BVI Catamaran Charters – Going Green on Greenboat 1

Wednesday Jun 12, 2013 BVI Catamaran Charter - Eco Friendly

Now this new BVI catamaran charter yacht is right up my alley.  I’ve been touting charter yachts going green for a few years now, and this “just launched”  54′ Nautitech charter catamaran combines  luxurious accommodations, high performance sailing, and leading edge green technology for the smallest carbon footprint possible.  The name says it all – Greenboat I.  I hope that the “I” means that there are more green catamaran charters coming our way. With the state of the art lithium-ion battery, LED lighting, wind generator, many solar panels, and ultra-silent high output generator, the hush of dawn can be heard even if the AC is running. Three guest queen suites each fully air-conditioned with private bath/electric toilet/shower stall and tablet controlled TV, music and movies. Read more…
