Zorba Project: sail with Greenpeace

The Zorba Project by Greenpeace started in 1996 with the boat that a member had ceded to the ecological association. At present, if offers the possibility of sailing for six days on board the 18 metre wooden sailing ship, "Greenpeace VI/Zorba" for 68,000 pesetas.

The project for Marine Coastal Environment Education onboard the Greenpeace VI-Zorba, administred by the Greenpeace office in Palma de Mallorca, is based on economical selfsufficiency, the participants being the ones who contribute to the maintenance, both by monetary contributions (crew who come to receive environment education) or by their voluntary work (sailors, cooks, maintenance helpers).

Principally they sail along the Mallorcan coast and regularly visit the National Maritime Land National Park of Cabrera.
