We are Greta and Michael and have been living on our sailboat ForTuna since April 2019. We travel the Mediterranean Sea and soon the Caribbean to raise awareness about ocean pollution. We share our travel and sailing adventures with our community of sustainable travellers. We would love to collaborate with Brands or Influencers who share our believes in sustainability and eco-friendly travels. So far we have worked with NorthSails, Beneteau, Albfilters.

🇬🇧- 🇮🇹 What a start to the Med season ⛵️ A slightly bigger boat 😋 a super fun crew 🤩 in one of the most renowned sailing destinations of the world 🗺️ Croatia it has been a pleasure 😍 🇮🇹 Che inizio di stagione nel Mediterraneo ⛵️ Una barca un po’ più grande 😋 un equipaggio super divertente 🤩 in una delle più rinomate destinazioni veliche del mondo 🗺️ Croazia è stato un piacere 😍 #sailing #sailboat #sailinglife #sailboatlife #charterboat #sailingcharter #charterholiday #sailingholiday #sailingday #sailingtrip
After spending 3 hurricanes season on the boat we decided this year to take a different approach and fly back to Italy ✈️ might be because we are getting married this year 😋💒 Here is how we prepared the boat to keep mold away and the boat in best conditions ⛵️ - took down the sails and stored them - vacuum sealed our clothing - ate all the food on board (or stored it vacuum sealed) - cleaned the whole boat with soap and vinegar - hauled out ForTuna - used hot days to dry everything as good as possible (especially if stored below deck) - installed a cover to keep sun and rain at bay - flipped cushions to allow air flow - installed a dehumidifier - cleaned the fridge What do you think did we forger anything?
Last preparation 🛠️ before we store our sailboat ForTuna for hurricane season ⛵️ the changing weather made everything a bit more tricky but we are almost done 💪 #sailboat #sailing #sailboatlife #sailinglife #boatlife⚓️ #sailboats #boatwork #boatstorage

4 days until haul out 🫣 and we still have some open questions about how to best prepare ForTuna for 6 months on the dry dock in Panama 🇵🇦 ☀️ do we let sun in or do we close all courtains? 🌬️ better close the boat air-tight or leave some air flow through? 👕what about all the cloths / pillows / sails / lines ect. 🌫️ at which humidity % should we program the dehumidifier? 🧽 how to best prepare all the surfaces? 🤔 what are we forgetting? please share your tips in the comments 🙏 #boatstorage #boatstuff #boatlife⚓️ #sailinglife #sailing #sailboat #sailboatlife #sailboats #sailboatlove

Getting the cables through the mast is quite a tricky thing but we found a way at the end to pull trough three new cables For now we decided to use our Radar only via WiFi and not install the data cable. Also we go on our second freediving session and explore the crystal clear waters of Cyprus. Why not subscribe to our channel so you wont miss the next episodes released twice a week?
