Cancun Sailing with Blue Flag 2024: Leader in the Sustainable Tourism

Since our foundation in Cancun Sailing, we have recognized the importance of the marine ecosystem and are highly aware of the problems that affect it. Promoting the protection of nature and the sustainable management of resources has been a commitment that we work on daily, and that has added us to the group of national and international companies that work towards the same objective.

Blue Flag Award 2024

This year, we are very proud to be not only the first boat company in LATAM to be awarded a Blue Flag certification but also to become first place worldwide with the largest number of Blue Flag certified ships, totaling 25.

But, you may be wondering: what is Blue Flag?

Blue Flag is an internationally recognized award given to beaches, marinas, and boat operators. It meets the highest quality standards and offers and promotes environmental education activities that help achieve the program's purpose: to establish a connection between the public and their environment.

"A Blue Flag site promotes awareness for the environment, generating agents of positive change."

Among the criteria to be met and maintained by the candidates for the award, are:

• Seeing environmental education as an integral part of tourism products.

• Evaluating and reducing negative economic, social, and natural ecological impacts.

• Considering the needs of tourists, their employees, and the environment.

• Contributing to the development and distribution of sustainable practices.

Cancun: First destination to raise Blue Flags after Covid-19

Additionally, the Benito Juarez City Council announced on June 13 of this year that Cancun has achieved the first national place in Blue Flag sites with 35 flags (10 beaches and 25 Cancun Sailing boats) and is now the first destination to hoist the flags again after the stoppage of activities by COVID-19.

Among the beaches that were awarded with this badge are:

• Ballenas

• Coral

• Chac-Mool

• Delfines

• Playa El Niño

So, if you are considering going to the beach once it opens, you must visit at least one on the list!
