Less distraction and more focus – You won’t be in a busy office or stuck in traffic, so you can work quietly and concentrate behind your laptop.

Enjoy peace and nature – Anchor in a beautiful bay and combine work with outdoor activities like stand-up paddleboarding, running, cycling, or swimming. The new experiences and impressions will stimulate creativity and ideas.
