When sailing in Europe, you have to slap yourself every once in a while to make sure you haven\u2019t stumbled into a clich\u00e9. Lying on a warm deck, with the waves of the Mediterranean lapping against the hull and the cliff-top villages of Amalfi drifting past the starboard bow, it can all get a little surreal.<\/p>\n
Maybe it\u2019s because yachting on the French Riviera or island hopping around Santorini sounds like something reserved for the glitterati, the sun-kissed celebs and A-Listers who \u2018summer in Cannes\u2019 and \u2018winter in Aspen\u2019. But that\u2019s not the case. A European sailing voyage<\/a> is easier (and cheaper) than you think. And you don\u2019t need to know your spinnakers from your boom vangs (yep, those are real things) to enjoy it.<\/p>\n
