About Us

Sustainable Sailing Greece is a Greek not-for-profit organisation, dedicated to transforming nautical tourism in Greece into a force for environmental protection, local empowerment, and long-term sustainability. We are sailors, environmentalists, educators, and advocates working together to ensure that every sailing journey in Greece not only leaves no trace—but gives back.

Our Mission:
‍
We aim to create a sustainable future for sailing in Greece by:
- Promoting responsible sailing practices that protect delicate habitats like Posidonia meadows.
- Providing accessible, practical tools—such as guidebooks, videos, and our signature Sailing Sustainably in Greece Guide—to help sailors, skippers, crew and charter companies reduce their environmental footprint.
- Raising awareness of the environmental and social impacts of nautical tourism through education and advocacy.
- Supporting local communities and preserving the natural and cultural heritage of the Greek coastline.
- Strengthening cooperation among individuals, charterers, organizations, and authorities to address shared environmental challenges in the sailing sector.

Our Values:
