Introduction to travelling by sailboat
Traveling by sailboat represents a unique blend of adventure, freedom, and a pure, natural way of travel. It’s not just about booking a sailing course or a holiday, or get a certification; it’s about experiencing life on the open seas, and embracing a different perspective on travel, the world, nature and life.
Different forms of Sailboat Travel
Sailboat travel can take many forms: it could be a day trip, a multi-day adventure, coastal voyages, or even crossing oceans. It’s as diverse as the sea itself. The idea is to immerse yourself in the sailing life, whether for a short duration or for months, even years.
Travel the seas as crew
Captains often seek crew to make trips more relaxed, fun, and safe. This opens up opportunities for aspiring sailboat travellers like you, who are keen to get a taste of the sailing life, or are looking for an environmentally friendly way of travelling. It’s a unique opportunity community where sharing and collaboration are at the heart.
Environmental Consciousness in Sailing
With increasing awareness about our environmental impact, sailboat travel is becoming an increasingly popular greener alternative. A sailboat, powered by the wind, symbolizes a natural way of moving forward, potentially evolving into a self-sufficient lifestyle. That said, sailboat travel has it’s impact. And with the Ocean Nomads community we’re driven to maximise the positive and minimize the negative impact.
Accessibility of Sailing
Contrary to popular belief, sailing is not reserved only for the rich or those who grew up sailing. It’s accessible even on a budget, without owning a boat. There’s a world of sailing boats and captains who welcome strangers aboard to share in the joy and responsibilities.
Preparing for the Sailboat Adventure
Traveling by sailboat is an adventure that requires preparation and awareness. For a happy and safe experience, it’s crucial to understand what you’re getting into, who you’re joining, and what to look out for. Safety and compatibility are key since your life does depend on these factors.
Finding the Right Boat
Finding a boat is one thing, but finding the right boat, one that resonates with you and your values, is what truly makes the difference. It’s about feeling good and safe with the boat and its crew, and creating happy positive moments.
