Alastair Callender took luxury yachting to all new highs with his recent project, the "Soliloquy," which is not only a luxury yacht, but an eco-friendly one (unlike many of its counterparts).
It is run by wind, solar and Hybrid Marine Power technology.
“The use of renewable and hybrid-electric energy will bring zero-emission capabilities and result in greater savings in fuel costs," according to Born Rich. "The innovative overhead beam not only adds to the overall aesthetics, but also houses three automated and pivotally mounted, rigid-wing solar sails.”
The ‘Soliloquy’ is a preview of the eco-friendly yachts we will be seeing in the future.
