With the recent abundance of nautical movies including Pirates of the Caribbean, Master and Commander and Blackbeard it is no wonder that an interest of previously niche audiences has now become popular with the masses. Something that amateurs and experienced sailors can sink their teeth into, are the ship and crew working holidays available worldwide. If you always fancied yourself as the next Captain Jack Sparrow this could be the perfect opportunity to try your hand at sailing some of the most beautiful ships around. From tall ships to “super yachts” you can get aboard and learn the ropes (no pun intended) under supervision while at the same time doing your work load under the sun while passing through aquamarine seas. It is certainly a great way to an even tan! These types of holidays are available to couples wishing for a working holiday, gap year students, semi trained sailors who wish to up their sea miles and get some invaluable experience. The prices range on what type of ship, how long you’re staying on board and your experience, but are usually extremely cheap due to you pulling your weight, literally. All you will be paying for on average is food and drink to set you up for all of the hard work you will be doing. These organisations are world wide, and have a large amount of choice of ships, departure docks and destinations. So you it is highly likely you can find something that is suitable for what you want to do. For those who want to try this for their first sailing experience, some companies are starting to create packages where you fly out to the ship, sail for a week or two only, and then fly back to your home country afterwards. This stops people who are not used to the sea being stuck on the ship for longer than they are comfortable and having to pay extra to go home. So with all of these options and opportunities popping up all over the Mediterranean and Caribbean, and if you fancy something rewarding and a bit different, you could enjoy a very memorable and very cheap holiday with friends and family.
