The Best Eco-Friendly Yachts of the 21st Century

There are many options for enjoying these beasts of the ocean in a more responsible way.

By Elite Traveler

As yachts get larger in size, they generally also increase in fuel capacity and consumption, running costs and also environmental impact. However, in recent years, there has been a change in the world of superyachts. Today, we are witnessing more and more yachts take steps towards efficiency, reducing fuel usage and innovating when it comes to improving sustainability credentials.

Much like aviation, bio and sustainable fuels are becoming far more accessible and prevalent in yachting. There has also been an uptick in the use of hybrid propulsion — the use of a combination of different energy sources — most commonly this results in a combination of both diesel and battery power. There has also been a renaissance of the sail, with some owners looking to harness the power of the wind to aid their transportation. It also undeniably looks superb.  

As many yacht owners and potential buyers begin to focus more on the sustainability of these vessels, yacht builders are taking note. Here, Elite Traveler takes a closer look at some of the most impressive eco-friendly yachts to have hit the water during the last two decades. We will also be taking a quick look at what’s on the horizon.

Launched by Dutch yard Royal Huisman in 2008, 190-ft ketch Ethereal was a trendsetter that paved the way for future ‘eco’ superyachts. The first superyacht with a true hybrid system on board, she was the dream of owners Bill and Shannon Joy who set out to challenge the norm of yacht building. Together with the shipyard, naval architect Ron Holland and exterior/interior designer Pieter Beeldsnijder, the Joys worked to create a yacht that would have the lowest possible impact on the planet. The result was a technologically advanced design that delivered energy efficiency in a sleek and high-performance package.

Thanks to a twin hybrid electro-mechanical propulsion system, which recharges her battery bank, Ethereal can operate for long periods of time under the quiet stored power of her own resources. Every detail of Ethereal was examined for ways to reduce energy demands—from lighting to air-conditioning—and she delivers an impressively efficient performance when underway. Her open interior, with a warm and welcoming feel, invites guests in— fittingly, as her entire layout was designed to maximize spaces and allow those on board to spend quality time together. Since her launch Ethereal has traveled the world, treading lightly wherever she goes.

Black pearl.

At 350 ft, Black Pearl is the largest sailing superyacht in the world. She is certainly not inconspicuous but, despite her size, she is extremely eco-friendly. Delivered by Oceanco in 2016, Black Pearl is said to have the capability to cross the Atlantic using zero fossil fuel. Plans for undertaking this particular feat were underway when Covid-19 hit and delayed this attempt, but her captain, Chris Gartner, says that the owner and the Black Pearl’s team are committed to going ahead with that as soon as possible.

Black Pearl incorporates features that ensure a lower environmental impact: propellers that can generate electricity when operating in ‘regeneration mode’ and, one of her most impressive features, her sails also double as a source of power. Measuring an incredible 31,215 sq ft, Black Pearl’s sails have built-in solar panels that create electricity that is then stored so it can be put to use elsewhere as needed. The DynaRig sails also allow the yacht to be easily operated under sail power as much as possible, greatly reducing the need for fuel.

Savannah , built by Dutch shipyard Feadship and hailed as the first hybrid motoryacht at her 2015 launch, is also the world’s largest metallic-painted floating object. This beautiful yacht has collected many awards, including the coveted Motor Yacht of the Year at the 2016 World Superyacht Awards. Her ‘Breathe’ propulsion system delivers 30% fuel-saving economies, and she can cruise under diesel-electric or simply electric battery power.

Savannah set a precedent for other eco-friendly projects from Feadship, including the ultra-sustainable 308-ft Viva (Hull 817), which has made waves since her February 2021 launch. As attractive as she is innovative, her elegant, four-deck floating superstructure pairs world-class technology with timeless style; features include the ‘Nemo Lounge,’ where you can peek below the waves and marvel at passing sea life from the comfort of the yacht. The main deck has a 30-ft pool and two main salons that are divided by a video wall, and the owner’s stateroom boasts a skylight above the master bed for admiring the starscape above.

The impressive 262-ft Artefact , designed by Gregory C Marshall and delivered by Nobiskrug Yachts in 2020, is a head-turner for more than one reason. Her striking exterior, which makes clever use of glass, is the most obvious, but her eco-credentials are her biggest asset. Built for visionary owners who specifically requested a yacht with a reduced environmental impact, Artefact’s many solutions for this brief include 248 ft of solar panels and a battery storage system that allows the yacht to operate without its main engines for extended periods.

