The most popular tourist countries, hoteliers, tourist workers… are taking various prevention and protection measures with uncertain success. In essence, there is no ideal protection, but there are more or less safe ways to organize a summer vacation.
For those who planned to spend their vacation on a sailboat, it could be said that in these circumstances they chose the safest way to spend their summer vacation. The only problem may be the organization of travel to the departure base due to the passability of borders. But when they get to the sailboat, then the possibility of contact with the virus is reduced to a minimum.

Most sailors go to the departure base in their vehicle, so the trip itself is completely safe. For those who want to avoid purchasing groceries at the place of embarkation, they can take all the necessary necessities from home for several days, so that they can tranship groceries directly from the car to the ship.
The handover procedure is limited to one person, most often the skipper, who takes over the paperwork and the boat. This is usually done with only one person (ship owner or base manager), one on one, and in the conditions of the crown, it is obligatory to wear a mask and gloves.
When the crew boardes the ship and sails, theoretically and practically, it does not have to be in contact with anyone until the end of the sailing. On board they have all the comfort as in any better apartment. Fully equipped kitchen with appliances and utensils, large tanks with water and fuel, so they do not depend on the outside world.

In addition, what attracts all sailing lovers the most is swimming on beaches that are inaccessible to classic tourists, spending the night in hidden coves – in a word, the possibility of enjoying the sea and nature without crowds, noise, isolated from the manifestations of mass tourism.
The usual routes of most sailors bypass places where a large number of tourists gather, which excludes the possibility of contact with the virus, and occasional docks in places for procurement can be easily organized with the use of protective equipment.
Therefore, if you are planning a vacation at sea, and you are worried about the crowds on the beaches, promenades, shops, sailing is definitely the safest way to stay at sea and in the sun this summer.
