Car manufacturers are not the only ones trying to contribute to cleaner forms of transport. The shipbuilding industry is not far behind in innovation, and more than convincing proof of this can be found in the form of the Kurt Strand Florida concept superyacht.

Florida concept superyacht, conceived by Kurt Strand Design, is one of the most advanced and above all environmentally friendly superyachts. With innovative technology, the developers have reduced the consumption of fossil fuels by as much as 90%. It's Florida 160 meters long superyacht that boasts three 80 meters high ″sails″. In this case, it is not a matter of ordinary sails, as only these are covered with solar cells, which draw solar energy, which is then stored in a battery below the deck. There are also two hydroelectric turbines in the lower deck, which provide an additional source of energy and propulsion.

In cases where there is neither wind nor sun, the already mentioned battery is available, ks capacity 5 megawatts takes care of hydrogen production. If we consider that, in addition to the aforementioned advanced technology, Florida also has a large swimming pool, a fleet of various water ″toys″ and a two-story bar, it quickly becomes clear to us that it is ecologically orientated vessel, which does not lack glamour, which we expect on the deck of the superyacht.
