What do You Want in a Sailing Vacation?
Whether tacking crisply to catch the best of the available breezes or sipping a glass of wine while watching a spectacular Mediterranean sunset, sailing provides a luxurious experience for all who participate.
Sailing is a lifestyle - one that combines elements of a moderately active sport with cultural tourism - topped off with the leisure and dining associated with first class resorts. I will paint you a picture.....
The Marina
You arrive at the marina, where the JSea, a world class yacht is snugly berthed amid a United Nations of other beautiful yachts. Boat enthusiasts from many countries go about their daily life in a relaxed and peaceful environment. Some are busy tending to marine chores while others are quietly sunbathing on deck. Your neighbours could be from home or from some European or Asian country. Everybody is friendly and courteous and may extend an invitation to visit them later.
The Cruise
Your captain, John Cuzner welcomes you aboard and graciously helps you get settled in. After some yacht orientation, it is time to relax and enjoy. For the afternoon, John has arranged a leisurely cruise of some local historic sites. Bathed in the Mediterranean sun, you set sail - gently cruising out of the harbor. Amid soft mountains rising out of the sea, exquisite Turkish gulets (wooden sailboats) and other pleasure craft, the JSea gracefully takes to the sea. As the breeze picks up, John unfurls the mainsail and soon the JSea is carving its course across the incredibly mavi (blue) water.
The Tour
Upon arrival at your destination, the JSea may either berth in a local marina, or simply anchor up in a quiet bay. After a short ride in the motorized dinghy, you set foot upon an ancient shore where history is measured in thousands of years. Ancient ruins, quaint villages, sandy beaches, local markets buzzing with tourists and locals alike, or historic castles may be the subject of your afternoon. Make sure you bring your camera! Go for lunch and enjoy the local cuisine or simply stay on the yacht and catch some zzzz's in the hot sun of the day - it's your choice - it's your vacation! |
Move your mouse over the above links to view a mini slideshow.
Whether out on the open water, visiting the seaside towns of southern Turkey, or exploring the sites of Israel, Greece and Egypt, you will experience many visual delightsso bring your cameras and camcorders. The J’Sea has all the necessary equipment to charge your batteries - whether 110v or 220v.
The Evening
After a fascinating day of exploring and sailing, it is time for dinner and perhaps dancing. If anchored in a remote bay, you may choose to cook an exquisite dinner and relax on the rear salon of the yacht. With full showers and personal head facilities, you prepare to party or relax. As the evening sun sets in spectacular glory, you raise a glass of wine and enjoy pleasant camaraderie with your yacht mates. If in a marina, you may be invited to join someone you met earlier for cocktails on their yacht. Some of you may decide to go into town to dance the night away in the myriad of nightclubs. And once all is said and done, slip between the sheets in your private cabin and let the waves gently lapping against the J'Sea put you soundly to sleep.
Aaaaaah! It's the life! It's the best!
