At 2.4 million dollars I can see where the "green" come in. Also, how does the boat handle 2 to 3 meter waves.

[@redwolfexr]

yeah, more about the silent and smooth than "eco" -- but still

[@SolarYachtCompany]

We did in Abu Dhabi! An electrifying “TestFlight”! We love the glass superstructure ❤

[@Dennis-vh8tz]

I love the hull design. Great views for the passengers (and crew). It would be an eye/attention grabbing resort or harbour taxi, or super yacht limousine tender. The low (for a hydrofoil) speed and limited range are sufficient for specific use cases, but also a pretty clear indication that electric propulsion isn't yet ready to replace internal combustion engines.

[@tonys2957]

Those pillars seem to pose a visibilty challenge ... watch your neck when initiating a turn and looking for traffic.

[@pieterhoekstra9887]

I would have thought covering the roof with solar panels would help to increase the travel distance.

[@redwolfexr]

Not really, nowhere near enough roof to make enough range to be significant. There is a reason most solar boats are both big AND slow. "Small and Fast" is not solar friendly -- can't even make enough to keep the AC running.

[@ilkerYT]

24 knots 50 mile range is so low after mentioning that much drag improvements 50 mile might leave you in the middle of nowhere in a random storm that might happen.

[@heraki]

15 mile range xD

[@redwolfexr]

its not low for a boat. Especially what is essentially a luxury taxi. The sweet spot for range is going to be right above planing speed -- so you HAVE to run 18-20 knots. 50 miles is 2.5 hours -- with a 5 hour recharge.

[@OriginalJetForMe]

Man, I would’ve loved to have heard some stats about how much power was required at various speeds, both on and off the foils.

[@jimmyquinn9639]

A brilliant boat and another excellent video ⛵️🛥🚤👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏👏👏👏

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Interesting vessel! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍

[@rexpayne7836]

The cost will have to come down. Great video. 😊

[@AtSeawithAri]

It was a great day on the water! Like it or hate it, she is certainly a talking point, as well as filling a use case, albeit a narrow one 🤙

[@hanse81]

They could have installed cameras to cover the blindspots when you have that big screen in front of you anyway.

[@jonathanevans9257]

Outside the box thinking creates an incredible groundbreaking impractical boat! Ergonomics at the helm good but the helm seat isn't. How strong is the glass if a wave hits it? No side decks for mooring or cleaning it. Lakes and slow running large rivers are best applications for now. I built a radical narrowboat with 4 electric motors/thrusters 6 hrs of battery and I still put a gen set on it.

[@ilkerYT]

4:44 They could have done chromatic glass like they use in 7 series sunroofs

[@williamstrahan3198]

Very interesting!!

[@moneytalks901]

No solar panels?

[@jamesmatipwiri3765]

Great machine

[@ignatiusmartin9266]

A luxury car that runs on water ❤

Hi Tristan, really enjoy your content. You have (not) mentioned in the past about some brands of yachts/builders that you would not like to captain due to build quality, level of finish etc... Not asking you to call out brands by name you don't like, but I would be very interested in seeing a video of brands/builders that you would endorse, respect and admire. Thanks.

[@MarketingStrategies28]

Lazzara was one

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

Correct.

[@MarketingStrategies28]

@@SuperYachtCaptain Man i love that 87. If i get it i will pick you up. Worrys me why they took 1-2 years to build it then ofter 1 year to sell it and loose 4 million?

[@fredericp2740]

Très laid et hors de prix !!!

[@BernhardEhm]

an Eyecatcher for sure

[@zdravkodimitrov]

720p only still, just FYI.

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

Sorry about that, it seems we had a format issue when uploading, not sure what happened. I thought it was a KZbin setting but it wasn't

[@floodo1]

I want a ride!!!

[@xx6489]

I was disappointed not to see Dr Evil sitting in the armchair

[@JimmyLarsen33]

720p ? Come on....its 2023

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

🧐 it must be your settings, it’s 4K. You need to change your KZbin settings

[@JimmyLarsen33]

@@SuperYachtCaptain Sorry Tristan, but i have no trouble watching other 4K video's....my setting's are fine. And this is still 720p...

[@HurtigeHelene]

Also only 720p on my device. But the 4k is probably still rendering. It can take some hours before the 4k option is available for the rest of us. Thanks for the fantastic videoes you make. Love from Denmark❤

[@randyjude8346]

8 hours later..720p.. however I'm fine with that.

[@JimmyLarsen33]

@@HurtigeHelene Ditto :)

[@moonlightfitz]

😮

[@chrisjohnson6765]

Can’t get past the impression with many of these boats that there are designed simply to point a spotlight at the owners. I realize that is a good part of the marketing, but truly I find this design comical, impractical, and a bit ridiculous. That being said, you make it and you can spend it however you wish.

[@ilkerYT]

720 P ? really ?

[@dannycrooks8462]

Cut the green bull materials for the batteries still have to be mined and processed which uses lots harmful chemicals and also lots of water you've also got the copper mines and all the water used on processing the copper that boat has a large carbon footprint in the making of it how many years does it take to become carbon neutral how many tons of carbon was produced in the making of the boat it's no greener for the planet than any other boat

[@paton57]

Considering man made climate change is total bullshit and is being proven daily I wand a dirty great blown V8 driving my tender

[@tonys2957]

You ignore operating costs - conveniently. No oil changes, no emissions, etc. I'm not an electric zealot, just objective. ICE has been around for 100+ years and has evolved. Electric mobility will see accelerated advancements in the next couple of years. Ie, solid state batteries are only just looking at commercialization. Talk to us in 5 years time.

[@MarketingStrategies28]

​@@tonys2957Where do you think power comes from 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 Dumb sheep

[@carolynrose753]

Definitely no,good for fishing

[@katman8714]

Looks dumb😮

[@joecovey2235]

I know you';re a yacht channel, but this kind of virtue signaling "green" stuff drives my crazy. Where's the energy coming from for shore power? Where are the rare earth metals coming from to make al these batteries for EVs.. cars, boats etc? The truth is there's nothing green about EVs and there are not enough rare earth metals to mine to make a full transition as many are pushing for. Not to mention the environmental disaster the mining is. Gotta love when so many in the west cruise around in their EVs virtue signaling while ignoring the mining to make that happen many thousands of miles away in Africa and China.
