Travel Fast and Luxuriously

Posted by EscapeDigitalMedia

In response to the customer’s inquiries, the Sunreef One Fifty was created. Designed by their in-house designer, the Sunreef has solar panels on the large surface area of the sweeping topside to supply power for the vessel. The Sunreef One Fifty uses uncut teak to enhance it’s futuristic elegance. Due to the vessel’s intention to break the tradition, the cockpit, sheltered by a sunproof, has been moved forward, and have sun beds, dining table, and wicker armchairs. The vessel also has a large salon with a lounge bar. And if a passenger wants a panoramic view, they can stay at the dining room.

Dutch claim world's first solar speedboat

Posted by EscapeDigitalMedia


Boats that run on solar power have been around for awhile, but they're usually reserved for touring watercraft and other conveyances designed for a leisurely pace. And that's precisely what makes the Czeers MK1 stand apart from the aquatic crowd.

This Dutch-made prototype is billed as "the world's first solar speedboat," which has reached speeds of up to 30 knots. The 10-meter boat was built by the Delft Technical University Solarboat Team, which rode it to first place in the 2006 Nuon Frisian Solar challenge, according to Gizmag.