[See also: Artefact: The Eco Superyacht that Changed the Game]

Added to that is her dynamic positioning system and Azipod propulsion system – these allow Artefact to easily hold her position without needing to use her anchors and reduce her emissions while also upping her efficiency. In fact, she was one of the very first superyachts built to meet IMO Tier III emissions regulations. For those wishing to enjoy pristine surroundings without interruption, Artefact is also capable of silent operations. This ‘greener’ superyacht certainly doesn’t compromise on comfort and on her launch was the biggest volume yacht of her size in the world. She perfectly pairs form and function… in other words, this award-winning yacht is the full package.

Sailing Yachts

Originally launched in 1993, the 143-ft Juliet was reborn in 2021 after an extensive “go greener” refit at her original build yard, Royal Huisman. Newly transformed into a hybrid yacht, Juliet now bears technologies that will future-proof her for years to come. Her new hybrid system offers numerous benefits including silent operations, zero emissions, peak-shaving, shaft-generated power under sail and reduced fuel consumption. A brand-new gearbox, aligned with a sophisticated new electric motor/generator, will allow electric propulsion that is powered by either the main engine or alternatively the battery pack or generator. Meanwhile, a battery bank will allow Juliet to operate in ‘silent ship’ mode.

When stretching her legs under sail, the rotation of the propeller will generate electric power. When at anchor she can run on battery power so guests can relax without any noise pollution that might detract from their surroundings. With nearly a quarter a million miles logged since her launch, Juliet is now ready for the next quarter million miles to come.

Swan 88 Hybrid

Finnish builders Nautor’s Swan has joined the trend for hybrid yachts with its Swan 88 Hybrid model, which has a hybrid-electric propulsion system that marks a new era for the yard’s Maxi range. This new direction for the yard includes making greater use of eco-friendly materials in its designs. The Swan 88 Hybrid is the yard’s first attempt at a hybrid yacht, and the design has already borne fruit – in May 2021 it announced it had already sold the first hull.

Described by Nautor’s Swan as a “dual soul of racer and cruiser,” the Swan 88 Hybrid pairs comfort and performance and is an excellent ‘starter size’ superyacht that is spacious but manageable. The minimalist exterior design by German Frers is complemented by “a comfortable, harmonious and magical” interior by Misa Poggi. An easy-handle sail plan makes use of the brand’s long experience in ocean racing, delivering “efficient, uncomplicated and easily managed sailing”. The layout and design has been tailored to maximize guest comfort on longer trips – this first model will be able to travel the world with a lighter footprint thanks to her eco credentials.

Sailing purists the world over treasure the sight of a J Class yacht. Original J Class yachts raced in the 1930s under the Universal Rule, in events including the America’s Cup. There have been several replica J Class yachts built in modern times as well. Elegant Rainbow is one such replica and was built in Holland in 2012 by Holland Jachtbouw. Her design was based on the original Rainbow , which won the America’s Cup in 1934, and it paired the best of classic yacht design with all the necessary modern technologies and comforts.

Like many other eco-friendly sailing yachts, Rainbow is powered by a hybrid propulsion system – in fact, she was the first J Class to boast this capability. This means a welcome 30% reduction in fuel usage, as well as the option of silent operations when underway. As beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, Rainbow ’s luxurious interior makes use of elegant mahogany woods, sophisticated styling and plenty of space to enjoy.

Built by Finnish firm Baltic Yachts in 2019, the 142-ft Canova takes the title of being the yard’s very first zero emissions yacht over 100 ft. This was a mandate of her owner, who wanted his long-distance cruising yacht to be as green as possible. Canova more than met the mark and carries an impressive line-up of modern technologies including a power regeneration system that, in theory, allows a never-ending supply for the yacht to make use of. An added first is that Canova is the first superyacht to be fitted with a transverse Dynamic Stability System foil, which delivers unprecedented comfort levels for a sailing yacht by reducing heel and motion.

Guests can relax on board Canova and enjoy nine hours of ‘silent’ mode made possible by an electric propulsion system that also charges the on-board battery bank. An easy-to-handle, yet powerful, sail plan ensures hoisting the sails is a breeze, meaning Canova can make the most of her sailing prowess (again cutting down on engine use). Large spaces and good indoor/outdoor flow make her a home away from home, with communal spaces including the large, sheltered cockpit with drop down glass sides. Canova was built to take her owner and guests around the world and will be venturing to a wide variety of destinations over the coming years.

The Arksen 85 — dubbed Project Ocean — the first self-proclaimed “ultimate marine exploration vessel” to be built by Arksen Yachts. Created to travel the world, with a stable, hardy design, the Arksen 85 is intended to explore with low environmental impact. She’s built in an eco-friendly way, with her hull and superstructure made from low-carbon, recycled aluminum. A range of up to 7,000 nm will give her plenty of scope for adventures, and her eco credentials include a solar array option for zero-carbon electrical power and a hybrid propulsion system.

Buying an Arksen yacht offers several bolt-ons such as membership in the Arksen Explorers’ Club, which helps owners make the most of their vessels, and an invitation to join the Arksen Foundation, where owners are invited to pledge 10% of their vessels’ sea time to ocean-exploration projects. The Arksen 85 offers luxurious comfort and large onboard spaces. This first build will include a full beam master suite, media room and children’s cabin. She is due to launch in 2022, and a large portion of her time at sea has already been committed to the Arksen Foundation.

Project AQUA

Project AQUA made headlines around the world when rumors started that she was being built for Bill Gates. This speculation was later dispelled but, in the process, the world got a good look at the 367-ft vessel and so too a glimpse of what the future of yacht design might look like. The work of Lateral Naval Architects in collaboration with Sinot Yacht Design, hydrogen-powered Project AQUA represents how yachting might one day achieve zero carbon usage.

[See also: Hydrogen-Powered Yachts: What to Know]

“For Project AQUA we set ourselves an objective of using near-future technology,” explains Simon Brealey, principal mechanical engineer at Lateral. “Liquid hydrogen has the potential to be created from renewable sources via electrolysis and as such can be considered a zero carbon fuel with the only local emissions being water. Project AQUA demonstrates [that] the onboard technology to enable a zero carbon project is ready, and we hope that it acts to inspire superyacht owners, shipyards, the hydrogen infrastructure industry and the wider maritime industry.”

The Sinot team used “an integrated and highly poetic design approach” when creating her: Cascading exterior decks are paired with a minimalist Japanese beach-style interior that provides living spaces in perfect balance with the water on which the vessel sits.

Dutch yard Feadship now has a good number of eco yachts to its name, and 312-ft hybrid yacht Bliss is the most recent to have hit the water. Launched in May 2021, Bliss benefits from the very latest advances in technology with an all-new hybrid propulsion system. De Voogt Naval Architects were heavily involved in the design and engineering of the hybrid system, which will allow the yacht to sail in diesel-electric mode. In a win-win for comfort and for the world, “this package helps to protect the environment and provides premium comfort for all who step aboard,” says Feadship. Bliss also has Polar Code compliance – what better way to connect with the importance of protecting the health of our planet than by coming face to face with the icy majesty of the Polar regions?

Currently owned by founder of Snapchat, Evan Spiegal, Bliss features an exterior design by Jan Schaffers of Studio de Voogt and interior design by Remi Tessier. This team has created an elegant style that they describe as “natural and welcoming, inside and out.” Highlights include nine cabins, a gym and wellness space, a pool and a convertible helideck. Designed for family fun and to see the world this magnificent custom yacht is a timeless triumph.

Eco Explorer

A collaboration between Dutch yard Feadship and French design studio Merveille Yachting, the Eco Explorer concept is described by Feadship as “a genuinely eco-friendly superyacht.” The yacht combines all the best elements of motor and sail yachts in one efficient package. She features a mast system that has fully automated wings twice as powerful as a standard sailing yacht rig, while the use of sail power reduces fuel use as well.

Energy is also harnessed from a trio of onboard solutions including wind turbines, solar panels and underwater turbines. These, together with other reduction elements, add up to the use of an estimated 50-70% less fossil fuel, and more than three times the range of an equivalent boat. The 55-ft beam ensures plenty of space on board, with an inviting interior and vast beach club that includes a 49-ft swimming pool. The perfect yacht for seeing the world guilt-free, “the Eco Explorer is on the forefront of cutting-edge, environmentally friendly technology,” says Feadship.

