Why Choose Yacht Carbon Offset?
Luxury Yacht Market Focus
Since 2008, we’ve been dedicated to counteracting the impact of carbon emissions within the superyacht industry. From yacht owners, captains, and charterers to yacht management companies, shipyards, and event organisers, we cater to a diverse clientele while prioritising our client’s privacy.
Transparent Audited Process
We believe in transparency, which is why each carbon offset certificate is backed by detailed documentation, traceable to the specific project it supports. Our processes are also audited by LRQA, to ensure quality and trust.
Project Relevance and Choice
We use our market expertise to complete additional project due diligence and select only high-quality carbon emission reduction projects tailored to the superyacht community, reflecting your preference for technology and location.
Carbon Market Expertise
Our carbon offsetting service is underpinned by our extensive knowledge in both the environmental and yachting sectors. This foundation positions us as industry leaders, blending a profound understanding of environmental concerns with expertise in the intricate world of yachting. Our understanding of project technologies and the carbon market ensures that every offset makes a meaningful impact.
Competitive Pricing
Despite our personal, tailored service, our prices are highly competitive. Our commitment to value is continually validated through benchmarking against comparable non-specialist carbon offset providers.
Our Story
Since our inception in 2008, we have successfully counterbalanced the carbon footprint of hundreds of superyacht owners, captains, yacht charter and management companies, marinas, shipyards and other industry professionals, thereby creating a tangible and positive impact on the environment. Additionally, we have collaborated with diverse service providers and event organisers, reinforcing our impact across the maritime industry.
In 2009, we got approval from LRQA for our Quality Management System following the ISO 9001: 2008 standards, and we’ve been renewing this certification every year since.
Our superyacht client base continued to grow, and our services expanded to include other big players like the shipyard MB92, the MYBA Charter Show, and the Antigua Charter Yacht Meeting. It’s been quite a journey!
Joining our fleet are S.Y. Hyperion and S.Y. Twizzle, adding to the growing list of superyachts supporting our mission towards a more sustainable yachting industry.
In 2012, we welcomed M.Y. Baton Rouge and M.Y. Meamina as our community of environmentally conscious superyacht clients continued to grow.
Experiencing remarkable customer growth, we expanded our team to support the increasing demand for our carbon offsetting services.
In a pivotal moment, Rachel Goult, a seasoned professional with 20 years of renewable energy project experience, becomes our Managing Director, further enriching our expertise.
Setting a new course, we extend our commitment to carbon reduction by supporting our first marine-based projects, Mikoko Pamoja and Vanga Blue, in Kenya.
As part of our dedication to environmental preservation, we introduce the option for clients to donate to our partner charities, further enhancing their action to preserve the health of our oceans.
