CetoSea

CetoSea was founded to showcase the potential for a wholly sustainable business model to exist within the marine industry by putting ocean conservation at the forefront of all operations. The company offers a wide range of solutions and services, each with an intense focus on conservation and complete sustainability.

CetoSea's offshore & coastal sailing yacht adventures operate throughout the Caribbean, and facilitate beach & ocean plastic pollution clean-up events, partner with local organizations onsite for a range of environmental topics, and allow eco-minded travelers to experience ocean travel from aboard a custom-outfitted sailing yacht. Clients participate in citizen science research through ocean microplastic collection efforts, among other issues related to marine science.

Serving the needs of stakeholders in the marine industry, they also work to advocate and provide for heightened sustainability in yacht brokering, maintenance, refit, delivery, and cruising by pioneering strategies to minimize direct & indirect impacts on the ocean ecosystem. The business specializes in offshore, bluewater sailing with over 70,000 nautical miles logged by Founder/Director Vincent Mattiola, a licensed US Coast Guard 100 ton Master Captain.

Using principles of combined environmental-, economic-, and sociocultural-sustainability, CetoSea also consults for numerous existing organizations who are seeking to adapt operations and align with a desire to protect and conserve our blue planet and all its inhabitants.

Typical clients include yacht & business owners, NGO directors, researchers, holiday adventure travelers, Universities, and individuals alike. Any party interested in ocean plastics, the Caribbean, conservation, sustainable travel, ocean advocacy, sustainable investing, or similar is welcome to get in touch and discuss collaboration with CetoSea.

Future directions include establishing a marine debris repurposing facility in the southern Caribbean, providing ocean plastic samples to research teams worldwide, and opening an investment fund targeted toward ocean conservation & preservation.
