Solar catamaran Suncat 46
The Horizon Group collaborated with Thomas Meyer of Solar Water World AG to create a high-end solar-powered boat for the global market. They have now proudly presented the SunCat 46, the successor to their first eco-friendly yacht design. J.C. Espinosa was responsible for the exterior styling of SunCat 46, which features a layout that includes a saloon, galley, dinette, helm station, and owner’s stateroom equipped with an ensuite head that includes a shower. The yachts accommodation was designed to be spacious, comfortable, and consistent with typical motor yachts.
The SunCat 46 uses high-efficiency batteries to store the energy required to move, moor, and perform other boating activities.
