Why is sustainability important to SETAG?

The yachting industry is under increasing pressure to reduce its environmental impact and it is imperative that we work together to implement sustainable solutions.

We’re committed to reducing our environmental impact to support the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity on our planet. We’re generating positive change by building responsible and sustainable methods into every stage of our refits – and of course, the simple act of refitting an existing yacht is the ultimate in upcycling.

With SETAG, there’s no need to compromise the luxury finish of your yacht to protect our planet.

Sustainable Design

Finding natural alternatives that don’t compromise on comfort or style.

Reducing toxins without downgrading on comfort is key for Sarah Luck, our Design Director, who is an expert in sustainable interior design solutions. 

‘I’m a big believer in zero or minimal toxins in an environment. The foam in chairs, sofas and cushions breaks down as it ages and deteriorates, releasing dust foam particles into the air. These particles are toxic and we’re breathing them in, so that’s a problem we need to eliminate.’’

Recycled Materials

We’re working with Enkev, who have a vast catalogue of natural, recyclable fibres, to recreate similar or higher comfort levels to conventional foam methods. Materials such as Cocolok, a coconut fibre wrapped in a natural latex create a comfortable, bouncy feel that offers a luxurious alternative to foam.

Our mattresses are made from British wool, which uses less energy to produce than artificial fibre mattresses. They are also recyclable at end of life and the keratin in the fibres makes them naturally fire retardant.

These natural alternatives don’t compromise on luxury and our expert team will tailor them to your preference, providing a custom product that is completely natural and minimises the contamination of our environment.

OUR MATERIALS

Creating Sustainable Supply Chains

Working with suppliers who champion ethical and eco-friendly values enables us to share ideas, build initiatives and reimagine concepts for the future.

By challenging how parts are manufactured, the materials we use, the labour we employ and the way we transport goods, we are leading the way to building a sustainable supply chain.

“It is our responsibility to act now to provide a greener future for our children.  SETAG and its supply chain will ensure they play their part in this global challenge.” – Laura Prynn, Supply Chain Director.

Looking Towards a Greener Future

Yachting life is built around enjoying the beauty of nature, making it vital to protect our environment and teach future generations to do the same.

SETAG takes upcycling to a whole new level by giving second-hand yachts a brand new lease of life, providing an economic alternative to buying new, without compromising on design or luxury.

Brilliant concept...new boat look and feel at pre-owned prices - by the industry experts. Recycling at its best!
Briony Newington - Founding Partner, Fairline Yachts.
The great thing is, none of this is off the shelf - I love this boat and now she’s got her frock on...this is the best money I've spent.
Delighted SETAG customer - Princess 61 owner
If you want to redefine, refit and remaster your boat who better to do it than the people who designed it in the first place? "What a fantastic idea!"
Miles Morehouse – Marketing Director, Fairline
We cannot recommend the SETAG team highly enough. If you love your current boat, then for a fraction of the cost to change it, have it SETAG’d. The SY branding certainly helped us obtain a premium price. We got what we paid for her in 2017 plus what we spent with you!
Delighted SETAG customer - Targa 50GT owner
I have worked with Chris for over 30 years and I’m pleased to see him develop his own brand - along with likeminded people with industry-leading expertise. The future is bright for Setag Yachts and pre-owned yacht owners, who can now refurbish their vessels to today’s - or even tomorrow's standards.
David King - Founder, Princess Yachts.
That has been one of the key selling points for us – having that personalised service and having a boat that is unique to us – is standout in its own right. We are pretty blown away…very very pleased. I think it’s fabulous…it has transformed the boat.
Delighted SETAG customer - Targa 47 owner
The perfect way to open up a new market: the "true reflection of luxury". Setag gets it: simplicity and personalisation are key – with the depth of knowledge to deliver.
James Barke – Managing Director of Boats.co.uk
Setag are probably the only company who can carry out all the tasks as a ‘one stop shop’. Other yards were reluctant to price work and needed to subcontract many tasks meaning higher costs and longer lead times. If you are in any doubt speak to Chris and his team, they know boats like no one else.
Delighted SETAG customer - Princess 460 Owner
We have been waiting for this quality of service: a comprehensive, professional refit that we can rely on – because of the pedigree of its staff, with over 200 years' experience in our market.
