For first-timers and seasoned pros alike, most people assume that in order to sail the world''s oceans and rivers you have to sign up with one of the major cruise lines. While cruising with one of the majors is the most common way to sail, there are other options available, such as chartering a private yacht. Before the money alarm bells start going off in your head, it might help to know that in some cases a privately-chartered yacht might make financial sense
As far as sailing destinations go, Gippsland Lakes is just terrific. It''s just a few hours easy drive from Melbourne. This makes it a perfect long weekend sailing destination and the opportunities for diverse interests are absolutely wonderful. Hiring a yacht or cruiser from Riviera Nautic at Metung is a breeze. Friday night on board is free so it''s well worth making the effort to leave as soon as the week is over and settling in before bedtime.
Like the idea of the open ocean or just being your own boss? How about learning to sail a boat in New Zealand? Advance your sailing skills or gain skills to work in the Super-Yacht industry whilst training in some of the best cruising areas in the world. New Zealand could be the place to do it all with the recent introduction of the RYA Practical and Shore-based Sailing courses.
