Where are good places for boating abroad? I was brought up in Norfolk, and was aware when living there that the Solent was basically the home of boating in the UK, hence I chose to come to uni here and then set up my RIB charter business. I have travelled across most of Europe on holidays but never really got a sense of where the equivalent of "the Solent" was elsewhere. Can anyone advise? Basically places in Europe/Australia (not America) where there is a lot of boating; what I would call the equivalent of the Solent abroad.

Tim,
Why would you want the equivalent of the Solent anywhere? Seriously the Solent might be great for critical mass of boats and back up facilities and interesting (?) sailing waters but there are loads more places around which will feel less like the M25... ...if you are looking to set up a business then unless you are servicing the existing community you are going to be in the middle of stiff competition; if you are talking of going on holiday then busy may not be ideal?
