Expedition Zero launches seed funding to build the future of sustainable ocean exploration

Expedition Zero, a pioneer in sustainable exploration sailing, has officially opened its seed funding round, seeking visionary investors who are eager to be part of an innovative and impactful project.

Focused on designing and building the world’s first net-zero adventure yachts, Expedition Zero is on a mission to redefine ocean voyages with minimal environmental impact, paving the way for sustainable experiential sailing.


This funding opportunity invites individuals who share a passion for innovation, sustainability and ocean preservation to become Ambassadors of Net-Zero Yachting. As Ambassadors, they will not only support the creation of a fleet of groundbreaking yachts, but also be immersed in the development journey from start to finish. Being part of this forward-thinking project directly contributes to a legacy that will shape the future of yachting and protect our oceans for generations to come.


Expedition Zero’s approach ensures Ambassadors are fully involved at every stage of the project, from following the yacht’s construction at the shipyard to being present for the launch of the first vessel. Far more than an investment; this is a unique chance to belong to a revolutionary movement in environmentally-friendly sailing.


"We are building something far beyond a yacht," says Andrew Cowen, founder of Expedition Zero. "Our Ambassadors will help craft a new era of exploration that leaves no trace, championing a future where adventure sailing takes us to the farthest reaches of the world without harming the planet."


In collaboration with experienced builders Innovation Yachts, the net-zero vessels will be built using proven sustainable, recyclable materials and powered entirely by renewable energy, including solar, wind, and hydropower. These yachts, designed for both eco-conscious adventurers and commercial operators, will deliver high performance with minimal environmental impact, redefining what it means to sail sustainably.


Saker Films and BAFTA award-winning explorer Steve Backshall, known for his powerful natural world documentaries, plan to work in partnership with Expedition Zero, using their yachts in upcoming projects. Backshall has praised the vision of creating a boat capable of crossing the globe without harming the environment and their remarkable commitment to sustainability.


Expedition Zero’s seed funding round aims to raise £1 million by December 2024 to accelerate the development of its groundbreaking fleet. By becoming part of this epic plan, Ambassadors will not only invest in the latest technology but also play a key role in evolving an ethical future for adventure sailing.


This is a rare chance to be part of a mission that extends far beyond funding, allowing investors to play a pivotal role shaping the future of the marine industry whilst leaving a lasting ocean legacy for generations to come.
