Boats of the future

Imagine charging your electric boat in five minutes, luxuriating on soybean seat covers, hiding your batteries in your yacht’s sales, insulation you can eat, and fully autonomous boats. Plus, for something that sounds like a Biblical miracle - changing water into fuel. And, of course, advances in marine electronics and engineering can also be associated with increased safety and convenience too.

This article from Boating NZ gives us a taste of who is trialing what - you will see that research and prototype creations, focused on the boats of the future, are occurring all around the world and the developments are just staggering.
