Travel & Sailing Resources

This page is on sailing resources and links for all travellers. For many on this site our preferred way of transport is by yacht … to amazing destinations whether in our own land or across oceans to exotic ports. And its at these fantastic destinations we want to explore inland.

There are places which aren’t surrounded by water that appeal to our wanderlust mind set, and sense of adventure..... For these we may have to jump aboard a plane or car or train, maybe charter a yacht and these destinations are well worth it.

I have listed some websites here so you can continue on a journey of discovery and whet your appetite for places you may not have thought of, research them and may be even visit them!
