“Burgess supports the Clear Ocean Pact as a non-partisan, industry-wide agreement designed to engage superyachts and the wider industry with a common-sense set of actions, practical solutions and products to clean up the oceans and limit the detrimental effect the industry has on them. The problems are bigger than individual companies so it’s time to work towards collective action.”

We are proud to be part of the Clear Ocean Pact and are encouraging our captains and crews to exclude all single use plastic onboard their yachts.  So far multiple vessels of our managed fleet have signed the PACT, our aim is to get not only our yachts signed up, but as many other yachts as possible!

SuperYachtsMonaco specialises in the sale, purchase and charter of yachts of all sizes. Headquartered in Monaco, our very experienced and dedicated team operates globally. Two attributes which are at the heart of our daily business are our simplified approach to yacht charter and purchase and the personal relationships we have with our clients and industry peers. These personal relations extend to the affiliation our line of work has with the sea and our concern for the increasing plastic waste problem.

In representing some of the world’s largest and most exclusive yachts, it is only right that we join the forces tackling this situation. In our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint, we have been encouraging our CA charter yachts to sign up to the CLEAR OCEAN PACT to reduce the dependency of single-use plastic items which are present in the superyacht industry. In doing so, we can help clear our oceans of waste to give everyone a cleaner and healthier lifestyle.

Since 1949, Northrop & Johnson has offered a new dimension of sophistication and service to the yachting lifestyle. Northrop & Johnson’s reputation of success is built on decades of commitment to clients and commerce within the industry. From yacht sales and purchase to charter to management and marketing of the world’s most discerning luxury vessels, Northrop & Johnson offers a total-service approach. Our impressive record of yacht sales, growing charter fleet and global expansion are a testament to the honesty, integrity and steadfast promise to deliver the best to our clientele.

A fundamental part of any successful business is its company culture, critical for maximising business opportunities and the ongoing personal and professional development of staff.

Staff are encouraged to develop through training and gaining new qualifications. Employees regularly attend short training courses and are supported in professional education studies that relate to their role within the company. Continual, individual growth is considered important, and learning is encouraged.

We believe every philanthropist wants to make a meaningful difference. The challenge is to figure out which organizations are best able to make that difference. That takes time and research. We’ve developed a methodology for identifying Ocean-focused organizations that will maximize the impact of your donation.

Cookson Adventures are proud to partner with the Clear Ocean Pact. Launching in 2018 with a mission to reduce the dependency of single-use plastic items in the superyacht industry, it is an initiative that encourages yachts to take an involved role in protecting our oceans.

Understanding the remote corners of the earth in which we operate, and the operational requirements of a superyacht expedition, it is one way in which we are minimising our impact. We also hope that the superyacht world can set a trend for others to follow.

The Pact is a set of dynamic pledges that Cookson Adventures actively encourage any vessel we work with to sign up to, working with Clear Ocean Pact and yacht captains to provide viable solutions to achieve these pledges while not impacting operations

Toxic Timebombs

The problem and damage is not just limited to the environment and marine animals.  As plastic journeys on ocean currents for many years it breaks down due to the action of the sun and waves into tiny particles called microplastics.  These are joined by other ‘primary microplastics’ such a fabric fibres and cosmetic beads.  Unfortunately these plastic particles attract toxins, toxins that can cause all manner of diseases in humans. These toxins have found their way into the oceans over many years from industrial and agricultural sources and until recently the ocean has done a pretty good job of protecting us by diluting them. However, when they come into contact with the billions of plastic microparticles they hitch a ride becoming miniature toxic pills.    These plastic particles are being ingested by marine animals at various trophic levels and as they do so these toxins are being passed up the food chain, becoming more concentrated as they do. Ultimately we are at the top of that food chain and the outcome could be potentially catastrophic.

The yachting experience brings freedom and flexibility to enjoy some of the most beautiful places in the world. Yet super-yachts and mega-yachts are often perceived as having an impact on the environment. With high public awareness of the link between greenhouse gases and climate change, your decision to balance the carbon emissions of your engines through Carbon Offsetting is a practical step that will resonate with friends, associates and others who share your awareness of the impact of your energy use.
