Green Sail is a nonprofit organisation that promotes sustainable tourism practices in the nautical and yacht charter industries. With a mission to preserve marine environments and minimise the ecological footprint of nautical tourism, Green Sail offers resources and support to partners seeking actionable solutions.
Green Sail provides the following to its Partners:
Access to the Green Sail Footprint program This program enables businesses to measure and track the environmental impact of their vessels, providing a clear pathway to reducing their ecological footprint. The verification process assesses a company’s current environmental impact, identifying areas for improvement and suggesting best practices across various operational aspects. Companies that achieve Green Sail Footprint Verification also gain industry recognition for their sustainability efforts and receive promotional support, allowing them to distinguish themselves in a competitive market.
Education Green Sail offers educational outreach programs and online sustainability certifications for companies seeking to educate their staff on industry-specific sustainable practices. One key offering is the new Sustainability for Skippers and Crew Managers online course, a comprehensive program that equips professionals with the tools to drive sustainable operations.
Practical Resources Green Sail provides practical resources and materials to marina and charter partners. These resources include a Professional Sustainability Handbook, Environmental Policy and Operational Plan Templates , and educational materials that partners can use to encourage sustainable behaviours among guests. Green Sail also organizes Eco Walk Talks for their partners’ clients interested in exploring Split, Croatia, with a focus on environmental education.
By actively engaging with local businesses, governmental bodies, and environmental organisations, Green Sail has created a network of partners dedicated to marine conservation. For charter companies and marinas, participating in Green Sail’s initiatives represents a proactive step towards sustainability.
