The world's first ocean-going superyacht powered entirely by solar power from SolarImpact Yacht AG

This incredible project has been under research for five years, but now SolarImpact Yacht AG ready to open their brainchild to the world. Technological miracle SolarImpact Yacht AG will be on display at Palais booth 089, where visitors to the boat show will be able to explore a 3D model of the superyacht for themselves.

More about the project:

78-foot (23.7-meter) vesseldesigned Marlena Ratajska, consumes energy from the sun using an optimized design SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull), in other words, the design of the catamaran.

Werner Vögeli, CEO of SolarImpact Yacht AG, commented:

"SolarImpact is synonymous with modern shipbuilding when it comes to fluid mechanics, high-efficiency energy technologies and environmental sustainability. Our concept avoids noise and CO2 emissions and is therefore an important step towards e-mobility in the maritime sector. "

In truth, this gives some hope that such projects are not a utopia, that they will not only develop more actively in the foreseeable future, but will also become an affordable alternative to motor yachts, the so-called "fuel eaters" that keep away from environmental problems. and do not even partially solve the issues of fuel economy, thereby causing colossal damage to the environment.

The concept combines first-class luxury features and amenities with state-of-the-art design and sustainability, and boasts unlimited cruising options. Just as its motors use solar energy, interior lighting, speakers and other parts also use this source. But for complete peace of mind, the diesel unit additionally provides full operational capabilities, including in adverse weather conditions. In addition to the fact that in terms of energy supply, the yacht is practically self-sufficient, she can reach impressive speeds of over 20 knots.
