Eco Factor: Eco-friendly boat powered by a low-emission hybrid engine.
Le Boat has unveiled the designs of a new Le Boat 1500 Series holiday boats that are perceived to change the face of holiday boating. The new series features three models that boast a range of technical features and creature comforts along with new eco-friendly technologies to reduce the boat’s environmental impact.
The boats are powered by a new hybrid technology that ensures greener boating holidays for the future. The Le Boat 1500 Series allows the user to cruise via a conventional diesel engine or using electric power with zero noise, zero pollution and zero fuel consumption. Each boat is equipped with six solar panels to generate energy that is stored in a battery bank, which makes cruising possible even on cloudy days. Electric energy will also be provided via the boat’s generator and shore power connectivity.
The superior diesel engine is built using the latest marine technology by Volkswagen Marine and has very low CO2 emissions. The boats are equipped with a new joystick steering making the boats easiest to drive and maneuver. The new series is also the most luxurious and spacious boat in the Le Boat fleet and designed to provide a home-from-home environment.
All cabins have flat screen TVs and en-suite bathrooms and have individual air-conditioning. Cabins have flexible twin/double layouts with additional space for children via fold-down beds. All beds are standard-sized with proper mattresses for maximum comfort.
