About Skiing Holidays

Skiing Holidays Ltd is a specialist online ski agency, offering ski holidays right around Europe. Our focus is on providing expert advice and aim to be your first ‘port of call’ on all things associated with skiing holidays by offering in-depth advice, information, feedback, and client participation.

Skiing Holidays Ltd is the specialist ski business of the largest British-owned sailing holiday company, Sailing Holidays Ltd (www.SailingHolidays.com). We’ve been in operation since 1977 (yes, over 30 years!) and are proud to send thousands of British holidaymakers away on holiday every year.

We're also proud to be British owned and operated (despite a few Kiwi accents here and there..) with our main office and staff located in London.

The History of the Business

Sailing Holidays Ltd began life in 1976 as Flotilla Sailing Club. Barrie Neilson, the current owner, joined the company in 1979 as a flotilla engineer and subsequently worked as flotilla skipper for six years from 1980 to 1985 in Greece, Florida and the former Yugoslavia. He went on to buy the company and now runs the business with his wife Heidi to this day.

Sailing Holidays is now the only non-corporate flotilla specialist in the United Kingdom and our clientele remain 95% British (the other 5% are typically colonials!). Our niche is operating the best maintained boats in the industry on two week flotillas around some of the most beautiful islands in the world. They are also within only 2-3 hours of flying time from the UK.

Our holidays are highly addictive and our average customer has enjoyed between four and five holidays with us in the different areas. Our longest standing client has been on more than 50 of our holidays (two a year!) and our next longest twenty-nine holidays!

This is a pattern that we look forward to continuing with Skiing Holidays.
