We are committed to a constant journey of improvement – evolving our business and implementing changes that lessen our environmental impact.
Because all rivers lead to the ocean, we have a responsibility to protect and enhance the biodiversity on land and in the Thames.
By creating a comprehensive environmental policy and caring for and preserving the ecosystems around us, we can ensure that we are a part of the solution, not the problem.
To prevent harmful waste from entering the Thames.
To keep our marina and our stretch of the river clean.
To limit landfill through our waste management system.
To take good care of our land and water environments.

We’ve committed to the UK Government and UN-backed SME Climate Hub initiatives to cut our carbon emissions in half by 2030, and to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Our progress will be updated annually so you can see our development first-hand.
We aim to recycle and reuse wherever possible, reducing the amount of materials and waste going to landfill. We use disposal stations for solid rubbish as well as paint, oil and chemical waste, and these are readily available to mooring holders.
We strive to move away from products that are not environmentally friendly. Through extensive testing, we know the best biodegradable and non-toxic products for boats. We have also replaced antifoul paints with ultrasonic systems and use recycled plastic dock lines.
As electric vehicles become more prevalent, we’ve installed EV chargers in our marina and are planning to expand our charging network as demand increases. We encourage the use of EV chargers amongst visitors and mooring holders.
We’ve already held community clean-up events working with locals, organisations and the wider community to encourage regular clean-ups along the River Thames. Join us on one of our upcoming community clean-up days!

Below you will find some easy-to-follow guides on how to be an eco-conscious boater. Produced by The Green Blue to promote responsible boating, they focus on how to maintain, equip and operate your boat in a planet-friendly manner.
“It's rare to find a yacht broker that really delivers. I've just sold my boat through Val Wyatt and they far exceeded my expectations. I delivered the boat on a trailer to them one morning and by the time I had returned home that evening the boat had been prepared, launched, photographed, put back in undercover storage and listed on the website. Throughout the sales process they always kept me fully informed and were quite happy to wait until they felt they had the right offer. Highly recommended.”
