Who We Are

Clean Beach Pirates is a rebellious, joyful and deeply committed eco-social adventure on the Ionian sea (Greece). In summer, we gather on a sailboat to clean remote beaches, explore wild coastlines, connect with each other, sail and co-create alternative futures grounded in care, justice and play. We are a non-profit, associative and volunteer-powered collective with the vision of a world full of pirates who care.

Can you sea we come from the water?

sea Awareness

“We sweat and cry salt water, so we know that the ocean is really in our blood”– Pacific scholar and poet Teresia Teaiwa.

Microplastics are everywhere: in seawater, Arctic snow, fish, table salt, and even human blood, because we are strongly connected to the seas. More than 80% of all marine debris is plastic (bottles, bags, nets, microplastics). Let’s change this together.

WEEK 2 (June 8-14) Finding Balance at Sea

A week-long sailing journey in the Greek islands. Each crew is made up of up to 7 participants plus a skipper and facilitator. We sail, clean beaches, snorkel, chat, cook, dance, and explore the intersections between ecology, justice and freedom.

Week 10 (August 3–9) — Work That Reconnects

We dive into the heart of Joanna Macy’s spiral: practicing presence, gratitude, grief, and renewal — allowing ourselves to truly feel our connection to Earth and each other, and to awaken our capacity to act.

Week 12 (August 17-23) — Pain for the World

In this week we honour the grief, sorrow, and anger we carry for the suffering of the world — embracing these feelings not as weakness, but as evidence of our love and compassion for life.
