Mobilising the international yachting community to protect the ocean.

 

Life as we know it depends on the protection of the ocean’s intricate and vulnerable ecosystems.

What is the Blue Marine Yacht Club?

Blue Marine Yacht Club (BMYC) was launched in 2012 by Prince Albert II of Monaco, its Founding Patron, and has at its heart the health of the ocean. By putting the superyacht community on the front line of marine conservation, the BMYC mobilises an industry that loves and relies on the ocean, one that can direct major resources into tackling the problems the ocean faces and help to slow climate change.

Members play an active role in ensuring that our ocean remains a resource to be enjoyed by future generations, lending their support not just with financial donations, but with their influence, connections, and expertise. This enables Blue Marine to unlock new project areas, increase global marine protection and restore vital sea habitats.

The Club has attracted influential supporters from the yachting world including: Ernesto and Kirsty Bertarelli, Sir Charles Dunstone, Peter Lürssen, Winch Design, Imperial Yachts, Benetti, Feadship, Princess Zahra Aga Khan, Matthew Freud, and Simon Le Bon among others.

To join the BMYC is to team up with a committed group of people who have a unique ability to influence the way the ocean is managed for years to come.

What does it mean to be a BMYC Member?

The BMYC is among the most exclusive clubs in the world, one in which every single member has demonstrated a deep and lasting commitment to protecting the ocean.

It is unique among yacht clubs in that it has no boathouse, no slipway and no home harbour. Its home is wherever its members’ sail.

Joining the Club is an elite statement of intent by a group of people who have a unique ability to influence the way the ocean is treated for years to come.

By becoming a member of the BMYC, by providing money, influence and expertise, you join a movement that is bringing about real impact and change and in turn leaving a legacy for the world and future generations to come.

 

“I love being a member because it’s the only yacht club that enables you to turn the tide!”

Peter Lürssen, CEO of Lürssen Yachts, 3-star BMYC member.

 

 

BMYC Membership

Members come from all corners of the yachting community, each committing to the active support of Blue Marine. Support is delivered through three tiers of annual yacht club membership donations, which go directly to support Blue Marine’s mission and global portfolio of projects.

Each level of support is denoted by beautiful and distinctive burgee exclusively designed by Ralph Lauren, which indicates your commitment to the BMYC and the ocean.

The burgees are emblazoned with one, two or three gold stars to indicate the level of support given by the member and their commitment to the ocean.

Only members of the BMYC have the right to fly the burgee which gives its owners a distinct yet understated profile in the yachting world as active protectors of the ocean.

 

“All who look to the ocean for recreation and adventure also owe it to themselves to support Blue Marine’s cause. The yachting community should be proud to fly the Blue Marine Yacht Club ensign as a symbol of our collective commitment to conserving the world’s oceans.”

The late Ed Dubois, April 1952 – March 2016, British Yacht Designer, Founding BMYC member.

Testimionals

It is through strong institutional partnerships, such as the one between my Foundation and the Blue Marine Foundation that we can fight against climate change and manage our natural resources responsibly.

H.S.H Prince Albert II of Monaco BYMC Founding Patron

My family’s livelihood has been built around the oceans for generations. I can’t think of anything more important than keeping them alive and beautiful for generations to come. I support Blue Marine Foundation because they are an effective, hardworking organisation who get the job done. The BMYC allows people with power and influence to use this collectively to reverse the ocean’s crisis. I love being a member because it’s the only yacht club that enables you to turn the tide!

Peter Lürssen CEO of Lürssen Yachts, 3 star BMYC member

I am proud on becoming a new three-star BMYC member. It is critical that we come together — and gratifying to know my donations to Blue Marine are used so efficiently in building a better future for our oceans.

David and Melissa Macneil Fort Lauderdale, USA, 3-Star Members and Winners of the Original Blue Marine Moke

I’ve covered many miles under sail, and I’m increasingly aware how lucky I have been to enjoy the sea. It is vital that the world’s oceans are in a fit state not only to be enjoyed by yachtsmen, but to support the species that live there. That’s why I’ve become a BMYC member, supporting Blue Marine’s invaluable work to improve and maintain our oceans.

Nick Edmiston Chairman Edmiston Yachts, 1-Star Member

At sea, ship-owners experience first-hand the importance of preserving this vulnerable ecosystem. As a shipyard we deal every day with the importance of the oceans. We are delighted to be a new member of the BMYC and support Blue Marine’s mission.

Philipp Maracke CEO Nobiskrug, 3-Star Member

Blue Marine impacts and inspires in all the incredible work they do, and it is a privilege for our family to support their progress via the Blue Marine Yacht Club. Protecting and restoring life in the oceans is now crucial – and we want to help in any way we can.
