Sun, wind and hydrogen. This is all that the watercraft Energy Observer needs to sail, with which the Frenchmen Jerome Delafosse and Victorien Erussard are going on a six-year journey around the world. Their catamaran, which is a converted racing vessel (a former winner of the Jules Verne Trophy regatta), will be powered by solar and wind power (it is belted with solar panels and wind turbines) and will also be aided by fuel cells.

Zeelander Z55 or Z55 for short is a luxury 17 meter long yacht of Dutch origin. At the same time, this is the largest yacht produced by Zeelander, and it can boast of a traditional, timeless design and innovative spatial solutions of modern times.
Technically, the Anvera 48 is a boat that the owner uses to shuttle between the shore and a huge yacht that is anchored somewhere in the open sea. But upon closer inspection, we quickly realize that Anvera is more than just a boat and that it can also replace a yacht for most people.
Some have fun on the sea waves with a jet ski, while others with a rubber boat. These are the two most accessible 'nautical' entertainments, which can be enjoyed by significantly more people than the luxury of multi-meter luxury yachts. And what happens when a jet ski and a dinghy merge into one?
Brothers Germain and Léopold Bouvet run a design studio dedicated to high-end products for discerning collectors who want something very different. The Bouvet Marine Supermarine MM01 is said to be the first physical product produced by the company, a personal watercraft that combines state-of-the-art technology with the rarefied world of a limited edition product. It means that these jet skis will only be for collectors.
Tjep is a design studio from Amsterdam, where they came up with a very unusual luxury yacht concept. The Tjep Eau Electric Yacht has such an unusual shape that we are already wondering if we might not need a new nautical term for it.
Yachts are and always will be a status symbol. When someone mentions a yacht to us, in our minds we instantly place ourselves on board in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by our favorite company, with whom we toast with a glass of sparkling wine in hand. Yachts appear in various forms, from the most glamorous ones to the sporty ones for releasing adrenaline. For the upcoming summer days, we have prepared a strawberry selection of luxury on the water.
The superyacht Dynamiq GTT 165 has a kind of 'sledge' attached to the bottom of the hull, which enables it to sail faster and more calmly. As elegant as she is to drive across the bay, the yacht will also be fast on the open sea.
At the Dutch company Soel Yachts, they are determined to change the image of maritime transport. The Soelcat 12 is a solar-powered electric catamaran that accommodates 16 people. Among other things, the catamaran reduces disturbing sounds and carbon dioxide emissions in ports, lagoons and oceans.

Inspired by the image of Batman's mask, the Gotham Project yacht stands out like the Prince of Darkness stands out in his cape. The superyacht is being created in collaboration between designer Ivan Erdevicki, Dutch shipyard Icon Yachts, marine architects Van Oossanen Naval Architect and stockbroker Harry Bristow-Holmes. These names probably don't tell you much, but once you see what they're up to, you'll start to care too.
Lexus has already established itself well in the field of road 'cruisers', as it has been satisfying the needs of demanding users for many years. The Lexus LY 650 will be another of the 'ships' that will actually sail.
