Sailing is undoubtedly one of the most environmentally friendly ways to get around and travel. All you need to do is hoist the sails, have the wind in your favor and set sail! In fact, on a boat, fuel consumption is kept to an absolute minimum. During your vacation you will get to realize the importance of the resources you will have at your disposal. You will have to pay attention to water and electricity consumption and adopt a more essential lifestyle. You will learn to eliminate the superfluous, appreciate simplicity and small things, and enjoy every moment of the day. Experiencing close contact with nature can help you appreciate and respect it more and more, bringing you closer to the issues of environmental sustainability.

Forget about the crowded beaches typical of August, where you can't even hang out your towel, and the long car lines to reach some locations. Aboard a sailboat the view will be far better and you can dive where the water is clear. Sailing on a boat you can find plenty of moorings and secluded bays perfect for relaxing in privacy. 

What's more, there are beautiful places that cannot be reached by land, and the only solution remains to rent a boat. In this article you can read a short list of unique places to add to your itinerary.

Sailing allows for sports: hoisting sails, pulling anchor, capping the mainsail, and many other activities. All while breathing clean air, like a real open-air gym. Practicing physical activity on a boat stimulates the production of dopamine and serotonin, the so-called happiness hormones. Sailing undoubtedly helps to get away from the stresses of everyday life and at the same time to keep the mind trained: on a boat you should never let your guard down because the sea is unpredictable. No business meetings, no deadlines, no computers or phones, just diving, swimming, cocktails in the cockpit, starry nights and lots of fun with your fellow passengers. 

Not to mention the feeling of freedom you get when you sail with your bow towards the horizon, in the middle of the sea surrounded by nothing but deep blue water and pure nature.

It is scientifically proven that the sea is a panacea for our health. Starting with the air we breathe, which, thanks to its many properties, is able to heal the body as well as the mind. It also helps to improve the symptoms of respiratory diseases in adults and children. In addition to the sea, the sun is also good for humans. Just exposure to the sun's rays (without overdoing it) allows our bodies to stock up on vitamin D, which is essential for an efficient immune system. 

If you want a good reason to book a sailing vacation, taking care of your health is definitely at the top of the list.

Boating vacations are suitable for travelers of all ages. Certainly there are types of vacations or destinations that are more suitable for children and others less so, some more suitable for young people looking for fun and others still suitable for couples. Senior travelers will be able to find solutions in catamarans or aboard boats from 15 meters and up, where they will have larger spaces and more comfort. All it takes is to choose the most suitable experience, enjoy good health and bring along a spirit of adaptation and a lot of fun.
