Help us protect our marine environments

We take our environmental impact seriously and continue to invest in safeguarding the seas, marine wildlife and habitats in and around our marinas.

Applauded in our Gold Anchor Assessment, who reported “Largs Yacht Haven breathes respect for nature … green in both the literal and figurative sense.”

From saltmarsh regeneration to improving our day-to-day footprint, we’re constantly working at both group and local levels to preserve and protect our marinas for generations to come.

Implementing many initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint, emissions, manage waste better, investing in new tech to promote sustainable choices.  Leading by example, in conjunction with British Marine, the RYA and The Green Blue to encourage clean, green practices across the group.

After all, we want your children to go on to enjoy our marinas, just like ours.

Find out what we’re doing to protect our seas, preserve our habitats, reduce our environmental impact and how you can get involved.

Future-proofing our marinas

It was clear that the team had been keeping an eye on my boat over the winter. The marina staff had kindly secured her more firmly and it is comforting to know that there is someone who cares on duty at all times.
