The Benefits of a Family Sailing Trip: Unplugged and Unforgettable

Writer: Hugo MillsHugo Mills

Updated: 10 hours ago

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s rare to find a moment where everyone truly disconnects and spends time together. Between work emails, social media and endless notifications, quality family time can feel like a distant memory. But what if there was a way to escape it all, no screens, no distractions, just fresh air, open water and unforgettable moments?

Can you switch off and be present on a family sailing trip?

Absolutely. The moment you step aboard, the usual distractions fade away. Phones lose signal, emails can’t ping and suddenly, you’re not checking notifications, you feel the sun on your face and the breeze in your hair. It’s the perfect opportunity to engage with your family, with nothing but the sea and each other to focus on.


What makes sailing such a fun and engaging experience?

Sailing is hands-on, exciting and different from any other family activity. Everyone can get involved, whether hoisting the sails, steering the yacht, or spotting wildlife. Kids love the adventure, parents enjoy the peaceful escape and together, you’ll experience the thrill of sailing.

Is sailing just about relaxation, or is there adventure too?

It’s both! Whether you’re craving a peaceful afternoon on deck, or a more action-packed experience where you take the helm and learn the ropes, sailing offers something for everyone. Salty Sailing provides everything from gentle coastal cruises to exhilarating adventures where you can explore the coast and visit scenic harbours.


What new skills will we pick up?

Sailing is not just fun, it’s educational too. Kids and adults alike can learn basic navigation, understand wind patterns and develop problem-solving skills in a real-world setting. Our knowledgeable crew members are on hand to share insights and teach practical skills, making it an enriching experience for everyone on board.
