This eco-friendly vessel features solar panels, two electric propulsion pods, a silent electric motor, and is made with sustainable materials. Meant to be a floating hotel suite, amenities include a day space with a sofa and minibar, a roof solarium that seats up to 12 people, a 360-degree panoramic vision viewing area, and a night space with a circular bed and a bathtub.
