Boatbookings.com launches "Green Chartering" Carbon Credits Program

 

Boatbookings.com, a world leader in online yacht charter, has launched its eco-chartering program, allowing all customers to calculate CO2 emissions and purchase credits to offset them if they choose. Believed to be the first of its kind in the Yacht Charter industry, the program was created to increase awareness of the carbon emissions created by charter yachts, and allow customers to easily offset them.

Managing Director of Boatbookings.com, Tom Virden, says, "Recognising that yachts we charter often emit significant amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, we wanted to offer our customers a simple way to reduce the impact of their charters. We teamed up with Climate Care, a UK company that works with many of the airlines and travel companies, to provide this service. Our hope is to greatly reduce Carbon Emissions from our charters, as well as helping educate the industry that even sailboats with small motors create significant amounts of CO2 emissions. We also want to help educate customers about non-polluting charter practices, and advancements in low emissions chartering, such as the Lagoon 420 Hybrid yacht."

A complete discussion about carbon emissions and how to offset them, can be found at Green Chartering.
