GREEN INITIATIVES:  BROKERS & YACHTS GOING GREEN
Together, taking steps to ensure the future health & beauty of our oceans

CYBA is passionate about reducing environmentally damaging practices within our industry. Our oceans need protection and every conscientious action is a step toward ensuring the oceans future health.

 

Hydration Stations: CYBA has partnered with MTN Communications and the Antigua Charter Yacht Show to make this years show even more eco-friendly. All show participants - yachts, brokers, vendors and press, will be given re-usable water bottles and encouraged to use water stations located on the dock and at the hospitality desk. Plan to fill up your bottle at one of the CYBA stations or when aboard one of the yachts rather than using any plastic bottles during the show.

 

CYBA Save the Blue AwardsMany yachts in the show will have their CYBA Save The Blue Award on display. Look for the green and blue rosettes displayed by the yachts, signifying that the recipient is committed to the environmental health of our oceans. 

 

Most Eco Friendly Yacht Awards: CYBA will be presenting an award to one motor and one sail yacht for their outstanding efforts.
