Solar electric boat for transfers and nautical excursions on the lagoon

A 100 % electric boat, high power (max. speed 22 knots: cruise 15 knots) with an integrated solar charging system, complemented by an on-site photovoltaic station that will allow to self-produce more than 50 % of its consumption. It will carry out low-carbon transfers between Petite Terre (airport) and the Jardin Maoré and some excursion from the hotel. The innovation and design of this boat allow it to operate unprecedentedly; — landing on the sand during low tides, these hulled propellers are a guarantee of safety for both swimmers, divers and marine wildlife; — exit the water completely, thanks to a system of hydraulic wheels, which allow, whatever the tidal conditions, to approach the edge; — disembarking passengers on a beach or pontoon by means of a retractable bridge; — to get back on board effortlessly or for people with reduced mobility (PMR) thanks to a lift platform launching at the rear – to quickly change configurations on board. Thanks to an innovative modular seating system, the boat can be equipped (in 30 minutes of preparation) either in passenger transport 10 to 45 passengers, or in diving mode (30 divers max) according to the needs of the hotel and the Nautical Centre;
