The demand for more eco-friendly practices is currently sweeping across all industries globally. So it perhaps comes as no surprise that shipyards are getting in on the eco-friendly action. Shipyards and builders aren’t only looking to implement more sustainable designs on the yachts they’re building, but also within the yards themselves.
Whether it’s driven by an ethical, reputational or even economic mindset, showing a willingness to be more ‘green’ is essential for modern-day yacht building. However, this is often easier said than done. So, because actions speak louder than words, we investigated what tangible changes some of the industry’s most influential players are making in-house to nurture a more sustainable industry.

Damen Yachting has been commissioned by an experienced owner to build a new custom 72-metre hybrid explorer yacht. Designed by Michael Leach and with an interior by the owner’s team, the construction of the yacht will be overseen by Burgess’ New Construction Team until she is delivered in 2024 in Vlissingen, the Netherlands.
Designed for global cruising, the custom naval architecture by Damen Yachting includes a hybrid system that will allow zero-emission operations as the vessel explores some of the most pristine and untouched waters of our oceans. “This hybrid expedition vessel is an absolutely unique project,” says Damen Yachting Managing Director Rose Damen. “We are dedicated to developing more efficient propulsion and power management solutions for our clients, which are underpinned by an environmentally sensitive mind-set.”
