“Helping the superyacht community to reduce its net environmental impact since 2008”
Your Partner in Sustainable Yachting
At Yacht Carbon Offset, we are dedicated to transforming the superyacht industry to be a more responsible and environmentally friendly pursuit. Since 2008, we have been at the forefront of the superyacht industry’s quest to reduce its carbon footprint and embrace more sustainable practices. Our mission is clear: to counterbalance the environmental impact of the superyacht industry, one yacht at a time, making yachting more responsible and less impactful on our planet.
The Benefits of Establishing a Carbon Offset Programme
For less than €0.04 per litre, you can make a significant difference by offsetting your yacht’s carbon footprint. This small investment delivers powerful benefits, as experienced by our clients:
- Environmental responsibility with action: Many of our clients, especially those who share a passion for yachting with a concern for the environment, find great satisfaction in taking concrete action to balance their carbon footprint. Carbon offsetting allows you to enjoy your yachting experience while minimising your environmental impact.
- Enhance your brand reputation: For those with a high public profile (e.g. politicians, celebrities), or businesses with a strong environmental focus, carbon offsetting demonstrates your commitment to sustainability. This can significantly enhance your brand image and reputation.
- Competitive advantage in the charter market: Yachts marketed for charter can leverage carbon offsetting as a positive differentiator. Highlighting environmentally friendly practices in your promotional materials can attract eco-conscious clientele.
- Building stronger relationships with local authorities: 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
Carbon offsetting is an efficient tool that enables the superyacht community to take concrete steps towards reducing the impact of its carbon footprint. It is the process of compensating for unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions by investing in projects that generate clean energy and support sustainable initiatives.
We work with you to identify emission sources related to your yachting activity, including CO2, CH4, and N2O emissions from fuel, power consumption, and more.
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 personalised Yacht Carbon Offset Certificates. These certificates outline the specific emission sources and the chosen offset project, and we can tailor them to align with your disclosure preferences.
