Solar-powered yachts are making waves in a traditionally diesel-chugging industry.
While you wouldn't list yachting as one of the most environmentally sensitive industries, that doesn't mean things can't change. With the era of electrification, many industries are turning their faces to the most obvious option that is glaring at us from above:Some yacht builders are making waves in the industry by designing zero-emission, solar-powered alternatives that outperform their diesel-chugging counterparts, and some are so quiet that you can hear the marine life swim.
Furthermore, when compared to the rumble of a diesel engine, which sends the smell of diesel fumes your way, getting to smell the ocean breeze without any disruptions is a huge plus., you can see one such example of a 100 percent solar-powered yacht in action. The video will walk you through Silent Yacht's model 55, with tours of its living quarters, its first silent voyage, and explain how a solar-powered yacht works.
