If you are considering a sailing holiday and you’re wondering how it could be, this interview can be very useful to you. We are going to meet Kate, who recently got in contact with sailing and can’t help herself anymore. After a journey along the Tuscan coast, she fell in love with sailing. Let’s meet her to understand how she started and what led her to the sailing world.

“My name is Kate Zubovich. I was born in Minsk, Belarus. I started working in the boat sector during my Master’s Degree in International Tourism in Lugano, Switzerland. At that moment, I honestly had no idea about boats, their models, or the equipment they could possibly need. I started learning the basics, appreciating the diversity of boat models, and I always wanted to know more about it.

What made the difference was my first boat trip, along the coasts of Tuscany, from San Vincenzo to Capraia. From that moment I told myself: “I don’t want to book my holidays in a hotel anymore, I want to spend my summers sailing!” And here I am, my work and my passion didn’t change :) I’ve traveled all over Europe, I’ve also been to Africa and New Zealand. I think traveling is my biggest passion, so if I manage to combine it with sailing, well… you win! :)

Being on a boat means relaxation relaxation relaxation

“The way you can feel the wind on your skin, the cold and salted water on your face. It’s the most relaxing holiday you can think of… You decide when and where to stop, and above all, when you discover new places that are not accessible by land, you feel like an explorer with your friends.

To those considering a boat holiday I say…

Don’t be scared. This new experience will change your mind about how you want to spend your next holiday. Just imagine: you don’t have to worry about the things to bring with you, or leaving them on the beach while you’re bathing in the sea. On a boat, you don’t have to worry about anything: you wake up, you have breakfast, you dip in the water and you spend the whole day with your family/friends. It will be so relaxing, as you will cook all together, you will have an aperitivo on board and you will explore the surrounding area among nature.

Enjoy your journey on the boat :) Don’t forget to bring the essentials like hand luggage, a windbreaker, sunglasses, a hat, shampoo, and ecologic soap. Onboard, you will get tanned easily because of the reflection on the water, so bring enough sunscreen.”
