There’s something enduringly charming about holidaying on a boat.
In theory, the world is your oyster, with hedonistic agendas shaped by surf, sunshine and lazy waterside lunches – rather than same-old, box-ticking sightseeing. And yet you needn’t have a budget the size of a celebrity superyacht (nor any boating qualifications) to get on board. These shipshape breaks, which range from simple DIY cruisers in the UK to sun-soaked sailings in the Med, all ring in at fair prices.
