Protecting Our Oceans Together
At CharterWorld, we believe that yacht charter is about more than just luxury - it puts us in a unique position to act as guardians of our oceans. As stewards of marine environments, we are committed to reducing our footprint, promoting sustainable practices, and supporting those leading the way in ocean conservation.
That’s why we’re proud to collaborate with The International SeaKeepers Society, a global nonprofit that connects vessel owners, scientists and educators to help protect our world’s oceans. Through their leading programs such as the DISCOVERY Fleet, citizen science efforts, and educational outreach, SeaKeepers enables real, measurable change.
Sustainable Yachting in Practice
- Platform for Research: By opening up access to yachts, scientists can conduct marine research, monitor ecosystems, and collect data that informs conservation.
- Raising Awareness: Guests, crews and our wider yachting community are encouraged to engage with ocean issues like plastic pollution, climate change, and habitat loss.
- Education & Outreach: We support SeaKeepers’ mission to bring marine science into classrooms, communities, and onboard yachts, helping develop the next generation of ocean stewards.
- Sustainable Yachting Standards: Working alongside SeaKeepers, we are exploring best practices - fuel efficiency, waste management and clean operations — to minimise environmental impact.
Fuel-Efficient Yachts: Sailing Smarter
One of the most powerful ways we reduce environmental impact is through the choice of vessel. Fuel efficiency isn’t a compromise - it’s a major advance in comfort, cost, and conservation. Here’s what we’re seeing in the industry, and how CharterWorld is helping you charter more responsibly:
- Hybrid, Solar & Alternative Propulsion: Modern yachts are increasingly adopting hybrid diesel-electric systems, solar panels, and energy storage solutions. These reduce reliance on fossil fuels and allow quieter, cleaner cruising.
- Optimised Hulls and Hydrodynamics: Sleeker hull shapes and advanced hydrodynamic design reduce drag, which means less power needed to maintain speed. That reduces both fuel consumption and emissions.
- Displacement & Efficient Motor Yachts: Yachts designed for steady cruising rather than pure speed tend to burn less fuel per nautical mile. Displacement motor yachts, long-range catamarans, and sail-assisted vessels can offer significantly better efficiency.
Your Charter, Your Impact
We invite you to join us on this journey. When you charter a fuel-efficient yacht, you’re not only experiencing beauty, but you’re also making a choice that benefits oceans and future generations. Every voyage can be an act of conservation. Every guest a steward of the sea.
