Clean Waters & Environmental Advocacy: Sailing Greener with Kathleen D Sailing Catamarans

At Kathleen D Sailing Catamarans, we believe in sailing responsibly, ensuring our marine ecosystems remain pristine for future generations. As stewards of the water, we’re dedicated to reducing our environmental footprint, both through sustainable practices on our catamarans and ongoing partnerships with local environmental organizations.

Kathleen D Goes Electric! A Clean Sailing Initiative

In our continuous effort to keep Florida’s waters cleaner and healthier, we are thrilled to announce our Electric Propulsion Upgrade Program. This innovative change will equip our catamarans with clean, electric-powered motors, fueled by solar renewable lithium-ion batteries.

These motors will primarily be used during those calm days when the wind refuses to blow or while docking—allowing us to further reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. Not only are these electric engines environmentally friendly, but they also offer a quiet and peaceful cruising experience, letting our guests truly connect with the natural surroundings.

This is just the beginning of our ongoing dedication to sustainable sailing practices as we work to reduce our carbon footprint and contribute positively to the health of our local waters.

Supporting Environmental Non-Profits

Kathleen D Sailing Catamarans recognizes the pressing need to support the restoration and preservation of our waterways. That’s why we’ve committed to donating $1 per reservation to two influential organizations: Suncoast Waterkeeper and Captains for Clean Water.

Suncoast Waterkeeper

Suncoast Waterkeeper’s mission is to protect and restore the Florida Suncoast’s waterways through enforcement, fieldwork, and advocacy. They work to ensure that appropriate environmental laws are being followed and take corrective action when necessary. They focus on restoring our coastal ecosystems, benefiting both marine life and the communities that rely on these resources.

Captains for Clean Water

Captains for Clean Water was born out of the belief that many of the environmental issues facing Florida’s estuaries and the Everglades stem from a lack of awareness. Their mission is to restore and protect aquatic ecosystems by advocating for science-based solutions, ensuring these waters can be enjoyed by future generations.

Why Eco-Friendly Sailing Matters

Sailing has always been one of the most environmentally friendly ways to explore the water, but we believe there’s always more we can do to reduce our impact. Electric propulsion allows us to preserve the delicate balance of our marine ecosystems by minimizing water pollution, lowering noise pollution, and maintaining the natural beauty of our coastlines.

By choosing Kathleen D Sailing Catamarans, you’re not just booking a sailing experience—you’re contributing to the preservation of Sarasota’s waters for generations to come.
