Camper & Nicholsons International (CNI) are experts in every area of yacht charter, build, design, brokerage, charter management, yacht management and crew placement. One of the great pleasures of sailing is the tremendous sense of freedom it affords, but every aspect of life has an impact on the planet, and travel is no exception. In order to protect this heritage, CNI continue to operate as a CarbonNeutral company in partnership with TCNC, this providing clients with the glamorous experiences they have come to expect, while at the same time keeping a conscientious eye on the environment.

CNI have measured the source and level of greenhouse gases that they produce from all their activities and continue to reduce emissions. There will always be a degree of unavoidable emissions but, thanks to TCNC, since 2005 CNI have been offsetting these emissions by soaking up equivalent amounts through new forestry and ‘green energy’ schemes around the world. CNI can make your next charter a little ‘greener’ by measuring and ‘neutralising’ the CO2 associated with the fuel burned by any yacht.
