Cutting Edge Technology Unveiled in Monte Carlo

Racing is as much a part of Monaco as tennis is a part of Wimbledon. Earlier this year, thousands of spectators watched as Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton furthered Mercedes domination at the Monaco Grand Prix in a season which has seen a huge step forward in the engineering in the cars and a move to hybrid engines. The racing in Monaco is far from over however and the boating world is certainly not being left behind in terms of innovation as the Solar1 cup came to Monte Carlo.

29 teams from 11 different countries arrived with their entirely solar powered boats for a weekend of racing. The President of Solar1, Sergei Dobroserdov, sees Solar1, “As a great opportunity to animate and excite a new generation.” The likes of Mangusta are as popular as ever in the yachting industry but, just as the Toyota Prius has come to rival V8 powered sports cars, so we might anticipate a new range of luxury yachts in the near future.

For those of you who are worried that a new era of fuel efficient yachts will come at the expense of design, luxury and comfort, look no further than M OCEAN. She showcases fine Italian design with every conceivable comfort whilst 8 solar panels power all of the electrics on board and the hybrid engine allows her to travel up to 8 knots in total silence.

On board, the stunning aft deck is vast and merges seamlessly with an elegant and airy, open-plan salon. Those looking to work on their tan can happily spent hours on large sun pads on the flydeck or soaking in the jacuzzi on the forward main deck.

The Brand New Must-Have Eco-Friendly Yachts

Admiral Shipyards have announced yet another order for a construction of their new eco-friendly aluminium Impero range. Ranging from 40 metres up to a awe-inspiring 55 metres, the futuristic shipyard have orders for 4 super yachts in this range.

ADMIRAL

The latest order from this range is the 40 metre model, with eco-credentials to impress anyone green-inclined. She has a revolutionary Siemens hybrid engine, this allows the yacht to cruise completely silently at 10 knots. As well as this she will consume just 60 litres of fuel per hour, giving her enough range to cross the Atlantic Ocean twice! With combined engine power, she achieves the very respectable speed of 20 knots, doing so as efficiently and silently as possible.

MOCEAN

Completion of Admiral’s range is expected towards the end of 2015, but if you can’t wait that long for your eco-yacht charter we have just the boat for you!
