Boats

• 4 Ever Wild diesel catamaran is ultra-efficient, clean, quiet and will be able to convert over to an electric hybrid by 2020
• Goldwing: Arneson twin-disc propulsion technology reduces drag and noise, water muffler system – ultra quiet
• Diesel engines: Volvo Penta engines are designed for low noise and vibrations (great for the marine life and passengers) and meet European Union emission standards (the highest in the world)
• Gasoline Engines: Suzuki 4 stroke, are quieter than 2 stroke motors, burn less fuel and no oil
• Sound dampeners: all boats (where applicable) use Noxudol, a water based viscous elastic compound to dampen noises and vibrations
• Oils: regularly tested to extend life and responsibly recycled when oil is changed.
• The best available technology is used at all times

100% Carbon Neutral

Being Carbon Neutral means taking responsibility for the impact of our business on the environment.

MEASURE: First, we measure our carbon footprint by converting all of our activities such as electricity consumption, fuel use, waste and staff commuting to tonnes of CO2 equivalent.

REDUCE: We then work to reduce those emissions wherever possible – by optimizing the fuel efficiency of our boats, riding our bikes to work, purchasing local, using less energy and keeping waste out of the landfills.

OFFSET: Finally, we ‘neutralize’ the remaining emissions by purchasing verified Carbon Offsets with the Cowichan Energy Alternatives
