12:30pm: Arrive at Pulau Hantu and start cleaning

– Both Jetties Kechil and Besar can be used to drop off and pick up if needed

– <10m Boats with the draft less than 0.8 with outboards can choose to go inside the Main Lagoon or Western Bay, also anchor outside if preferable but ensure depth appropriate

What is Boaters Against Plastic

Boaters Against Plastic is a community initiative to bring awareness and reflection to the global concern of plastic in our seas. As a boater, we see examples of this problem on the water every time we head out, as an individual we might not make a difference, but as a community, we can encourage behavior changes in everyone’s life to reduce their need for single-use plastic.

Being out on the water, hands dirty, picking up rubbish gives you a perspective of how this rubbish has come to be here and offers us a reflection on our own overuse of single-use plastics. We encourage anyone on the water to join the fight against plastic, whether you are a private boater, on charter, or even kayaking, you can make a small difference that can positively affect someone else behavior.

We hope to continue to organize private boat island clean-ups because boaters against plastic with the help of the community, we are also happy to support any other #boatersagainstplastic initiatives from the industry and community.
