The conceptual 'Kiwa' superyacht has been designed by Isaac Burrough as a vessel that will provide posh amenities for passengers, while also keeping a focus on its environmental impact.
The superyacht features in at 110 meters in length and is covered with 200 square meters of solar panels that will provide support for various on-board functions. This helps to reduce the level of fuel consumption by the hybrid propulsion system and also increase the experience for passengers by reducing the amount of noise created by an energy generator.
The conceptual 'Kiwa' superyacht is rounded off with multiple pools, sun pads and more in order to provide the best experience for passengers while aboard. The yacht is imagined with the ability to seamlessly traverse the waters of the Mediterranean or even the arctic.
