Happy Earth Day! πβ»οΈ
A bit of a reminder to pause and think about how we show up for the places we love πππ
Sustainability is not just something we care about, it is at the core of everything we do. Over the last year this has looked like rescuing over 500 lbs of rope and 400 lbs of wetsuits, off the landfill and turning them into something new for you and your pup. β»οΈπΎ
π If you want to show your care for the planet this week, here are a few simple ways to still make a difference:
β’ Pick up trash on your next beach walk
β’ Bring your own mug to the coffee shop
β’ Repair your gear before replacing
β’ Shop local and support sustainable brands
Small actions, real impact π π

Let me tell you the story behind my brand..
BATO is a twist on the French word for boat, and if you know meβ¦ you know that makes perfect sense!! β΅οΈπ
This is the story of the passion that fueled my inspiration, guided my career path, and ultimately became the anchor of my entrepreneurial journey.
Travelled the world in them, lived on them, fished in them, owned many of them, worked in them, learn to fix them... and mostly LOVED THEM VERH MUCH! βοΈπ
This is a backwards journey through the last 15 years of seabound life.. scroll to the last slide to catch a glimse of the trip that changed the course of my life, an offshore adventure through Australia and out to Indonesia aboard the "Cape Petrel".
A decade of learning to challenge and trust myself as a captain (one barge, one fishing boat, two sailboats later), and countless sea-spray smiles and friend-ships along the way.. I am still keeping my boat dreams alive! β΅οΈπ
The ocean is my compass.
Boats are my destiny.
The sea is stitched into my identity.
BATO isnβt just a name - Itβs my story βοΈπ

βοΈ Built tough for little pups with big energy! π
Don't let her size fool you, this little island princess may be small, but we can't say the same about her personality! Somehow she sat pretty just long enough for the shot, but she is usually seen bouncing everywhere. π Big props to her mama with her mad skills behind the lense (and patience..!)
Our small upcycled boat rope collars
βοΈ Made with a smaller 3/4" heavy-duty marine nylon buckle, and stainless steel hardware.
π Size widely adjustable 11"-18" or custom sizes available.
