Sailing Tour: The Perfect Vacation Idea During COVID

Sailing Tour: The Perfect Vacation Idea During COVID

May 18, 2021

You’ve been cooped up in the house long enough! The past year has been filled with quarantines, isolation, masks, and much more stress than you’d like to remember. You’ve had a lot to be worried about, and this is starting to weigh on your mental health. What you need is a break from it all. You need to book a sailing tour with Esmeralda Sailing and get out on the water!

The world of travel has changed so much for so many and experiencing the world freely is a little more challenging. That doesn’t mean you’re stuck spending another summer watching Netflix and ordering take-out. You simply need to be a bit more careful with your vacation ideas. You may not have thought of it before, but sailing on a catamaran is actually the perfect vacation idea during the Coronavirus Pandemic. Consider just a few of the following reasons why:

#1 When you book a trip with us, you and your party are the only people on the catamaran (other than the crew needed to sail the boat). This means you can go mask free! Finally, you can get out and about and have a good time without a mask covering your face. You can get sun, smell the salty air, drink wine, eat ceviche, go snorkeling, and do many other activities you’ve missed this past year. 

#2 Numerous studies have proven that being around water, also known as “blue space,” is good for your mental health. Being close to water can induce feelings of calm. It can also make you happier, reduce your stress levels, improve your quality of life, and make you more sociable. Researchers also report a direct effect on stress regulation, finding that contact with nature slows down the human stress response and induces calm. A boost in mental health is something we can all appreciate right now!

#3 Whether you’re on the catamaran in the middle of the ocean or enjoying one of the destinations, one thing is for sure: there’s no crowds! You want to keep away from other people right now, which means high-trafficked “tourist spots” are definitely off your list. Social distancing is easy when you can decide where to drop anchor. Your choices in destinations include Isla Anciana, Playa Blanca, Playa Brasilito, and Playa Trébol. You can choose when and where the boat stops. If your original choice looks busy you can sail onto the next part of the beach.

Nicaragua sailing vacations are an ideal option for vacationers during the time of COVID. You are out on the water, surrounded by fresh air, far away from people. On our catamaran, you can avoid the worries that come with having to mingle with strangers who may or maynot be carrying the virus. When you go sailing with Esmeralda Sailing, you and your small group of loved ones are in total control. This makes it a perfect vacation idea for this summer!
