Meet Barnie 🌱

Barnie is a sailing yacht captain and has spent years working in the industry, so he understands the world Growing Decks was built around first-hand.

He’s recently come on board to help us grow, make new connections and get more people in the industry talking about what we’re doing.

It’s really important to us that the people involved in Growing Decks actually understand yachting and the realities of the industry, rather than looking at it from the outside.

We’re really happy to have Barnie as part of the team and excited to see where we can take it together. 🌱

Growing Decks | Q3 Update

July to September has been a pretty exciting few months for Growing Decks. A lot of the things we’ve been working on behind the scenes have finally started happening for real.

We completed our first client carbon offsets, which was a huge milestone for us after all the work that went into getting everything set up properly.

We completed our first private aviation offset, taking another part of Growing Decks from an idea and offering into an actual completed client offset.

Through our carbon programme, more tonnes of CO₂ are now supporting fuel-efficient cookstoves in Malawi, with certificates, serial numbers and permanent cancellation records behind the offsets.

We started building our referral network, working with people within the industry who believe in what we’re doing and want to introduce Growing Decks to their own networks.

And we ended the quarter at the Monaco Yacht Show. We spent the week networking, meeting people across the yachting and private aviation industries, introducing Growing Decks and making some really exciting new connections. (apparently networking means I actually have to pitch 😂 I promise I am better at GD than I am at pitching it 😂)

There has been plenty happening behind the scenes too. certificates, client hampers, website work, emails, new ideas and lots of learning as we go 😂 A few photos from the last couple weeks because apparently building a business also involves sticking logos on everything that has a surface, running around Antibes in Growing Decks shirts and handing out as many cards as we possibly can 🤔

We’re still at the beginning, the last few months was a big one for us because we started seeing the things we’ve been building actually being used by clients.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, trusted us with their offset, shared Growing Decks or introduced us to someone. 💚

Now onto Q4. 🌱

Meet Michael 🌱

Michael is one of the co-founders of Growing Decks, and his involvement started in probably the most us way possible… over a few glasses of w**e in Amsterdam. 😂🍷

We were chatting about Growing Decks and all the ideas we had for it, and at some point we basically just asked Michael if he wanted to join us.

Michael is a trained Industrial Mechanic and did his apprenticeship at Abeking & Rasmussen, before going on to get his Bachelor’s in Engineering & Project Management. He then worked his way up through yachting to become a Y1 Engineer.

There have definitely been a few more glasses of w**e and a lot more ideas since Amsterdam. 🍷🌱

Another 262 tonnes of CO₂ accounted for. ✈️🌱

A private aviation client has chosen to offset a full year of flying - 150 flight hours through Growing Decks.

262 tCO₂. One year of flying. Accounted for.

A pretty exciting milestone for Growing Decks. 💚

Another 4 tonnes of CO₂ offset 🌱

A huge thank you to Voyage Creatives for getting behind Growing Decks and choosing to offset with us.

It means a lot to have another business putting their impact into action, especially one that’s been so supportive of what we’re building.

A journey worth remembering. An impact worth accounting for.

Following a recent trip, S/Y W Magic offset 10 tonnes of CO₂ through Growing Decks.

It’s a simple decision, but one we’d love to see become part of the normal rhythm of yachting: enjoy the season, understand the fuel used, calculate the impact and do something about it.

No complicated process. Just a conscious choice to take responsibility for the journey.

10 tonnes CO₂ offset.

Calculate your impact. Offset with confidence. Leave a lasting legacy.

What happens behind the scenes when you offset with Growing Decks?

We don’t simply calculate your emissions and send you a certificate.

The corresponding carbon units are formally cancelled, permanently removing them from circulation so they cannot be resold or claimed again. Each cancellation comes with its own serial numbers and official record.

Traceable. Documented. Done properly. ⛵️✈️

And the impact doesn’t end there. By offsetting with Growing Decks, you become part of a growing legacy of yacht owners, charter guests and private aviation clients choosing to take responsibility for the journeys they make, with the impact continuing long after the trip is over. 🌍

A summer spent sailing the Mediterranean, with the footprint of the journey accounted for too!🌊

S/Y W Magic used 3,950 litres of diesel during her trip, with 10 tonnes of CO₂e offset through Growing Decks.

A huge thank you to her owners for choosing to do this, and to the Captain for supporting Growing Decks from the beginning.

This is exactly why we started, to give yachts a simple way to take responsibility for the impact of the incredible places we are lucky enough to enjoy.

One yacht, one journey, one step in the right direction. 🌱
