The boat features the brand's famous design with a [sleek exterior and modern interior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikonic-yachts) that is as comfortable as a high-end apartment. The 60kWh battery pack gives the 30-foot vessel a range of up to 80 nautical miles for travelling long distances with ease.
