Set sail with us in the Mediterranean and discover Turkey, Greece and Cyprus!
What We Do?
Fair Winds Sailing offers services for you to book your charter holiday with confidence using only the best charter companies. We have access to hundreds of charter yachts, world wide, but we like to concentrate on offering only the best, from charter companies we know personally, and can recommend. We can also advise on flotilla holidays, offer bare boat itineraries, let you know the best restaurants to eat at, what mooring facilities are available in the bays, and can even book your restaurants for you if you wish. The goal is to ensure clients have a memorable holiday filled with adventure, luxury, and comfort.
Alongside this Fair Winds Sailing can arrange training through our partner companies in both Turkey and Greece. We only recommend RYA (Royal Yachting Association) recognised training centres for certificated courses at beginner and intermediate level in Yachting/Powerboating plus all the additional shore based qualifications you may require such as VHF radio, First Aid and Sea Survival. If you wish to have some non-certificated training then we are able to assist with anything you wish to practice, either on your own or chartered boat. We can provide a knowledgable and experienced Skipper for you should you wish to have a more restful holiday, and even a hostess if you really want to take it easy and have everything taken care of for you.
Fair Winds Sailing also offer services to existing RYA Training centres on a freelance basis, just check out our RYA Instructor Services page for more information.
