What is a holiday without the sea?

According to recent studies, living on the seaside is a great cure-all for your health.
The water has the power to release chemical substances directly connected to your wellness:

1. Happiness: the sea has a relaxing power because it is able to activate the parts of our brain which are associated with the positive attitude, the emotional stability and the ability to recover positive memories.

2. Relax: living on the seaside can relax a tired mind. Being near the sea can really have a strong painkilling and relaxing effect; the sound of the water is a wonderful background to rest. We also relax our sight because the view is composed by tenuous colours and a flat horizon.

3. Health: Sea air is healthy. The experts recommend to breathe deeply when near the sea because the air over there is full of sodium chloride, magnesium, iodine and potassium.

The only choice you have to make is the view you want to enjoy every day of your holiday on a sailing boat; Italy offers the most incredible views…Think about white and golden sand, crystalline waters…an holiday with Sagaponack is exactly this.
