# Superlative Swiss Yachts Bond-Like 47" Code-X Catamaran Blasts Out of the Water By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-06-04 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/code-x-yacht References: [swipelife](http://swipelife.com/2009/06/03/code-x-yacht/) & [ybw](http://www.ybw.com/auto/newsdesk/20070931114221mbynews.html) Not even James Bond’s speedboat could match up to Code-X’s [Catamaran](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikonic-yachts1). This high-powered yacht is better than its already stunning looks make it seem. The boat can rip across the water on twin formula-1 engines at 80 knots (each engine pumps 710hp...wow), or switch to battery power and run at a leisurely 9 knots. The battery powered option can power the boat for up to 2 hours and when it dies, the boat can run on back up [solar panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fng-sng) (unlimited amount of time). The Code-X also has touch screen displays and a anchoring system that uses the motors to keep it stationary regardless of wind or water currents. Mr. Bond *wishes* he had this boat. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **High-powered Yachts:** The emergence of high-powered yachts with advanced features and alternative energy options presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the luxury yacht industry. - **Dual-engine Technology:** The use of twin formula-1 engines in yachts opens up possibilities for faster speeds and improved performance, creating opportunities for disruptive innovation in the maritime industry. - **Solar-powered Marine Vehicles:** The integration of solar panels in boats and yachts provides an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the renewable energy sector and marine transportation industry. ### Where This Applies - **Luxury Yacht Industry:** The luxury yacht industry can explore the incorporation of high-powered engines and advanced features to enhance their offerings and cater to the demand for faster, more efficient yachts. - **Maritime Industry:** The maritime industry can develop and implement dual-engine technology in various vessels, enabling them to achieve higher speeds and meet the growing demand for faster and more powerful watercraft. - **Renewable Energy Sector:** The renewable energy sector can tap into the potential of solar-powered marine vehicles, creating sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives for transportation on water bodies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Fast Hybrid Speedboats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-speedboat.md) - [Ultra-Luxe Jet Skis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supermarine-mm01.md) - [Riproaring Luxury Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opulent-luxury-yachts.md) - [Luxe Electric Hydrofoil Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-icon.md) - [Humongous Hydrofoil Luxury Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrofoil-luxury-yachts.md) - [Customizable Luxurious Superboats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gt-superboat.md) - [Haute Electric Cruising Boats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persico-zagato-1002-hyperboat.md) - [Opulent Catamaran Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunreef-55-ultima.md) - [Eco-Friendly Superyacht Tenders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ejet-4x-tender.md)
