Australia has so much to offer those lucky enough to call the land down under home. From epic beaches and coastline to outback desert adventures, mountain adventures to urban exploration, coral reefs to unusually unique wildlife, Australia really has got something for everyone. Surfers looking to ride some epic waves can hang ten at any of the world famous spots along New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia. If surfing not your thing but you still love the water, head northeast to Queensland to snorkel or dive along the Great Barrier Reef to see one of the seven wonders of the natural world and the only living thing on earth visible from space. If the sea is not your thing, consider road tripping through the outback to Ayers Rock to experience a different side to Australia’s wildlife and bush. For those who want an entirely different adventure, consider taking a boating holiday instead. Let’s take a closer look at some of the reasons why you should consider a boating holiday for your next adventure.
Two-For-One Holiday
Your holiday becomes a two-in-one where your means of transportation also becomes your accommodation as well. You don’t have to worry about the added costs of travel and room and board because many boats today come well-equipped with all of the basic necessities like a kitchen and shower facilities. Travellers only need look for boat moorings for sale and the right vessel to journey to any place they desire.
Change Of Scenery
A boating holiday also affords the traveller to the chance to journey to wherever they desire. On a boating holiday, you are not consigned to just travelling in one area. Boaters can map out a journey lasting weeks taking them to different areas up the east coast areas. On a typical holiday, boaters will never have to worry about boredom setting in. Instead, whenever you decide that you have had enough of a place, you can just pick up and go, which makes for a great holiday for impulsive travellers.
Avoid Interruptions In Travel Time
The best part of a boating holiday is that you completely eliminate the hassles associated with travelling which can interrupt your vacation. Problems that arise from being bumped from a flight, layovers, and worse yet, inclement weather can keep you on the ground for hours, if not days. A boating holiday gives the traveller a little more leeway in all aspects of travel. You are the pilot so ultimately you decide when you leave and where your destination will be. As opposed to spending vacation time in route to your holiday and dealing with the stress that goes with travel, your whole holiday can be devoted to fun and relaxation.
Sporting Opportunities
If sailing is your hobby, this is a great way to be on holiday while also enjoying your passion navigating the waters. If not en route to a port or another destination, you might find yourself nestled in one of Australia’s beautiful coastal towns enjoying a little fishing over the open sea. What a relaxing way to spend time enjoying your hobbies on holiday.
Modern Conveniences
Today’s boats come with all the modern conveniences. Some come with kitchenettes and others come with bathrooms and sleeping quarters. Sometimes, you might find boats with all three, but those wishing to holiday without spending a lot on food and accommodation can do so by choosing a boating holiday.
Relax And Unwind Over The Water
Spending time at sea is one way to de-stress. The cool winds and calm waters give you the chance to reconnect with nature doing something that can often be cheaper than your typical holiday getaway. While on the sea, you might see a few other sailors scattered about, but a boating holiday offers travellers respite that is priceless, without the crowds, without the delays, and with more freedom.
