Why ABORD?

ABORD is more than a platform, it's a sustainable alternative to maritime mobility.


Etienne and Justine's aim is to find a simple, ecological and accessible way to enable everyone to cross the seas in a different way, by taking advantage of the most natural resource of all: the wind.

The idea behind ABORD

Travelling has become an ecological dilemma, and there are two ways to cross the seas:

  • Air travel, which accounts for 40% of tourism-related CO2 emissions.

  • The ferry, often seen as an alternative, emits up to 850g of CO2 per kilometer and per passenger.

So why not simply use the many sailboats we have in French ports?

At ABORD, we believe it's time to reinvent mobility.

Why choose co-browsing with ABORD?

An environmentally-friendly mode of transport

Unlike airplanes or ferries, sailboats use wind as their main energy source, drastically reducing the carbon footprint of sea travel.

Sailing means learning to live in harmony with nature, saving resources and savoring every moment.

An immersive experience

A community of trust

ABORD is a secure, trusted platform where crew members and skippers can easily find each other, exchange information and evaluate their experiences.

Wind as an engine for change

In a world where ecosystems are under threat, sailing is a sustainable solution. True, a sailboat requires resources to build, but it's one of the only means of transport, along with cycling, that doesn't depend on fossil fuels.


At ABORD, we believe in accessible, eco-responsible shipping. By embarking with us, you become an agent of change towards more sustainable mobility.
