Sustainability

Everything we do happens on the water, so the state of that water matters to us more than most. As part of the Mendip Adventure family we share their commitment to nature recovery and to cutting our footprint.

What we do

• We keep the harbour clean. Our crews pick litter out of the water as they go, and we run harbour clean-up paddles through the season.
• We kit up for the long run. Boards, boats and wetsuits are repaired and kept in service rather than replaced, and worn kit is passed on where it still has life in it.
• We travel light. Sessions start in the middle of the city, so most people walk, cycle or take the ferry to us.
• We keep single-use out of it. No single-use plastic bottles or cups on site; bring your own and fill it up with us.
• We support the Mendip Foundation, which gets people outdoors who would not otherwise get the chance. You can add a donation when you book.

What we ask of you

• Come by foot, bike or ferry if you can.
• Bring a refillable bottle.
• Give wildlife room, particularly swans and nesting birds along the banks.
• Take everything home with you, and grab any litter you pass on the water.

The water itself

Bristol Harbour is a working harbour. We check the water and the weather before every session and we will move or cancel a session rather than put people on water we are not happy with.
