Our vision

Why should traveling by sail using the natural forces of wind and tide be seen as unusual? We believe it should be the norm. What was once the backbone of maritime transport has been overshadowed by fossil fuels, bringing both progress and environmental challenges. Today, we have the opportunity to merge the best of modern technology, advanced navigation, safety systems, and vessel design with the timeless simplicity of sailing. By doing so, SailLink offers a reliable, low-impact travel experience that connects people to the natural world while helping redefine sustainable transport for the future.

At SailLink, we aim to make natural solutions the standard, not the exception. With every journey, we demonstrate what society can become responsible, innovative, and deeply connected to the planet. Beyond passenger crossings, our operations support biodiversity by partnering with researchers to collect vital ocean data, involving passengers in meaningful contributions to our environment. Together, we can reshape travel into an act of regeneration, setting a course toward a better future for generations to come.
