The sun is scientifically proven to be good for bones and skin. It stimulates the production of vitamin D, which is essential for proper bone development, especially in children, and is very important in preventing some serious diseases. The benefits of the sun also extend to the skin, helping greatly in cases of atopic dermatitis, which particularly affects children, and eczema as long as it is properly protected with the proper sunscreens. Of course, it is always important not to expose children to the sun during the middle hours of the day, during which they can shelter in the cockpit under the awning.

The second natural element found in marine places (and also in abundance) is definitely salt water. Children suffering from psoriasis and eczema will find benefits from salt water, which also contains very important minerals such as sodium chloride, magnesium and iodine salts.

Sea air is good for everyone, but even better for children! It is rich in iodine, magnesium, potassium and other minerals. Breathing it cleanses the respiratory tract, acting preventively against typical winter ailments. In fact, sea air stimulates the immune system, which will cope better with attacking bacteria. In addition, the greater heaviness of sea air promotes breathing, ensuring better oxygenation of the blood.

For all those parents who would like their children to sleep better, it is very likely that thanks to the time spent outdoors in the sunshine, the production of melatonin (a hormone that induces nighttime rest) is increased, and then, the sound of the sea conciliates bedtime: the sound of crashing waves creates a familiar memory for children, which makes them remember their mother's womb!

Numerous studies have shown that the sea increases the production of endorphins and serotonin-the hormones of euphoria and good mood. The climate, the sea with its blue color and waves, and the beautiful landscape create a mix of elements that will improve mood and give serenity making your children definitely happier!

Children by being in contact with crabs, small fish, snails and hermit crabs will fall in love with nature. All these creatures can be learned more about on the beach and in the sea by snorkeling! Being in contact with nature from an early age helps children stimulate their imagination and sensitivity. 

To bring children closer to nature and sustainability issues, don't miss the Whale Watching Cruises in collaboration with WWF Travel, during which, thanks to the biologist on board, they can learn a lot about marine species, how to spot them and respect them and their environment.

At sea, especially on a boat, children will find endless ways to experience fun. From morning to night, the things to do on the boat multiply, and each child will be delighted to bring his or her own contribution to the activities on board, according to his or her abilities and age. Younger children can set out on the bow to spot dolphins, or help the skipper and adults with less strenuous activities, such as learning to tie knots and trying their hand at studying the route to the next swim. Older ones, will be happy to be assigned "big" responsibilities: helping steer the boat, lowering sails, dropping anchor, or supporting in maneuvers. Then if there are other children on board with you or the skipper's children, the group's strength and desire to discover will be even greater! The sailboat, functions as a great floating toy for all ages, and will only challenge the imagination of young and old alike.
