A modern company with centuries old roots

Yacht Eco is built on a simple principle:

Be a part of making the marine industry better.

There are inefficiencies everywhere and we are a part of the solution.

What’s with the name?

“Yacht”

At Yacht Eco, we value history and tradition. The modern word yacht may lack a strict technical definition today, but its origins trace back to the 16th century Dutch word jaght (later jacht), meaning “hunt.” Combined with schip (“ship”), the term jachtschip referred to “hunting ships”—fast sailing vessels used to pursue pirates along the shallow waters of the Dutch coast. Pretty cool indeed. For us, it’s not about luxury boats, but rather maritime history.

“Eco”

Eco can have different meanings and one of them is being short for economical meaning efficient. Efficiency is what we are about.

There it is, Yacht Eco.

A distinguishably unique and historically rooted company built for such an industry.
