| Other Green Initiatives |
Rubicon has charcoal filtered Reverse Osmosis water which is high quality, and avoids all those plastic bottles.
Rubicon has re-usable Tervis tumblers (instead of bottles) with a different marine animal on each one so easily identifiable.
If you wish to "go green" and help the environment Rubicon is a good choice of charter yacht. No need for A/C as you can experience the breezes from the tradewinds as with open hatches and electric fans they are usually quite sufficient to keep you cool. |
