This design for a more eco-friendly yacht is from designer Dennis Ingemansson. The striking design was first shown at the Monaco Yacht Show in 2009, which is fitting since the lines of this yacht and its cool white leather interiors are inspired by the glamour of Saint Tropez of the 1960s. The green aspects of this yacht come from a lightweight aluminum hull and LNG (liquefied natural gas) technology. LNG is the cleanest fossil fuel. The yacht will also be equipped with solar cells for sustainable electrical power. Soon there will be a green alternative for lovers of high end power yachts.
