The Top Three Most Sustainable Charter Yachts Currently on the Market
In recent years, the world of superyachts has seen an exciting shift towards sustainability. With environmental concerns at the forefront of many industries, the yachting world is no exception. Superyachts.com takes a look at three of the most notable eco-friendly superyachts currently available for charter that are redefining the industry’s approach to sustainable yachting.
105m BLACK PEARL
BLACK PEARL, launched in 2016 by Oceanco, is arguably the most iconic sailing yacht ever built: the largest in the world at 105 metres. She is defined by her status as a ‘zero-impact yacht,’ relying on wind, solar power, and twin hybrid engines to perform with excellence, which is a feat for a vessel of this size. Her energy management systems are advanced and ensure that all power sources run smoothly.
Aside from being impressively green, BLACK PEARL has a unique array of amenities available for guests, ranging from a dance floor and movie theater, to a gym and a sauna. This variety allows guests with a host of interests to feel at home onboard.
Nuvolari Lenard is behind BLACK PEARL’s majestic exterior and interior design, with collaboration from Ken Frievockh Design, and Villate Design, respectively. The high contrast colour scheme is undeniably striking and highlights the breadth of her sails.
BLACK PEARL is currently available for charter with Superyacht Connections.
83m SAVANNAH
SAVANNAH is a stunning 83 metre yacht launched by Feadship in 2015. She was the world’s first hybrid superyacht, breaking barriers with her combination of traditional diesel engines and electric propulsion. She cruises comfortably at 14 knots and can reach a top speed of 18 knots, all while offering an impressive range of up to 6,500 nautical miles. This extended range allows guests to explore remote destinations without the environmental impact associated with traditional fuel consumption.
Alongside her revolutionary technology, SAVANNAH offers every amenity imaginable on board. From a lavish swimming pool and full-service spa to a well-stocked library and ample outdoor lounging space, this yacht is designed for ultimate relaxation. Accessibility is also prioritized on SAVANNAH, with wheelchair access ensuring every individual has the opportunity to experience all that this yacht has to offer.
