The Sailing Solution for Shoppers

There are few things in life that we enjoy more than sailing. And by contrast, there are few things we dislike more than battling crowds of over-amped shoppers during the holiday season, while struggling to find meaningful gifts for the people we love.

If you can relate, we have a suggestion that could eliminate a great deal of pre-holiday stress, while potentially making you a hero: Instead of wasting your hard-earned cash on cheesy gifts that have a strong likelihood of being shelved out of sight in a closet or re-gifted, why not give the ‘gift of sailing’ in one form or another. That is, give friends or family members who are sailors gift certificates from marine retailers, boatyards, rigging services, sailmakers and the like. And give non-sailing friends a voucher for a daysail (see a full list of options at our site), or a gift certificate for introductory sailing lessons. And if you really want to score points, how about gifting a yacht charter in some dreamy tropical location?

If you love sailing as much as we do, these suggestions will help you extend that passion to the people in your life that you feel most passionate about. Brilliant, right? So what are you waiting for, get your shopping done today so you’ll have more free time to relax, enjoy the happier side of the holidays, and spend some time out on the water.
