Counteract Your Superyacht Carbon Footprint Today
Counteract the greenhouse gas impact arising from your yachting activity whilst preserving your cruising freedom
“Helping the superyacht community to reduce its net environmental impact since 2008”
Your Partner in Sustainable Yachting
Our Mission: To counterbalance the environmental impact of the superyacht community, making our industry less impactful on our planet.
Since 2008, we have been at the forefront of the superyacht industry’s quest to reduce its carbon footprint. Our advice to clients starts with the promotion of sustainable practices that minimise energy consumption. Thereafter, our carbon offsetting services offer an immediate and meaningful solution for counterbalancing the impact of the unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions.
The Benefits of Establishing a Carbon Offset Programme
Fuel use is one of the most significant contributors to a yacht’s carbon footprint. It is essential to adopt a proactive approach to reducing emissions at source, which includes operating the yacht efficiently and implementing strategies to minimise fossil fuel consumption.
For the emissions that cannot be eliminated, carbon offsetting offers an immediate, cost-effective, and impactful solution. By investing in certified projects that reduce or remove emissions elsewhere, yacht owners and operators can counterbalance their unavoidable GHG impact while continuing to enjoy the yachting experience responsibly.
By reducing the environmental impact of your yachting, you show conscientious leadership and align with the values of clients, guests, employees, and stakeholders who care about energy use and the planet. Even a small investment in carbon offsetting brings big benefits:
- Act responsibly: Many yacht owners share a passion for yachting with a concern for the environment. Carbon offsetting helps to minimise your environmental impact while still enjoying cruising freedom.
- Enhance your reputation: For those with elevated public profiles, or businesses with a strong environmental focus, carbon offsetting demonstrates real commitment to sustainability. This can enhance your brand image and reputation.
- Stand out in the Charter Market: Promoting eco-friendly practices makes your yacht more attractive to environmentally conscious charter clients.
- Strengthen local ties: Carbon offsetting can help to foster positive relationships with ports and local authorities. In the future, these efforts may be directly recognised through affinity programs, discounts, or priority schemes.
to Carbon Offsetting
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) comprise Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), Nitrous Oxide (N2O) and Fluorinated gases, with CO2 being the largest contributor to climate change. We work with you to identify GHG emission sources relating to your yachting activity and effectively counterbalance the unavoidable emissions tonne for tonne by supporting high quality carbon reduction projects carefully selected for our yachting clientele.
We utilise our bespoke carbon footprint calculator to determine the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with your yachting activity.
We select high-quality projects aligned with your preferences in terms of location and technology. These projects support significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and often benefit communities in developing countries.
To complete the carbon offset transaction, we retire the necessary carbon credits from international registries. This action effectively neutralises your emissions, ensuring a one-to-one offset.
Following the offset transaction, we issue a personalised Carbon Offset Certificate. These certificates outline the specific emission sources and the chosen offset project, and we can tailor them to align with your disclosure preferences.
