Sailing Operators want to take clients on epic sailing adventures, not crawl around doing maintenance, worrying what might break next. Expedition Zero will give them flexible access to beautiful, modern ultra-low emission vessels that can go anywhere, without compromise.

Our contribution to the planet
Reduce
Ultra low environmental impact construction materials throughout, reducing our CO2 footprint compared to traditional materials used in yacht construction.
Reuse
Upcycling of existing hulls, There are an estimated 24,000 abandoned yachts in Europe alone, unloved and with no “end of life” options except landfill. We will breath new life into these vessels, giving them new purpose.
Replace
Zero fossil fuel consumption, all electric propulsion and services. All energy derived from the Sun, Wind and Movement through the water.
Recycle
All materials used can be recycled at end of life.
