We've been working with Charter Companies for many years now, and are proud of the grassroots projects, policies and systems we have put into place with our network of Charter Partners.
We offer Charter Companies the option to become a Partner, or Verified Partner. Both options are designed to support Charter Companies in their prevention of sea and coastal pollution, improve education and develop environmentally friendly practices both internally and externally to clients.
Most yacht charter customers want to sail sustainably - they just don’t know how to! Our aim was to change this narrative by providing Green Sail flags to our Charter partners, which are now flying on almost 2,000 yachts!
These simple green flags indicate that the Charter Company, and its guests, are committed to environmental sustainability. Yachts flying the Green flag will also have educational materials and recycling stickers onboard, which we provide to partners free of charge. We've noticed that these small but mighty flags also start up a conversation between sailors around this important topic!

Three simple steps:
We will be in contact to help implement (or review existing) environmental policies in your organisation that promote sustainable tourism.
On check-in ask customers if they agree to protecting our environment. If yes give them a flag to attach to the yacht.
It has always been important for Sail Croatia to work with local suppliers that share similar values, and in particular those companies that create long term partnerships and opportunities to support local jobs. The creation of sound environmental policies has also meant partners have had to adjust to ensure business practices meet certain sustainability criteria. A great example of this is the reduction in plastic waste onboard ships, improving recycling onboard and increasing waste reduction, to name a few initiatives run by the company. Today Sail Croatia run many different types of cruises including eco friendly cruises, hiking cruises and cycle cruises. All Sail Croatia products are designed to support local businesses such as restaurants, cafes and excursion providers in small communities along the coastline.
