Charter Operation: |
- Our sailing boats
all uses low fuel usage engines. As we are a
sailing company, considered an eco friendly
business in itself, we strive to use as little
petrol as possible in order not to pollute the
delicate tropical eco system in the waters
around Samui. We only use our low fuel engines
in case of no wind situation or in case of
emergencies.
- We collect and
recycle all our garbage in our beach office as
well as on the boats. All waste is brought back
to the beach for recycling.
- In our line of
work, there are a lot of maintenance and
repairs. We strive to support local businesses
and products as far as possible.
- Our charters have
an eco friendly purpose and message as we bring
our guests to see and appreciate natural
attractions and wildlife. On these excursions we
make sure no garbage is left behind and we even
bring with us garbage left behind by others.
- One of our
catamarans is powered by a solar panel, which
runs all electronics, the freezer and fridge on
board when the engines are turned off.
- We inform and
educate our clients about the surroundings,
especially the underwater world with its
sensitive treasures which should not be touched
or stepped on while we snorkel off the boats!
