The pristine paradise of the Seychelles

If you have more vacation days available and can give yourself at least a week off, there is no doubt that the best destination is the Seychelles. In fact, April is the best time to sail here; the chance of rain is almost zero and temperatures during the day are between 24°C and 31°C.

Located off the coast of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles archipelago consists of a hundred or so islands full of beautiful nature: lush vegetation and heavenly beaches of the finest sand among the most beautiful in the world. You can take a flight to Mahè and head to Eden Island, the departure base for most cruises. There are numerous relaxing catamaran vacations during which you can snorkel and dive the crystal-clear waters to discover pristine coral reefs or simply sunbathe! You will sail from one paradise to another discovering the beautiful pearls that make up this fascinating corner of the world.

A long weekend exploring Italian treasures

The Easter weekend can be an excellent opportunity to discover places closer to home, often underrated but full of surprises. Those departing from northern Italy will be spoiled for choice: Liguria, with the unparalleled Cinque Terre and the Gulf of Tigullio; the Gulf of Trieste, where you can admire romantic Venice from the boat and with a fair wind reach the nearby coast of Istria; and the Tuscan Archipelago, for a sailing and trekking vacation. Those leaving from the center-south, on the other hand, will be comfortable heading to Anzio or Nettuno and embarking for the Pontine Islands, or discovering the Gulf of Naples with the Flegrean Islands and the exclusive Amalfi Coast with its colorful villages overlooking the sea that seen from the boat have a whole other charm. 

In this period you can also find the first Whale Watching cruises proposed in collaboration with WWF Travel where you will sail to discover cetaceans accompanied by skipper and certified biologist.

The exclusive French Riviera

Menton, Monte Carlo, Cannes, Nice and Saint Tropez are just some of the locations you can include in your itinerary. Elegant and glamorous places, a corner of paradise that will impress you with the beauty of its sea and the spectacularity and variety of colors. 

This is a destination suitable for everyone, for those who already have experience and also for families, for novices and for those who want to try their hand for the first few times at running a boat. The navigation will be purely coastal, without any particular difficulties and with numerous landings in which to shelter in case of bad weather.
