Business-Friendly Yachts

Charlie Baker Creates the Ultimate Vessel for Entrepreneurs

— October 23, 2011 — Autos
Charlie Baker may be a newcomer to the world of yacht design, but his E-Yacht concept is already making waves. Following a brief stint working in China, Baker realized that the majority of yacht owners were entrepreneurs who were accustomed to holding meetings and wining and dining clients aboard their opulent vessels. Bearing this in mind, Charlie Baker set about creating the perfect on-board atmosphere for this moneyed demographic.

Sleek and minimalistic, the E-Yacht is all about clean lines and luxurious modular living. Measuring 46meters in length, this magnificent vessel boasts a meeting and board room, several rooms and bathrooms outfitted with Jacuzzi baths, a spa, gymnasium and a movie theater. The layout is clean and surprisingly spacious.

Powered by a hybrid version of a diesel-electric machine, the E-Yacht by Charlie Baker concept is sure to catch the eye of more than a few outrageously successful entrepreneurs.
