Wellness Retreats

Experience the power, strength and rejuvenation the ocean gives us!

Through the exposure to clear blue ocean waters, breathtaking coral reefs and other marine life, tropical beaches and the steady sea breezes; you’ll feel better emotionally and physically.

There is an intricate connection between our mental and physical well-being. Extensive research demonstrates that when we achieve harmony between our mind and body, we experience numerous benefits. For instance, being on the ocean slows heart rate, lowers blood pressure, reduces stress hormones like cortisol, improves immune function, and enhances overall cardiovascular health.

Mind-body balance also positively impacts our emotional well-being, fosters greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and an improved sense of overall happiness and contentment.

As we head out to one of Key West’s unbelievable and amazing coral reefs, keep your eyes peeled as it is not uncommon to see sea turtles, large and majestic eagle rays, flying fish and dolphins.

Our retreats, whether half day or overnight, are a catalyst for real breakthroughs, designed to help you unplug, reset, get inspired, and shift your mindset. These adventures pair traditional chartering with personal development and coaching, and can be revolutionary and life-changing.

Capturing the healing benefits from nature and the ocean is the reason we created Kaleidoscope Wellness. Kaleidoscope Wellness, aka Scorpion Charters, focuses on “personal wellness,” through the exposure to beautiful islands, tropical beaches, clear blue waters, and the steady ocean breeze – making you feel better emotionally and physically. Being in nature increases dopamine and serotonin in our brains – chemicals that are associated with an improved sense of satisfaction and motivation. Nature reduces anger, stress, and aggression. It promotes a sense of community, and it promotes healthy babies. Nature is a powerful antidepressant.

The average American spends 5 hours and 24 minutes on their mobile device each day. Stepping away from screens and devices allows us to rediscover the beauty of the world and reawaken our senses. It restores our ability to focus, think creatively, and find inspiration from within. Putting the phone down creates an opportunity to engage in deeper human connections, to be fully present in conversations, and to appreciate the natural wonders around us.

Technology has its time, place, and benefits, but when we let it rule us, humanity suffers. Get outside. Ride the ocean waves. Throw a fishing line in the water. Snorkel with colorful marine life, rub your feet in the white sand while waist deep on a sandbar or just sit on the yacht soaking in the sun, instead of scrolling on your phone.

The healing power of the sea

Being on our 46-foot Sailing Yacht is an amazing adventure, and adventure has a profound impact on strengthening the brain. Neurologically, adventure stimulates the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and endorphins, which are associated with pleasure, motivation, and resilience. This surge of chemicals heightens our senses, amplifies our focus, and enhances our cognitive abilities.

Adventure challenges our brains to adapt to new and unfamiliar environments, promoting neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to reorganize and form new neural connections. This process improves our problem-solving skills, decision-making abilities, and creative thinking.
