Arrr. Erm, we meant ahhh. “Sailing takes me away takes me away to where I’ve always heard it could be” Many thanks to that smooth crooner, Christopher Cross for his eternally optimistic chanson, Sailing. He smoothly guides you to where you know that you have no choice. And that’s a good thing.
Sailing is often considered the ultimate path to relaxation because it forces a physiological and psychological “reset” that is hard to achieve on land. Unlike a standard holiday where you might still be tethered to a schedule or a screen, sailing places you in an environment where the rhythm of the natural world takes over.
Coined by marine biologist Dr. Wallace J. Nichols, “Blue Mind” refers to the mildly meditative state we enter when near, in, or on water. Neurological Shift: Science shows that the mere sight and sound of water triggers the release of “happy” neurochemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin, while simultaneously lowering cortisol (the stress hormone.) Well, let’s thank the science boffins and just collapse on the top of a deluxe vessel and head off to waters near and far. Click here
Our affiliate partners, G Adventures are waiting on the dock for you. Some of the world’s most extraordinary places aren’t on any road. They’re only reachable by water — hidden coves, secret lagoons, and coastal towns the tour buses will never find. Never sailed before? Perfect. Most of our travellers haven’t either. This isn’t a sailing course — it’s a small-group adventure on the open water, with cliff jumps, dockside seafood, salty hair, and coastlines that earn every nautical mile. Our skippers handle the ropes. You handle the good times.
