Vitaminsea.blue - Sail the world, meet people.
<h2>In two words:</h2>
<p>Vitaminsea.blue is a non-profit association created in Geneva. It offers sailing trips in a concept called "collaborative navigation". Vitaminsea.blue advocates the exchange of knowledge and skills in order to offer a life experience to the whole crew mixing relaxation, learning and sharing. In the same way, the association supports training and other projects, especially environmental and social-educational ones.</p>
<p>You want to participate? There is definitely a trip for you!</p>

<h2>The origins of the project:</h2>
<p>The project was born out of a passion for sailing and has gradually grown in importance each year as sailing has been organised. The world of sailing is an excellent catalyst to encourage encounters and raise awareness of the protection of the marine environment. From Greece to Belize to Brittany, the common thread of each sailing trip has always been sharing, collaboration and ecology.</p>

<h2>The project:</h2>
<p>After years of successful and rich sharing trips, it is time for Vitaminssea.blue to take a new momentum and to equip its own sailing boat for the next adventure.</p>
<p>The association will then be able to propose themed trips throughout the year, combining human encounters and discoveries of the elements.</p>
<p>Thanks to funds brought by the numerous members of the association, the boat is entirely financed, it only needs to be prepared.</p>
