When it comes to keeping superyacht operating costs down fuel consumption is the key.
It is a fact well known to Goolets, an international yacht charter company with 18 years of industry experience.
The company acts as the Central Agent (manager) for a cost effective fleet of 10 superyachts that is revolutionising sustainability in the yachting industry.
This fleet of “smart vessels” has been meticulously designed with a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability, resulting in dramatically reduced fuel consumption compared to their counterparts.
They consume less than half the fuel, making them a truly sustainable choice for luxury yacht charterers who care about the planet.
Goolets‘ commitment to sustainability goes hand in hand with offering a more affordable option for larger groups, without compromising on quality.
Unlike traditional superyachts that can only accommodate up to 12 guests with a hefty price tag exceeding €250k per week, Goolets’ fleet can comfortably accommodate up to 39 guests and starts at just €40k per week, inclusive of food and fuel.
Keeping fuel consumption low is one way in which these costs are maintained.
As a general guide, Freedom, one of the yachts in the DS Fleet, consumes on average 100 litres per hour when traveling at 8.6 knots.
In comparison, a similarly sized yacht with a cruising speed of around 12 knots could consume approximately 100-200 litres of fuel per hour per engine, total 200-400 litres of fuel per hour for both engines.
If both vessels are travelling at 10 miles per hour, we need to calculate the fuel consumption for both Freedom and the similarly sized yacht at this speed.
Freedom consumes 100 litres per hour when traveling at 8.6 knots, as mentioned.
For the similarly sized yacht, which has a cruising speed of around 12 knots we can estimate its fuel consumption at this speed. Given that she consumes 400 litres of fuel per hour for both engines at that speed, we can assume an average fuel consumption of 300 litres per hour for both engines at 8.6 knots.
Thus, Freedom consumes approximately 1/3 of the fuel per hour compared to traditional superyachts, resulting in significantly lower pollution and greatly reduced environmental impact.
Not only do these uniquely designed yachts provide a luxurious onboard experience, privacy, exclusivity, and 5-star service, but they also offer an unparalleled opportunity to appreciate the stunning beauty of the Adriatic Sea in an environmentally friendly manner.
Due to high demand, Goolets‘ 2023 booking schedule is almost full, and the 2024 season is already seeing a significant increase in interest for these exceptional eco-friendly yachts. Interested parties are strongly advised to secure their preferred charter dates promptly to avoid disappointment.
