A TRUE ECO-FRIENDLY COMMITMENT

Elements of a REAL Eco-Friendly Commitment

1.  Green Fleet Technologies
Use of solar panels, wind generators, electric outboards, and lithium-ion batteries to reduce diesel use.
Preference for sailing under wind power instead of motoring whenever conditions allow.
Use of eco-friendly antifouling paints and biodegradable cleaning products.

2.  Water & Waste Management
Water makers to reduce plastic bottle use.
Waste separation and recycling on board.
Grey and black water tank treatment systems—no dumping into the sea.

3.  Carbon Offsetting & Emissions Reduction
Carbon footprint monitoring and offsetting through verified programs (e.g., tree planting, renewable energy projects).
Incentivizing slow travel: promoting longer, more immersive trips with less engine use.

4.  Collaboration with Conservation Groups
Partnerships with marine NGOs (like Archelon, Medasset, or WWF) to protect sea turtles, monk seals, or Posidonia seagrass.
Support or participation in scientific research or clean-up events.

5.  Crew Training & Guest Education
Crews trained in sustainable sailing and marine wildlife protocols.
Guest orientation on eco-friendly behavior (no single-use plastics, reef-safe sunscreens, no anchoring on Posidonia beds).

6.  Support for Local Communities
Provisioning from local farmers, fishermen, and artisans.
Avoiding overcrowded destinations; suggesting alternative, less-touristy islands to reduce pressure on local ecosystems.

7.  Transparency & Accountability

 paperless check-ins, eco-cleaning products, and beach cleanups.