A mighty 328-ft sailing yacht concept, Vento is the brainchild of Nuvolari-Lenard. First revealed in June 2021 at the Venice Boat Show, this behemoth was created by design duo Carlo Nuvolari and Dan Lenard to be a “manifesto for environmental protection” and a visual appeal to superyacht designers to create truly green yachts. This radical concept will use the wind as its main source of propulsion and its slipstream hull will ensure it moves efficiently through the water. Its Wing Sail sail plan is more efficient than traditional rigs, allowing for better performance. A diesel-electric system with variable speed generators and variable pitch propellors will allow operations to be adjusted to achieve maximum efficiency.

Nuvolari and Lenard both believe that it is not enough to design a yacht that is “greener,” and instead our entire mentalities and attitudes towards yacht design needs to shift. “ Vento speaks to a market sensitive to environmental issues, worried about the future of the marine ecosystem, which is ready to do its part,” they say. Vento is their testimony and, they believe, proof that a truly green yacht needn’t mean compromising on innovative designs and luxurious living.

Project Crystal

The size of the 308-ft Project Crystal is an eco yacht option for buyers who can’t let go of the idea of a very large yacht. She, like the rest on this list, has been designed in a way that will allow efficient operations and energy savings. “As with all our designs, the impact of a vessel on its context is crucial — environmental considerations extend from the controllable pitch propellers which maximize efficiency, through the hydrodynamic optimizations of the hull, hybrid power systems and glazing arrangements that minimize solar gain,” says Nick Stark, naval architect at Nick Stark Design.

Project Crystal is named for the distinctive crystalline lattice that forms a striking part of the exterior profile. Designed to be a sanctuary, Project Crystal is a safe and relaxing space that is both beautiful on board and from afar. “We wanted to create an aesthetic that is celebratory,” says Stark. “The lines flow up and across, both lifting our gaze and also guiding it to what is around us: the people, the community and the environment”. The design is able to achieve swift global navigation and she has been crafted with a relentless focus on hydrodynamic fundamentals – the sleek unadorned underwater lines tick the boxes for both fuel efficiency and superb seakeeping. Not to mention she looks pretty exceptional too.

Tillberg Design of Sweden (TDoS) revealed its interpretation of an eco superyacht, the 265-ft Aegir 2.0 . The design house describes it as “the sailing yacht with the lowest possible environmental footprint.” A big claim indeed. The design has a wind-electric propulsion system that recharges her batteries as she sails. This means her range is theoretically infinite – the world will be her oyster. A Dynarig sail plan will ensure excellent performance, while the trimaran hull delivers excellent seakeeping.

Her eco credentials do not mean a sacrifice on comfort as Aegir 2.0 has plenty of luxury features including a swimming pool, beach club space and spacious rooms. A minimalist Scandinavian style interior pairs a subtle color palette with natural materials, complemented by large windows that fill all spaces with light.

Lürssen’s fuel cell yacht

There is little public information available about an exciting new project from German yard Lürssen Yachts, but it certainly warrants a place in this list for the feat of being the yard’s first yacht with fuel cell technology. Now in build, the yacht has been commissioned by a forward thinking and technology driven owner. This project is huge news as it represents a big step towards an emission free Lürssen superyacht. Flanking the traditional generators, the fuel cell will offer many benefits including the ability to anchor for 15 days or cruise 1,000 miles at slow speed with no emissions.

Complementing this new build project, the yard has set up an Innovation Laboratory that will “simulate and test the integration and operation of a Marine Hybrid Fuel Cell System on board a yacht powered by methanol.” Lürssen is certainly looking to the future and has ambitious goals to lead the field in the construction of emission free yachts.

Sunreef Yachts has just started building what it’s claiming will be “the world’s most advanced sustainable luxury catamaran .”

The electric vessel, known as the Sunreef 80 Eco , blends the latest green technologies with the reliability of a day-sailer and the comfort of a superyacht. It was first unveiled last year as part of the Polish yard’s new Eco line that comprises a handful of vessels spanning from 40 to 100 feet.

Designed and engineered in-house, the 80-footer takes a holistic approach to eco cruising. It can harness and store renewable energy both above and below the waterline, which means it can sail silently sans emissions for days on end. In fact, the yard says it has infinite range.

