🌊 At Sail la Vie the sea has always been our compass — not just guiding us from place to place, but shaping the way we think, connect, and grow.
That’s why we’re proud to be part of the I-STARS Program, a collaborative journey across the Mediterranean that’s all about making tourism smarter, more sustainable, and more meaningful. As part of this journey, we’re excited to share some of our key achievements so far:
▸ We completed sustainability training through I-STARS, Travelife, and Green Sail.
▸ We became a Travelife Partner and an officially verified tour operator with Green Sail
▸ We measured the carbon footprint of selected vessels in our fleet.
▸ We developed SailWatch, a collaborative web app that empowers sailors and coastal visitors to report marine litter and wildlife sightings.
▸ We created a solid action plan to guide our future steps in sustainable tourism.
Every step forward is part of a bigger journey — and we’re just getting started. 🌍⛵
“I-STARS helped us turn values into action. We’re proud to be shaping a more sustainable and collaborative future for Mediterranean sea tourism.”
