Eco Conscious Yachting
Luxury yachting and sustainability aren’t opposites at 99Knots, they go hand in hand. As the Ionian Sea becomes a beacon for responsible travel, we’re proud to lead the shift toward eco-conscious yachting in Corfu and beyond.
From the very beginning, our vision included a commitment to preserving the beauty of the waters we sail. Every charter isn’t just about indulgence; it’s a promise to leave no trace.
Eco-Friendly Engines and Routes
Our fleet of motor yachts uses modern, low-emission engines designed to reduce fuel consumption and minimize underwater noise pollution. We also prioritize intelligent routing: instead of rushing from destination to destination, we create smooth, fuel-efficient itineraries that align with weather patterns and sea conditions.
No Plastic, No Waste
Aboard every 99Knots yacht, you’ll find glass bottles, reusable drinkware, and zero single-use plastic. We stock eco-certified cleaning products and personal care items and maintain onboard recycling practices. Our crews are trained not only in hospitality but in sustainability.
Protecting Marine Life
We never anchor on sensitive seabeds or near Posidonia seagrass meadows, which are vital carbon sinks and habitats. All snorkeling and diving routes are planned with minimal impact in mind, and guests are briefed on how to enjoy the sea responsibly without taking shells, disturbing creatures, or using harmful sunscreens.
Supporting Local & Seasonal
Sustainability includes the communities we visit. We source ingredients locally, favor family-run tavernas, and avoid over-touristed areas during peak hours. That way, your voyage supports real people not just postcard moments.
Educating Guests, Empowering Change
Every guest aboard a 99Knots yacht receives a short eco-briefing. It’s not a lecture it’s an invitation to participate. We’ve found that many travelers want to do better; they just need the tools and encouragement.
Future-Proofing the Ionian
We’re exploring hybrid propulsion systems, solar support tech, and digital waste-monitoring tools. As Corfu faces the pressures of increased tourism, we believe yachting can lead the way in sustainable luxury.
With 99Knots, eco-conscious yachting doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort. It means elevating your journey with deeper purpose, lighter impact, and a greater connection to the Ionian Sea you’ve come to love.
