Green on Blue: How to Execute an Eco-Friendly Yacht Launch Event?

Do Yachts and Eco-Friendly Go Hand in Hand? Let's Dive In!

For all the yacht aficionados out there, there's no greater joy than the launch event of your grand luxury yacht. However, with the rising concerns of global warming, it’s time we dumped our confetti cannons, and steer our boats towards a more eco-friendly horizon. Don’t get off-board just yet! Who said eco-friendly launch parties can't be as grand as a royal ball on the French Riviera?

“A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor”, so strap in and let's weather this ‘green’ sea storm together!

Breathe Green into Your Yacht Launch Invitations

The first wave of your eco-friendly yacht launch event can start with something as petite as the invitations. Opt for digital invites, or use recycled paper. Even more exquisite would be the 'plantable invitations’. Yes, your invitees can grow a plant from your invitations, how cool is that?

Use Renewable Energy Alternatives for Illumination

When the sun goes down and the party lights go up, privilege solar or wind energy to power your event. Decorate your yacht with LED lights which use up to 85% less energy compared to the incandescent ones.

Keep it Local, Fresh and Organic for your Menu

Fish is the flywheel of any yacht party, but let's not cast anchors in troubled waters. Opt for locally-caught, sustainably-fished sea creatures, and compliment them with fresh organic salads and desserts. As Captain Paul Watson quips, ‘If the oceans die, we die.’ So let’s ensure our gastronomical indulgences don’t witness a sea of extinction!

Party Décor – It’s All About Sustainable Luxury!

Creating an alluring ambience doesn’t necessarily have to ding your eco-ethos. Use recyclable décor items and compostable flatware. For your yacht party tables, forget plastic and choose exquisite bamboo fibre tablecloths and mats.

Avoiding Water Pollution during Yacht Launch

This is one of those times when you definitely don’t want to be in deep water! Biodegradable confetti and eco-friendly fireworks are two fantastic ways to ensure your yacht launch doesn’t go overboard and keeps its green promise.

Yachting, being eco-conscious, and having a grand time, needn't be on different boats. Ensuring an eco-friendly stance, while allowing for opulent indulgence, is thrilling, challenging, and ultimately rewarding. So, the next time you plan a yacht launch event, ride high on the wave of sustainability, proving Yachts can also leave green wake trails!