Arguably the most innovative feature is the vessel’s solar skin. This photovoltaic system will see the world’s lightest solar cells integrated into the hull sides, superstructure, bimini and carbon mast. Covering a total surface of approximately 1,600 square feet, the skin will generate up to 34 kWp of clean energy that will be stored in custom-engineered lithium batteries. It also gives the multihull a cool, futuristic look.

The vessel’s solar skin can generate up to 34 kWp of clean energy.  Sunreef Yachts

When it comes to propulsion, the cat takes a multipronged approach. It can either run on its two, energy-efficient 180kW electric engines or the wind. While under sail, the vessel employs an advanced hydro generation system to actually recover energy from the propeller rotation. Together, the two propellers can generate more than 15 kWh while sailing around 7 knots. This energy is then used to power the engines and onboard appliances.

“The Sunreef 80 Eco is all about responsible sailing and relying on renewable energy,” Sunreef’s founder and president, Francis Lapp, said in a statement . “We are now pairing the industry’s most innovative solar power system with hydro generation.”

The vessel also sports a high-tech water management system, highly efficient air conditioning, wind generators and non-toxic bottom paints. As for décor, it’s fully customizable and showcases a range of ethically sourced sustainable materials and furnishings.

Intended for long offshore adventures, the Sunreef 80 Eco is expected to hit the water this summer.

A CHAT WITH THE CHAMPION: SUNREEF YACHTS & FERNANDO ALONSO

Two-time Formula One World Champion Fernando Alonso commissioned a custom 60 Sunreef Power Eco catamaran with Sunreef Yachts last September. Combining state-of-the-art electric propulsion and avant-gardist green tech, his yacht will be the first Eco edition of the 60 Sunreef Power.

Equipped with the shipyard’s composite-integrated photovoltaic system and the industry’s lightest batteries, the yacht will offer top energy-efficiency for an emission-free yachting experience. Today, Sunreef Yachts meets Fernando Alonso for an exclusive interview in which he reveals his boating plans and shares his vision of a perfect yacht.

A NEW YACHTING FORMULA

1. Why did you choose to build an all-electric yacht?

The world is moving in this direction. We are more aware and want more sustainability. We have seen important changes over the last years in global mobility, and to me it makes perfect sense to go for an electric catamaran. This type of vessel gives you a closer bond with the seas. The world is going electric and yachts should also follow.

2. Why did you choose to build your yacht with Sunreef Yachts?

It was a very easy choice. Sunreef Yachts is known for high quality and has earned a great reputation over the last two decades. I really wanted to build a catamaran, because I wanted to enjoy more space and all the other advantages that multihulls bring. At the same time, my vision was to build a luxury craft of the highest quality. Sunreef Yachts matched all my requirements in terms of space, catamaran expertise, lifestyle and luxury. It was a no-brainer for me.

3. Name 3 must-haves on your future yacht

The first would be a barbecue, which is a must for me. I really enjoy long evening barbecue parties with friends and family, so this is essential to me. I would also like to have a good sound system as music will be an important part of the lifestyle on board. Lastly, I will certainly have some water toys on board so that we can enjoy both relaxation on the sunpads and sports.

4. Where will you take your yacht?

I will be probably based in Monaco. I will cruise in the French Riviera, Corsica and Sardinia. Generally speaking, the south of France and Mediterranean will be my cruising area.

5. What do you expect from a yacht as an owner?

This will be my first yacht, so I don’t have anything specific in mind. I want the yacht to always be ready to go. Sometimes I will go out into the sea spontaneously, so I want to make sure the yacht is reliable. I want a yacht that I can trust. I know the technology on this electric yacht is complex but I can also see the amount of effort Sunreef Yachts is putting into this, so I feel very confident. I am looking forward to spending time on board.

6. What is your vision of a perfect day at sea?

My perfect day at sea would not start too early. It would be a day off, starting with breakfast on board with friends and family. This would be followed by swimming and some water sports. After lunch, we would all relax, talk and enjoy the sun. Dinner would be a barbecue that we would prepare and cook ourselves and enjoy together.

The Leviathan is the newest concept presented to the yacht industry. It is considered to be an “environmentally correct” luxury yacht as it emits absolutely no emissions due to the fact that it operates by the power of the sun and the wind.

