HELENE DU PLESSIS, CHIEF STEW We went almost completely plastic free, bought clear glass bottles with silicone lids and filled them up and kept them in the fridge for the guests. They had little jackets to protect them when being used elsewhere. We also have a water dispenser in the mess.

SHANNON WALKER, CHIEF STEW We have gone plastic free. We have installed two water filtration systems in the crew mess and pantry. We have glass Chilly bottles for guest service, branded 500ml Chilly bottles for cabins, beach days and fridges. All crew have their own Chilly bottle.

THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF PLASTIC WASTE EVER MADE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN RECYCLED

DEVIL RAY
These rays inhabit the reigns of the Mediterranean
deepwater often up to several hundred metres. They have an average life span of 20 years and a very low reproductive capacity, meaning the population is declining. Coupled with death from bycatch (being caught in other nets) they were classified as endangered by IUCN back in 2006. While feeding, devil rays can dive to depths of nearly 2km for around 60-90 minutes, at speeds of 22km/h.
RADIOACTIVE The award-winning STEREOACTIVE™ combines world-class
industrial design, high-quality music reproduction, intelligent functionality and an extensive feature set that has resulted in a rugged, portable marine stereo system. Simply install the Fusion Puck with the provided 3M adhesive or screws, mount the STEREOACTIVE and enjoy Bluetooth audio streaming, AM/FM radio, or USB play backs.

No, because the crew refuse to drink the tap water. Treatment system is not run properly by the engineers and there is no evidence of testing or kits because they can’t be bothered or it’s too expensive. But plastic bottles double the garbage volume.
MALGORZATA SCHEIDLE, CHIEF STEW We are only 22m yacht but we are trying. Our website and instagram promotes eco yachting. We buy glass bottles, no plastic. Our toothbrushes and qtips are bamboo, all straws are bamboo and stainless, guests love the green initiative.
HANNAH STADDON - CHEF We’ve gone plastic bottle free! We encourage the guests to bring their gym water bottles with them but we also give the guests branded yetis to drink out of and take home as an incentive - so far it’s been greatly accepted by the guests.
The chance for mistakes is about equal to the number of crew squared.

STEWART MCDONALD, CAPTAIN I had a Naturizzata system installed that provides extra filtration and sterilisation that also produces sparkling water. Then had customised bottles with the yacht logo made. Wish I had done it earlier, it paid for itself in the first season.
