Entirely CO₂-free, the travel is powered solely by wind and solar energy. With routes adapting daily to wind and weather conditions, each day promises unique discoveries. Highlights include a visit to traditional boatyards on Brač where you can witness the boatmaking tradition,  practice hands-on fishing techniques, and prepare fresh meals directly from the sea. If the weather conditions allow, participants can also join a permaculture workshop on Brač island, immersing themselves in the sustainable lifestyle of an eco-community.
