Sailing Trip Planner

Planning a trip or sailing vacation? You need a sailing trip planner!

Carefully planning a sailing trip can be a great deal of work. Once all the plans are completed, and because you put so much work into the planning - you'll need a vacation just to relax after all the work - lol!

To get you started with your sailing trip travel plans, my hope is that this resource will be a time-saver for you. Once you complete a sailing vacation trip planner, you can simply duplicate the procedures and planning each sailing trip thereafter.

Create a Sailing Trip Planner
Some ideas for things you can accomplish by using the trip planner:

  • Build your itinerary.
  • Save your travel research.
  • Access it easily in the future.
  • Share your plans with friends!

It's a great money saving and organized approach to planning a trip! No need to hire a travel agent or traveling guru. Take control and create your personalized checklists.

Some sites to help you can put together a trip planner, and trip checklists:

Sailing Schools
Be prepared with a proper sailing education for yourself. Keep in mind if you were to become injured or ill you may need another person to operate your sailboat.

You may want to be sure that at least one of your other passengers knows how to operate your sailboat, so sail on over to a sailing school to get that person educated before you go.

Marinas Directory and Checklist
The site with the directory and checklist I originally provided is no longer available. You could use your preferred internet map search for the marinas in the area you wish to locate.

Tropical Sailing Vacation List
If you're ready to get drenched by the sun, plan a sailing trip in the tropics!

Safe Sailing for Dummies
Provides a great checklist for the newbie sailor, and also good for the experienced sailor that may need some reminders before they set sail.

Sailing Checklist
Basic, yet also a thorough list for your sailing plans. Their list is divided into three groups: Equipment checklist, departure checklist and an arrival checklist.

Ideas for the Kids:

While making your sailing trip plans, if children will be traveling with you don't forget to pack appropriate gear and items to keep them entertained.

You might want to pack sailing or pirate board games to keep them out of trouble. Another fun idea to keep them entertained is to supply them with pirate attire and pirate costumes! Arrr!
