Did you know that whales up to 22 meter live in the Mediterranean?

Why Corporate Responsibility

As a young sailor, I enjoyed the sea, the fresh air, the infinity of the ocean, and the beauty of the sea life below me. Over the years I sighted less mammals, fish, and turtles and found more plastic. Therefore I decided to create a sail tour company with values that reflect those of the sailors and surfers who realize that the sea is our source of life and needs to be treated carefully.

For us at BarcelonaSail, a love for the sea demands participation in the fight to save it, and to help reverse the steep decline in the overall environmental health of our planet. We donate our time organizing “plastic fishing” events to create awareness, and in 2018 we plan to do away with all plastic on board, to reverse the tide.

We know that our business activity – from lighting the office to cleaning the boats – creates pollution as a by-product. So, we work steadily to reduce those harms. We use electric motors in our sail boats, interview our suppliers on the environmental footprint of their products, our food is locally grown and packaged in recyclable carton and delivered by bike.

Staying true to our core values helps and inspires us to run and work for BarcelonaSail. Our focus on delivering the best service possible has brought us great success. Our 2018 barcelonasails promises reflect this drive and we strive to be the worlds first zero impact company by 2022.