The designer of this eco-friendly yacht is Adam Valmassoi from Detroit, MI. This particular individual believes in prioritizing motor yachts in such a way that the environment comes first. He has designed the Leviathan to be completely self-sufficient. It is equipped with two engines that have jet pumps on them that will allow them to utilize the power that is generated by the turbines that are built into the superstructure, as well as the solar panels on the water vessel.

In evaluating the two decks of the eco motor yacht, you will find that there numerous solar panels that are exceptionally large. The decks are actually lined with them. Fortunately, they are strong enough that the passengers onboard are actually supported without damaging the panels. These solar panels work to capture the energy that is naturally emitted by the sun. In addition to the panels, there is an innovative turbine that is able to capture the energy of the wind – regardless of what direction it is blowing. The energy from the wind is then converted into electrical energy to power the water vessel. If it detects that there is a full charge on the electrical system, the turbine actually becomes what is called “flush” with the yacht’s superstructure.

If you look at the design of the superstructure of the eco-friendly yacht, you will discover that it is composed of a material that is referred to as “polypropylene”. This material makes up nearly 100% of the yacht as a whole. The actual hull of the luxury yacht is composed of this material and it is connected together with the superstructure in a design that is often referred to as a “floorboard”. In putting all the pieces of this particular water vessel together, the engineers used a unique type of welding that is referred to as “Laser Welding”. This type of weld help to make the structure fit in such a way that there are no concerns for leakage or other complications associated with the superstructure’s engineering.

If you evaluate the area where the boat keel is located, you will notice the jet based pump engines on the yacht. These engines are electric, but they are powered by energy that is emitted from the sun and energy that is emitted from the wind. Additionally, there are lithium batteries in the engines that help to keep them stabilized during times in which the boat is considered to be fully charged. There are generators onboard the luxury yacht that work to provide power to the batteries. When evaluating the environmentally friendly yachts on the market today, you will quickly find that eco friendly yachts are in high demand.

The Leviathan is one motor boat that is sure to appeal to those wanting to go green while cruising by water!

Best Eco-Friendly Charter Yachts

Guests can still live in the lap of luxury during a green yacht charter — environmentally friendly charter yachts harmoniously blend sustainability with the utmost comfort.  These eco-vessels below prove you can relish having your own floating kingdom while still respecting the surrounding nature that makes your dream possible.

Motor yacht YERSIN

An enthralling eco-vessel, superyacht YERSIN  astounds on every level, offering stratospheric levels of comfort whilst boasting zero emissions and low fuel consumption. She's an expedition yacht that employs a range of sustainable practices, including the use of water filtering and chemical-free products onboard, and even features her own research laboratory.

Accommodating up to 12 guests in 8 elegantly appointed staterooms, motor yacht YERSIN also has no shortage of sumptuous offerings, including a spa, a teppanyaki grill and a professional diving facility.  And as an explorer yacht, she can easily quench charter guests' thirst for epic odysseys, from the arctic wilderness to far-flung tropical isles. In fact, this vessel can cope with practically any temperature with aplomb: ranging from -20 degrees to a sweltering 50.

Thanks to her dynamic positioning system, superyacht YERSIN can also cruise intimately close to marine parks for spellbinding scuba dives — and all without disturbing the underwater menageries that live below the surface.

Motor yacht HAZE

Brand new motor yacht HAZE features solar panels which means guests eager to minimize their environmental impact during their charter can reduce their overall generator use.

Boasting a sporty silhouette with a sleek high-gloss finish, motor yacht HAZE is a visual masterpiece as well as a highly dynamic vessel. Petite but no less impressive than the other eco-friendly yachts featured, she is replete with a three-level beach club, panoramic windows, and an outdoor cinema setup — incredibly unusual for a 26m green yacht.

Sleeping up to 8 guests in 4 sumptuous cabins, she features solar panels which means guests eager to minimize their environmental impact during their charter can reduce their overall generator use, as the panels can power smaller appliances onboard instead. She also uses considerably less fuel, which translates into less carbon emissions and less impact on our beloved seas.

Superyacht SAVANNAH

Launched as the world's first hybrid  superyacht, SAVANNAH  is a precedent-setting vessel and ready to cater to every whim; from soothing tired toes to resting bronzed limbs.

