Environment & Social
Our seas and coasts are precious habitats that we must protect. At Pitter Yachtcharter, we are passionately committed to environmental protection, marine conservation, and social engagement. On this page, you can learn more about our initiatives and how you can help preserve these valuable ecosystems.
Environmental Initiatives for Marine Protection
When cleaning our yachts, we use environmentally friendly products and strive to avoid waste and properly dispose of hazardous waste such as oil and lubricants. With our Beach-Cleaning Action "O More Mati" and other projects, we actively contribute to marine protection. Our environmental initiatives help reduce marine pollution and preserve the natural beauty of our coasts.

Saving the Adriatic Dolphins – Together for Marine Protection
The Adriatic dolphins, especially the bottlenose dolphin, are a unique natural treasure of Croatia. Unfortunately, they are highly endangered. By supporting the Society for the Rescue of Dolphins e.V. and your active participation during your sailing holiday, we can protect these majestic animals. The project to Save the Adriatic Dolphins is an important part of our marine protection initiatives.
Beach-Cleaning and Creative Crafting with Beachcombing for Coastal Protection
Our "O More Mati" Beach-Cleaning Action in Croatia is a great way to actively participate in environmental protection while having fun. Children especially love to join our actions and creatively use collected beachcombing. Beach-cleaning significantly contributes to the preservation of coasts and the reduction of marine pollution. Creative crafting with beachcombing is a wonderful way to preserve holiday memories while supporting coastal protection.

Why is Marine Protection so Important to Us?
Our seas face many challenges, from pollution to the impacts of climate change. Protecting the seas is crucial not only for the survival of many species but also for the balance of our global ecosystems. Marine protection means securing the health of the oceans, maintaining the livelihoods of billions of people, and leaving future generations with an intact nature.
At Pitter Yachtcharter, marine protection is a heartfelt concern that we actively promote with our customers and partners. Together, we can ensure that future generations can also experience the beauty and diversity of our seas.
"Invictus – Sailing with Heart"
This wonderful project allows young people with heart conditions to spend unforgettable days on the water. Together with the association "Herzkinder Österreich," sailing weeks are organized where the young people not only recharge their batteries but also experience valuable community. It is an honor for us to be part of this initiative. We appreciate the great work of these associations and know how important it is to give these children a carefree time. This is exactly what motivates us to support this valuable commitment time and again.

Sterntalerhof "Sibling Week" – Carefree Time Sailing
The "Sibling Week" is a valuable break for siblings of children with severe or life-limiting illnesses or disabilities. While these siblings often have to hold back in everyday life and struggle with fears and feelings of guilt, their well-being is the focus this week. The exchange with like-minded people and joint activities give them carefree moments that strengthen them. This special week gives them the attention they often lack in everyday life. Thanks to the great commitment of the entire Sterntalerhof team, the Sibling Week 2024 in Croatia could take place both on land and on water. We are pleased that the siblings could enjoy a carefree and joyful time sailing.
