Sustainability in yachting article

Every yacht is a unique and bespoke construction, built to accommodate its owner's specific tastes. Yachts typically spend only 10% of a year cruising on the seas (with the average length of a yacht cruise being around 40 miles) and, for the remainder of the year, yachts are moored – consuming both fuel and hotel power. As a result of this, yachts are not generally perceived as being inherently sustainable.
