This special initiative, held in May 2025, provided participants the opportunity to experience the healing, empowering nature of sailing aboard a fully equipped catamaran.
Surrounded by compassionate professionals and volunteers, guests enjoyed a day filled with sun, sea, and connection, proving that the joys of yachting can, and should, be accessible to all.
