At NCP Charter, delivering exceptional sailing experiences along Croatia’s breathtaking coastline is at the heart of what we do. But we know that preserving the pristine seas that make these journeys unforgettable is just as important.
That is why we are proud to announce that we are now a Green Sail Footprint Verified partner, formally recognised for our commitment to sustainability in nautical tourism.
This verification is more than a symbol, it is a promise. It reflects our efforts to reduce environmental impact while offering premium, eco-conscious charter experiences.
What Is Green Sail?
Green Sail is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting sustainable ecotourism and protecting our seas and nature. Through education and practical solutions, Green Sail partners with nautical tourism providers like NCP Charter to pioneer grassroots solutions for sustainability challenges and reduce the environmental impact of nautical tourism.
With its data-driven approach, the Green Sail Footprint program empowers us to track our impact and continuously improve our environmental performance.
How The Green Sail Footprint Program Works
Endorsed by scientists from the Institute for Tourism in Croatia, the Green Sail Footprint Program provides a science-based, per-vessel assessment of environmental impact. It evaluates:
- Emissions: Produced by onboard engines and generators.
- Power Usage: Efficiency of consumption onboard.
- Water Usage: How effectively water is used and conserved on the vessel.
In addition, the program encourages efforts like the use of solar panels, recycling systems, and eco-friendly products. These insights allow us to make strategic, data-driven improvements across our fleet.
This program inspired us to introduce a range of eco-friendly upgrades across our yacht charter fleet, so you can enjoy your sailing adventure in Croatia with confidence that it is both luxurious and kind to the sea.
What We Are Doing at NCP Charter
As a verified Green Sail partner, NCP Charter has already taken several meaningful steps to lower our impact:
- Staff Training: Our staff have completed Green Sail’s sustainability courses to make more environmentally responsible choices at sea and onshore.
- Reusable Textile Shopping Bags: All yachts are stocked with long-lasting textile bags to reduce plastic waste.
- Eco-Friendly Sailing Guides: Guests receive practical guides on sustainable sailing, empowering them to be part of the solution.
- FINSULATE Antifouling Wrapping: We have introduced this innovative, non-toxic solution on one of our Dufour yachts, reducing chemical pollution while maintaining high vessel performance.
Why It Matters
Sustainability is not just good for our environment, it enhances the entire sailing experience. By reducing our ecological footprint, we protect Croatia’s natural beauty, meet growing guest expectations for responsible travel, and prepare for the future of the industry.
When you sail with NCP Charter, you are choosing more than just a premium charter, you are joining a movement toward cleaner seas and greener horizons.
