Florette sails with purpose. Through the EcoShip initiative, she operates as a working sailing vessel and a platform for low-impact travel, environmental education, and research. By relying primarily on wind power and planning routes around seasonal weather, voyages reduce fuel use and emissions compared to conventional motor-driven travel.
EcoShip is a practical initiative founded by the Haynes family, based on decades of operating Florette as a working tall ship. It supports sustainable tourism, traditional sail-based trade routes, and expeditions focused on marine conservation and climate awareness.
