How Catamarans Are A More Eco-Friendly Choice For Your Next Yacht Charter

At Boatbookings, we constantly seek to provide unforgettable boating experiences while minimising environmental impact. For this reason, we are proud to spotlight our fleet of greener crewed charter catamarans. Catamarans are the ultimate choice for charter clients seeking both luxury and sustainability. Here, we explore why catamarans are leading the charge when it comes to a greener charter: 

Fuel Efficiency 

One of the most significant benefits of catamarans is their exceptional fuel efficiency. Thanks to the unique hull designs, catamarans experience less water resistance than monohulls. This results in less fuel consumption, especially when motoring. A sailing catamaran also improves this, with more wind power being used. Many of our greener crewed catamaran fleets are also equipped with hybrid propulsion systems, combining electric motors with conventional engines. This allows for less environmental impact and silent, emission-free cruising. 

Greener Power 

Catamarans are ideal for utilising renewable energy sources. The wide, stable platforms provide ample space for solar panels, harnessing nature’s power. An example of this is the Sunreef Yachts Eco models. The Polish shipyard developed a patented in-house solar skin that is integrated into the superstructure, and with this solar panel, a large proportion of the catamarans’ energy needs can be generated. 

Minimal Impact 

The shallow draft of catamarans is another critical feature that contributes to their environmental friendliness. Unlike deeper-keeled monohulls, catamarans can easily access shallow waters and anchor without disturbing sensitive marine ecosystems. This is especially important in the French Riviera, where new anchoring restrictions deter boats from anchoring in the Posidonia seagrass areas. With catamarans, there are more possibilities for anchoring closer to the shore. 

Spacious & Efficient 

Sustainability isn’t just about fuel and energy consumption and efficient use of space and resources. Catamarans boast expansive living areas and deck spaces while maintaining a smaller overall footprint than monohulls of similar capacity. Such an efficient design means lower energy requirements for climate control and lighting. Many catamarnas feature large windows and open-play layouts that maximise natural light and ventilation. 

Spreading The Awareness

Choosing a catamaran for your charter isn’t just about reducing your environmental impact – it’s also an opportunity for education and awareness. The crew onboard our greener crewed catamarans are passionate about marine conservation and are always eager to share their knowledge with guests.

Boatbookings Commitment to Empower a Greener Yacht Charter Industry

While the world of yacht charters provides luxurious platforms for adventure and once-in-a-lifetime vacations, the industry also understands the growing recognition that our actions profoundly impact the environment. At Boatbookings, we have embraced this responsibility and are leading the charge towards a more sustainable future for the yacht charter industry. 

As a leading marketplace for yacht charters, we understand that our role extends beyond simply facilitating bookings. We advocate for a greener charter industry and champion marine conservation and responsible tourism. 

This ethos is at the core; here are some of the ways we are showing our commitment to improving the yacht charter industry: 

Spreading Awareness 

We believe that education and advocacy are crucial in driving meaningful change. Through our engagement with industry associations like MYBA, we are helping actively shape the conversation around sustainability. We share best practices and empower clients and yachts to join. Our consultants explain the importance of greener decisions regarding chartering and encouraging more sustainable preference choices, such as refusing single-use plastic and offsetting carbon emissions. We also continually educate the industry by sharing the knowledge we gather on sustainability through this blog

Embracing Carbon Offsetting 

We recognise that carbon emissions are an unavoidable aspect of many yacht charters. Alternative propulsion and fuels are slowly coming to the fore, a huge proportion of the fleet still has combustion engines. Our carbon offsetting program, the first of its kind within the industry, allows our clients to calculate their charters’ carbon footprint and purchase credits to offset the impact. This helps clients take an active role in preserving our oceans. 

Staying Ahead 

The yacht charter industry is ever-evolving. We constantly monitor emerging green technologies, regulatory changes, and innovative yacht launches. This ensures we remain at the forefront of the sustainability movement. By staying ahead of the curve, we can offer our clients the most up-to-date and eco-conscious options. 

Offer Better Options

Because we stay ahead and are committed to improving the industry’s green credentials, we constantly expand our eco-friendly yacht fleet and our greener crewed catamaran charters. We want to ensure clients have the broadest range of eco-conscious yachts to choose for their vacation. Our team can also help clients, boats, and crews navigate better preferences for the yacht charter through preference sheets. We encourage these evolving needs of more environmentally conscious charterers and aim to help facilitate these onboard every boat. 

In the quest for a greener future for the yacht charter industry, we embrace our responsibility and take steps to reduce our impact. For more information on the range of greener crewed catamarans on offer or other sustainability initiatives, contact one of the Boatbookings team today.
