Sunsail Introduces Exciting New Sailing Holiday Product

Sunsail, the world’s leading sailing holiday company, has introduced the most affordable and convenient way to experience a luxury sailing holiday in exotic new cruising grounds.

By the Cabin Sailing Holidays offer the opportunity to book a private cabin aboard a luxury Sunsail yacht for an unforgettable sailing getaway through the exotic waterways of the Whitsunday islands, Tahiti, Thailand and Vietnam with a professional skipper and host.

This innovative new holiday concept will commence in May 2006 and will allow guests to simply relax or become actively involved in helping sail the yacht between each stunning anchorage. No previous sailing experience is required and each trip accommodates up to eight guests plus two crew.

By the Cabin Sailing Holidays start from AUD$800 for a 3-night cruise in Thailand and AUD$1,100 for a 3-night cruise in the Whitsunday Islands.

Package costs include twin share accommodation in a private double cabin, professional skipper and host/cook, marine park taxes, all meals and beverages (BYO alcohol), linen plus the use of the yachts’ windsurfers, kayaks and snorkelling equipment throughout the holiday.

These special holidays are available from Sunsail’s bases in the Whitsundays, Phuket in Thailand, Raiatea in French Polynesia and Nha Trang in Vietnam.

Full gourmet provisioning is provided and prepared by the yacht’s host, using the freshest daily ingredients to create meals that reflect the traditional cuisine of the cruising area.

Sunsail Asia Pacific Director Greg Boller said the new product was created in response to a need to cater for those who wanted to experience a luxury and affordable sailing holiday with personalised service.

“Our new By the Cabin Sailing Holidays now give people the opportunity to unleash their spirit of adventure and explore exotic destinations while enjoying the hospitality and expertise of Sunsail’s professional crew,” Mr Boller said.

“This is a superb and cost-efficient way for holidaymakers to get off the beaten track and experience a holiday unlike any other,” he said.

By the Cabin Sailing Holidays are hosted aboard a selection of Sunsail’s luxury yachts and catamarans ranging from 46 to 50 feet in size, giving each guest ample room to relax and unwind.
