What We Do On Charter:
- Use biodegradable soaps and non-toxic cleaning products
- Search for less toxic wood stain products and a vegetable based steering fluid
- Recycle all aluminum, glass, and plastic
- Serve filtered water in glassware rather than individual water bottles
- Offer organic lemonade as an alternative to sodas
- Prepare meals on wooden platters rather than in throwaway plastic containers
- Use recycled and biodegradable garbage bags, recycled toilet paper, and recycled paper towels
In Office/ Off-site:
- Use the highest content post-consumer waste recycled paper products available (paper, envelopes, file folders, files, binders)
- Use biodegradable, phosphate-free detergent to wash towels
- Use a solar hot water heating system (and wash towels mid-day to use solar heated water)
- Contribute to NRDC to help protect whales and dolphins
- Our chef creates his menus as much as possible from produce he buys directly from island farmers and from items that are made locally. He only prepares fish caught locally using sustainable methods. We do not serve any fish caught using long line fishing practices or by way of industrial fishing vessels.
