We pledge to tread lightly
Working towards an off-grid future
Our commitment to sustainability and reducing our lifecycle impact on the planet informs on every decision we take. We are our own infrastructure, so from the initial design we think greener and consider how to ensure our yachts integrate future technologies to extend their lifespan and upgrade their experience. We also provide opportunities for skilled families of artisans to further their craft. What’s more, we charter with care and attention, forming partnerships and partnering with global and local high-impact initiatives.
Planet: we don’t take more than we give

People: turning our pledge into a positive impact
Our families of Thai shipbuilders – among them composite professionals, engineers, carpenters, electricians, and painters – have worked in the industry for generations. Building a sustainable business will ensure they can continue to pass on their trade for many more generations to follow.
The Adventure Yacht Sustainability Fund, which comprises 0.5% of revenue will be used to support community development and help shape a brighter future for local communities.
We also partner with local and global organizations.
