When we think of the summer season, vibrant colors, sweet fruit scents and flavors, the refreshing aromas of plants and trees warmed by the sun, and of course, rejuvenating swimming sessions in the sea, bronzed beach walks kissed by the sun, and sunbathing hours come to mind. Summer almost always means sun, beach, and sea for all of us.
Spending time at the sea actually gives us much more than golden sands and sunny times. It has invaluable benefits for physical, mental, and emotional health. Time spent by the sea provides an opportunity for the mind and body to expand and grow into a wide area. The best way to take advantage of all the benefits of this “vitamin sea” and maximize your beach advantages is through yacht chartering.
Locations: Beaches, Islands, Coves & Open Seas
We can say that those who live near the sea are very lucky people. The positive effects of sea water and sea views on health and well-being are undeniable. You may live inland and long for time spent at the sea. Or, even if you live near the sea, you may not find time to go to the beach in the hustle and bustle of daily life, or you may not find the opportunity to go on a pleasant boat tour. In this case, considering a well-thought-out and organized blue voyage with the motivation to increase the moments that make life worth living can be a good idea. Whether it’s the islands of Greece, the turquoise bays of Turkey, or the tranquil beaches of Croatia, the location you choose will provide you with the wellness experience you need. A summer vacation consisting of 7 or more days creates a unique opportunity to balance your physical, mental, and emotional energy.
Swimming in salty water relaxes the muscles, reduces stress levels, strengthens immunity, and accelerates energy circulation. A holiday on a charter boat also encourages being more physically active. It offers the opportunity to breathe more fresh air, get your daily dose of vitamin D, and even enjoy simple pleasures at a high level. In essence, colors, scents, flavors are more vivid, more intense, in short, life at sea is definitely more beautiful! Spending a few days on the sea on a private charter yacht, purifying with salty water, nourishing the body with the clean sea air brings relaxation and tranquility. We often hear from our guests that they feel much calmer and more balanced long after they return home. We are delighted to be part of these unique experiences of sea lovers in collaboration with Mother Nature.
The Place You Visit Comes with You!
Sometimes a simple vacation can be much more effective than therapy. Human psychology and behavior are closely related to the environment they spend time in. The happiness of eating a meal with a beautiful view, the refreshing feeling stored by looking at the open sea, and the quality social interactions with friends or family members stay with you for the rest of your life. We need to think more often about the value of enjoyable visits to the seaside to improve social health, self-love, and general well-being. When we need to be happy, we often get lost in an uncertain search and mostly indulge in shopping. At the end of the day, we realize that we have spent a lot of money buying things that do not really make us happy and we are left with a feeling of dissatisfaction. In the world of yacht chartering, which opens up the priceless experiences that will stay with you for the rest of your life, happiness is much closer than it seems.
Poetry in Motion
The sea view changes the frequency of our brain waves. And it puts us in a light meditative state. So when we just watch the ebb and flow of the waves, there is an effortless, relaxing effect on our senses. Just as regular meditation significantly changes the brain, when we can take our holidays as much as possible, choosing yachting, we select our memories, and experiences thoughtfully. Spending quiet and peaceful time on the deck of a rented boat activates the parasympathetic nervous system, plunging into the depths of slow and simple living, and listening to the sea waves. Nature slows us down and allows us to feel calmer. In addition to the vastness and freshness of the open sea view, the smell of the sea breeze also contributes to relaxation. This may be related to the negative ions in the air we breathe. These oxygen atoms have an extra electron; they are found in places like waterfalls and the sea. Let’s not forget the shades of blue, which are associated with feelings of peace and tranquility. The shades of blue will cleanse your mind, rejuvenate your body, and even enhance your creativity throughout your blue voyage adventure.
Take Advantage of All the Benefits of Yacht Chartering
Awareness meditation helps us re-center ourselves. Embracing the moment is the most healing way to enjoy the present. Deepening our connection with nature will serve our spirit. And spending time on the beach will activate awareness in the most aesthetic way. There are several ways to practice mindfulness on the beach. You can sit or lie on the sand, accompanied by the sound of the waves lapping against the shore.
You can do this after swimming in the sea, walking, or running on the sand. We can guarantee that after such a cleansing, food will be much tastier and colors will be much brighter. Nature will stimulate all your senses and help you focus better on the present moment. So, what matters is not what you do at the beach, but where you do it. For such an experience, we have listed the most ideal and our favorite beaches for you.

The beach and the boat are wonderful places to slow down and return to the present moment. Watching and hearing the waves, feeling the wind, and smelling the sea spray all help you focus here and now. Our humble opinion would be to take a break from social media while ideally at the beach. Unfortunately, the photos we take often do not fully reflect the splendor of the beauty we see with our eyes. Instead of trying to store memories, it may be a better choice to enjoy the moment by capturing the moment from the eye of your mind. Nevertheless, there is no harm in immortalizing the beauties you see with a few photos and sharing these views with us on social media. Do not deprive your loved ones and us of your experiences. Witnessing your happiness is the sweetest success for us, the Guletbookers team.
