PlanetSolar Changes Yachting

PRESENTING PLANETSOLAR

The largest solar-powered boat in the world is MS TÛRANOR. She is a phenomenal sun-loving vessel, and she just arrived in Miami, FL, our sunny hometown.

As I gaze at the deck of MS TÛRANOR, covered in solar panels, I wonder how and if the yacht charter industry will embrace solar powered luxury yachts.

 

ABOUT MS TURANOR

The MS TÛRANOR, also know as yacht PLANETSOLAR, is a pioneer for sustainable energy technology on water. She is on an around-the-world tour.  She is unlike any current luxury mega yacht charter vessel,  This amazing catamaran is a 31-meter multihull. She is topped by a large array of photovoltaic solar panels. Built in 14 months, the biggest solar boat ever built has impressive dimensions and is yet both silent and clean.

HOW DOES SOLAR POWER CHANGE YACHTING?

Imagine a charter in the sunny Mediterranean, cruising from port to port without burning expensive fuels and oils.

Solar enables you to slide along like a sailboat, for example, versus the constant drone of engines and some nauseating odors of diesel fuel.  Being propelled by pollution-free electrical engines is a dream.

In addition, eliminating fossil fuel greatly reduces carbon dioxide CO2 emissions.  This is an important step for this industry.  Yachting needs to project a greater commitment to protecting our oceans and environment.

WHAT DOES PLANETSOLAR INTEND?

The solar catamaran PLANETSOLAR employs the leading-edge technology available on the market. The intention is to demonstrate that by innovative use of existing materials and technology, high-performance solar mobility can be realized today.

In conclusion, we are truly witnessing a new era in sustainable energy technology on the seas.
