SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
Aware of our environment, we take action every day to develop more responsible maritime tourism.
OUR ENVIRONMENTAL APPROACH
Our commitment goes beyond the transport of passengers by sea and the preservation of the environment remains at the heart of our concerns.
We recognize our responsibility as a maritime player and have developed an environmental policy integrating planet-friendly practices into all facets of our activities, from the design of our ships to our onshore operations.
Our environmental actions are constantly evolving and strengthening over time. Our vision is to offer a responsible maritime experience, in harmony with the surrounding marine environment, while minimizing our environmental footprint.

RESPONSIBLE VESSELS & CLEAN NAVIGATION
By 2025, AMC Cape Grace will become the only national fleet to operate five 100% hybrid vessels , including the eco-friendly Samba with its triple propulsion system (green sailing). This model drastically reduces greenhouse gas emissions and optimizes energy efficiency, reinforcing our pioneering role in sustainable sailing. We prioritize sailing on all our excursions.
Our ships benefit from the latest innovations in construction and maritime standards, including compliance with the Marpol convention .
• Our DAY 1® catamarans, exceptionally lightweight thanks to the use of carbon composites, are optimized to require minimal power for propulsion. Their low-displacement engines, with a power output of 135hp, emit up to 10 times less CO2 than traditionally powered vessels.
Thanks to this fleet, we conscientiously minimize our environmental impact and carbon footprint while offering exceptional nautical experiences.
CONTROLLED FUEL CONSUMPTION
We are continuing our efforts for responsible energy management, achieving a consumption of 0.8 liters of diesel per passenger in 2025 , a reduction of 18% compared to 2024, thanks to the integration of increasingly efficient technological solutions.
CONVOY LIMITATIONS
Thanks to intelligent sectoring, each vessel operates within a 40-nautical-mile radius of its home port, thus reducing travel and its environmental impact. This organization also promotes the well-being and comfort of the seafaring crews, with optimized rest periods and improved working conditions on board.

RESPECT FOR THE SITES VISITED
AMC Cape Grace is committed to preserving all visited sites by applying strict protocols during its sea excursions, ensuring navigation that respects marine and coastal ecosystems.
We have obtained official approval to navigate in the Calanques National Park , attesting to our compliance with the most demanding environmental standards.
Our cruises also serve the Port-Cros National Park , with an eco-responsible approach aimed at minimizing human impact on these protected natural areas.
This commitment applies to all our destinations, in order to sustainably preserve the beauty and biodiversity of the Mediterranean coastline.
ZERO SINGLE-USE PLASTIC
All our vessels are completely free of single-use plastics, reinforcing our waste reduction policy and our contribution to ocean conservation. In 2025, we invested in installing eco-friendly beverage fountains from the local brand O Chwette on board each hybrid catamaran.
COMMITTED PARTNERSHIPS
AMC Cape Grace supports local and regional initiatives in favor of the environment and collaborates with associations such as France Nature Environnement PACA to strengthen the impact of its actions in favor of biodiversity and the Mediterranean coastline.

ECO-FRIENDLY ACTIONS AT SEA & ON LAND
Preserving the quality of our sites, marine fauna, and flora is our top priority. Over the years, we have implemented simple and practical eco-friendly practices. At sea and on land, our trained teams educate and raise awareness among our passengers about environmental issues, thus promoting responsible behavior.
• For the maintenance of our ships and infrastructure, we favour the use of labelled eco-products and dry cleaning methods.
• We maximize the use of reusable materials on board and encourage systematic recycling whenever possible. Our commitment is also demonstrated by collecting large pieces of waste or objects encountered during our sea trips, reinforcing our responsibility towards marine ecosystems.
• Our vision is very clear: to achieve a zero-waste approach at sea. This approach also extends to land, with ecological initiatives implemented to reduce waste production, progressively eliminate single-use plastics, and actively promote recycling.
CONTINUING EDUCATION
Our teams receive regular training in eco-friendly practices , sustainable resource management, and environmentally responsible marine protocols. Furthermore, passenger safety remains a top priority, with regular safety drills, medical training, and enhanced protocols to handle any emergency situation.
AWARENESS
Environmental awareness is a powerful tool for driving change. On board our ships, our crew is committed to educating passengers about environmental issues, encouraging respectful behavior towards marine biodiversity.

SUPPORT FOR THE LOCAL ECONOMY
& RESPONSIBLE PURCHASES
Our commitment to the local economy is reflected in our choice of service providers and partners, most of whom are located near our business areas or in France.
Whether it is for shipbuilding (La Rochelle shipyard), communication services, event services, maintenance, printing…We make the deliberate choice to support local producers, thus promoting a circular economy and reducing our ecological footprint.
Our responsible purchasing policy prioritizes environmentally friendly products and services. We opt for durable, recyclable products from ethical sources, aligning our sourcing choices with our commitment to sustainability.
TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION
The company invests in research and development of innovative technologies aimed at further reducing its environmental impact. This includes exploring even greener propulsion systems, integrating advanced energy-saving technologies, and adopting innovative solutions for onboard waste management.
BUREAU VERITAS CERTIFICATION
Transparency and safety guide our processes. Every year, all our vessels undergo a thorough inspection by Bureau Veritas, the French classification society, as well as by the ANFR (French National Frequency Agency) and the Maritime Affairs authorities. These checks attest to our compliance with the most stringent safety and environmental standards.
