Navigating Ocean Impact: Sailing to Katapult Future Fest 2024

—  How can we reconnect people with the ocean in a way that fosters care and action toward protecting it?

—  What role can sailing expeditions play in shifting perceptions around responsible ocean travel and reducing human impact on marine environments?

—  How can the mental and physical challenges at sea help individuals overcome personal barriers and build inner strength?

 

Mission

At PVO Expeditions, we sail to inspire change. We believe that by combining adventure with purpose, we can create a positive impact on both people and the ocean.

In 2024, we sailed between the stunning Swedish West Coast Archipelago and Katapult Future Fest in Oslo, making waves along the way—both at sea and within ourselves. We navigated easy coastal stretches, faced the challenges of offshore passages, and embraced the thrill of night sailing. Alongside the journey, we engaged with local marine communities, shared knowledge, and explored sustainable solutions. Every expedition is a journey of growth—strengthening our connection to the ocean, to each other, and to a more conscious future.