She has an impeccable set of eco-credentials for conscientious cruising.  Her green features include a quiet yet high-performing electric-diesel engine reducing fuel consumption by 30% and an efficient hull design.

The world's first hybrid superyacht, SAVANNAH has an impeccable set of eco-credentials for conscientious cruising

Winner of numerous accolades, SAVANNAH houses a spa of unrivaled caliber — and we aren't using hyperbole here. An undulating rosewood spiral staircase leads you to a state-of-the-art sauna, hammam, steam room, massage room and more. But that's not all: this majestic yacht also features a 30ft swimming pool, an underwater viewing lounge cum cinema, gym and an elevator to connect four copious decks plus a veritable armada of tenders and toys for when the open waters beckon. This is all for 12 guests to enjoy across 6 staterooms.

Superyacht HOME

Charter yacht HOME gets five out of five eco-stars. She's a paradisical temple that's forward-thinking, with an uber-efficient FDHF hull design with hybrid propulsion. What does that mean for the environmentally conscious charter guest? A wonderful ripple effect on your impact and overall experience: lower emissions, better fuel and energy consumption, as well as reduced noise and vibration. 

Yet motor yacht HOME still remains very much a pleasure palace that thrills those on her decks. Sleeping 12 guests in 6 glorious cabins, she is bursting with deck space providing no end of lounging and entertaining options. Her highlights include a sundeck packed with a Jacuzzi, sit-up bar, shaded lounge and cloud-like sunloungers and a jaw-dropping sky lounge that drapes the room in light. You can also spend many an action-fuelled afternoon celebrating the sea with her dizzying array of water toys.

Sailing yacht DUNIA BARU

The embodiment of classic cruising grandeur and a magical sight at full sail,  sailing yacht DUNIA BARU  is reminiscent of a bygone era. She has developed an enviable reputation as one of the world's leading vessels and known for her strong commitment to eco-friendly living. Providing up to 14 guests onboard an idyllic launchpad for adventure in her native cruising grounds of Indonesia and Asia, sailing yacht DUNIA BARU avoids using single-use plastic and reef-damaging products.

Sailing yacht DUNIA BARU is known for her strong commitment to eco-friendly living and provides up to 14 guests onboard an idyllic launchpad for adventure.

She has previously hosted marine biologists who have been able to conduct crucial research into Indonesia's unique marine biodiversity, and charter guests are able to visit the Eco-Friendly Learning Center which has been sustainability built by the vessel's owner and helps to protect the local environment.

Featuring 7 well-appointed staterooms and an impressive amount of deck space, there's also a splendid amount of water toys to whip out for when adrenaline-fuelled capers call.

RENEWABLE ENERGY ON YACHTS

Solar panels.

Solar catamarans harvest power from the renewable elements for a more eco-conscious and efficient cruising experience. In-house designed and manufactured by the shipyard, Sunreef Yachts’ solar panels are state-of-the-art. They can be easily mounted anywhere on the sustainable yacht’s surfaces, including the hulls and masts, maximizing solar power. The panels are fully customizable in terms of size and shape to easily adapt to any structure on board. Dismounting for maintenance and repair is effortless. Flexible and ultra-solid, they are the industry’s lightest panels. Sunreef Yachts is also the first company to integrate solar panels in the curved carbon bimini roofs of its eco yachts. The Sunreef shipyard ’s R&D department is also developing an advanced system to recover heat from the panels to heat up the eco-friendly yacht’s boiler.

Hydro Generation

Hydro generation is about creating power whilst sailing in a sustainable catamaran. Sunreef Yachts Eco yachts can be equipped with advanced electric propulsion allowing power to be generated from the propeller rotation while the yacht is navigating under sail. This energy can be used to power the propulsion battery bank as well as the electronics on board. Hydro generation is highly efficient on eco yachts as they can recover electric power from two engines. It is a reliable and endless source of power for eco-friendly yachts .

Wind Turbines

Wind turbines produce power from the wind to keep the yachts battery bank charged. They play a very important role in the energy mix of every eco yacht. They are a stable source of power throughout the day, but also at night and in cloudy weather, when the yacht cannot rely on solar power. Energy is produced not only under navigation but also while docked. Using a sustainable power source, wind generators can operate in various wind conditions, starting from very light winds to stormy weather. The turbines are usually placed atop of the eco-friendly yacht to maximize the conversion of wind power to electricity.
