The Impact of Yachtsmen on Nature

Yachting is not only an exciting sport and recreation, but also an activity that can harm the natural environment through emissions, water pollution, and the use of non-recyclable materials. ISSA is on a mission to reduce this impact by creating innovative, completely eco-friendly products for yachtsmen - ISSA ECO Body Gel and ISSA ECO Dish Soap.

I was vacationing with my parents in Greece, a very beautiful country. The first time was abroad, and the first time was on a yacht. Every day we were on a new island. The first was the island of Kythnos, it was a small island, but there are hot springs, Katafiki cave, ruins of temples and walls of the ancient city, beaches. Next was the island of Serifos. An old castle is partially preserved here, which is located on a high hill and is surrounded by many different houses. Serifosa is located in a picturesque mountainous area, so while exploring the historical sites, we had the opportunity to admire the surrounding landscapes. Well, and many other small islands, with a variety of gorges, caves, fortresses, monasteries. I liked everything, took a lot of photos, videos, got a lot of fun. Thank you BBYahting for a great opportunity to get all these sensations.

Skipper training at BBYachting was given to me as a birthday present and since then I can’t imagine life without the sea. First, a training tour in Croatia in 2015, during which we not only learned how to sail a yacht, but also fell in love with the sea (the guys who were passengers with us on that trip, by the way, later also studied and received a license from BBYachting). Then, in the spring of 2016, some extreme sports and real marine life with Bogdan on the North Sea (at the same time we visited England without a visa: maritime law, everything;) ), and a little later in the same year they themselves took a yacht charter in Croatia. Also with the full assistance of BBYachting, who not only helped us find the cabin layout that we were looking for, but also got a discount on it from the charter company, and Bogdan was always in touch if we suddenly had questions. Although they were more purely organizational - after the training, there were no questions about the actual management of the yacht and we had a great time coping with everything ourselves. Thanks a lot!P.S. All photos from real travels in the North Sea and Croatia ;)
