As boaters, we are very conscious of the environment and the negative impact that boats can have on it. At the time of purchase, we outfitted THRILLER with the most fuel efficient diesel engines available that would fit into the allotted space in the hull.

THRILLER Charleston is a 43 passenger power catamaran that takes you on an off-shore adventure as we make our way to the Morris Island Lighthouse.

Eco Factor: First zero emissions boat equipped with hybrid propulsion system. Green heads of innovation have been scratching their wit, making water crafts to shed the least emissions. And with the Mochi Craft Long Range 23, Ferretti Group’s AYT (Advanced Yacht Technology) in collaboration with Studio Zuccon International Project, have actually achieved the pinnacle.

Electricity and water: we usually do everything we can to keep the two apart, but it seems the electric engine revolution is moving through the boating world as well. And when you're out on the water enjoying a speedboat, what more appropriate power source is there than the sun? The Czeers MK1 prototype solar speedboat is a 30-knot photovoltaic dream in delicious shades of carbon fiber, solar cell and lush orange leather.

It seems clear that our ability to more efficiently harness forms of renewable energy is vital to the future of our planet, but aside from the archetypal 'hamster in a wheel', few models have effectively relied on energy generated from living creatures. The River Gym is one of the more innovative concepts to break water in recent times and looks to cash in on our desire to exercise to stay fit and healthy by capturing the energy we expend when burning calories.
