Your first impression of the AC Motorboat might be to consider its certain superiority as the treasured toy of a wealthy owner. Its smooth and minimal body has an air of crisp and contemporary sophistication, yet more is hidden beneath the surface.

Under the broad hardwood floored terrace is a configuration of sleeping arrangements that can accommodate up to 10 people. The setup makes it possible to carry out [weekend trips on the water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-day-boat) that are sufficiently family friendly.

Equally, the [sumptuous vessel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aman-amangati-yacht) is a brilliant place to host a group of friends. The open deck environment provides a panoramic view of sky, sea and beach and a fantastic setting for sipping cocktails and eating hors d'oeuvres. A [quiet electric motor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-boat-model) will also satisfy the speed junkies who wish to drive Alex Casabò's incredibly aerodynamic AC Motorboat.
