Greta Thunberg chose to sail rather than fly to the UN Climate conference in Aug 2019 in New York, for environmental considerations!

She sailed in a 60 foot racing yacht, the Malizia II that cost Euro 4 million + to build.

The yacht was captained by renowned yachtsman Boris Herrmann and Pierre Casiraghi, the son of Monaco's Princess Caroline.

BMW and Swiss bank EFG were sponsors of the Malizia II which was owned by German property tycoon Gerhard Senft, who bought it from Swiss-French finance group Edmond de Rothschild.

Malizia II was previously named Edmond de Rothschild!
