Purpose

The idea of private submersibles on superyachts is relatively new, but their popularity is growing – and they are also proving invaluable in giving scientists and researchers more access to the mysterious ocean depths.

The full Legasea mentorship programme begins in earnest in January 2022, and its promotion of collaboration and career longevity is sure to benefit the whole of the superyacht industry.

Superyacht owners and their families not only have a vested interest in the health of our oceans, they are perfectly placed to help preserve them. Here are five ways that yachting families can get involved as citizen scientists and climate caretakers.

The idea of ‘giving back’ doesn’t just mean contributing to big-ticket ocean conservation projects, as important as they are. Indeed, a surprising number of yacht owners and crews are quietly making a big difference in a lot of little ways.

Water Revolution Foundation is leading a new approach to ocean conservation, and hoping to draw a crowd.

Chief officer Jenny Matthews is creating ripples of positive change through the industry with her ever-evolving social impact platform.

When a new superyacht is commissioned, it opens up possibilities and opportunities for tens of thousands of people – and in some cases – entire communities.

The launch of the Yachts for Science initiative is making waves in the industry and far beyond.

A new environmental mission – the Great Reef Census – is underway and superyacht charter guests are being invited along for the ride.
