Alastair Callender took luxury yachting to all new highs with his recent project, the “Soliloquy,” which is not only a luxury yacht, but also an eco-friendly one.

It is run by wind, solar and Hybrid Marine Power technology.

“The use of renewable and hybrid-electric energy will bring zero-emission capabilities and result in greater savings in fuel costs”.

“The innovative overhead beam not only adds to the overall aesthetics, but also houses three automated and pivotally mounted, rigid-wing solar sails.”

For 12 hours under the sun, Soliloquy can run to nearly 8 knots on solar energy alone according to BornRich.

Solar Sailor Holdings Ltd. will exhibit a scale model of the super green luxury superyacht in Majorca on June 25.
