“Carbon Neutral” Ocean Empire LSV Luxury Yacht

The 144-ft long Ocean Empire is covered front-to-back in solar panels, which can capture up to 70 kW of power from the sun alone. A Motion Dampening Regeneration system keeps the boat smooth in even the choppiest waters, and can reclaim another 50 kW of energy. As if that weren’t enough, a 861 sq-ft SkySail can be deployed to pull the ship to speeds of up to 18 knots. Should all that fail, there’s a Daimler BlueTec marine diesel engine to get you along to your destination. Lately, there seems to be a renewed interest in greening shipping, and I’ve so far been pleasantly surprised by what boating companies have come up with.

Oh, and there are also two hydroponic farms and fishing facilities, meaning your yacht is essentially a free-floating, self-sustaining isle o’ luxury, and it’ll only cost you $25 million, without the addition of optional naval defenses.
