Flotilla Holidays
Discussion
Hi all,
Just hoping for a few reccomendations if poss. I'm looking to take a flotilla holiday with the rents and the other half in summer. Preferably the Ionian islands,but I'm open to suggestions. I have done this about ten yrs ago, with Sunsail, but I hear that since this time, the quality of their holidays has diminished considerably, and IMO they were always a bit too stiffly priced for what they actually were.
Had a look on google, and one company, imaginatively titled sailing holidays Ltd, looks reasonably priced. Has anyone on here used them?
I dont really want to go down the route of Mark Warner, as again I feel they are a bit excessively priced, having said that, I want the gear we use to be of a good standard, and not a tired boat with iffy safety equipment etc.
Ideally I'm looking for a 32-35 footer, both my father and I are proficient sailors, however he is starting to knock on a bit, and isn't as quick on his feet as he used to be....
If anyone has any ideas or positive/negative feedback, could they please let me know. I will also post this on the boats section, as a private charter wouldn't be ruled out either....
Thanks all,
Jono

Have you tried looking on here http://www.latesail.com/FullSearch.asp?Search=1 ?
As you said SS do have a variable reputation! Have you looked in the back of Yachting World or Monthly there are usually plenty of smaller outfits advertising there.
Have you though about a Cat?
This lot look ok.
