This is the ground-breaking Feadship Project 817 - an impressive eco-friendly creation.
She has been created for an experienced yachtsman and was built in Feadship's Kaag shipyard in the Netherlands.
The owner's aim was to reduce the environmental impact of the custom-built 94-metre (308-ft) yacht.
The owner has enthusiastically chartered nearly every Feadship creation in recent years and has utilized that knowledge with this project.
Delivering the same environmental impact
The superyacht builders were tasked with delivering the same environmental impact of the owner's previous Feadship yacht, despite being 32 meters (105ft) shorter.
The designers have installed an advanced hybrid propulsion system to achieve this very ambitious goal.
This enables Project 817 to travel at 12 knots comfortably using diesel-electric power. Her top speed is 20 knts when in diesel mode.
The yacht also uses diesel particulate filters and Tier III catalytic converters to reduce its environmental impact.
Feadship has also fitted a large battery bank to help offset the power required from her generators.
The ground-breaking yacht uses heat recovery systems
This ground-breaking yacht also uses heat recovery systems, and there is a waste treatment plant onboard.
Even the air-conditioning has been made energy-efficient to reduce power consumption - and is one of the several features of reducing the yacht's day-to-day carbon footprint.
This last aspect of keeping the interior cool is crucial because of the yacht's floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
This is an impressive achievement for the structural designers, Feadship Studio De Voogt and Azure, who had to compensate for the lack of bulwarks.
Peter Marino Architects also created an open beach house style for the yacht's interior to reflect the owner's philosophy of 'less is more'.
The electric-sliding doors
To underline her clean lines, all of the superstructure doors have been fitted as electric-sliding doors, whereas normally they would be hinged.
There no door handles, recesses, or hinges to create the flush finish to the superstructure.
The steel hull and aluminum superstructure has been engineered and designed to improve engine performance and be as efficient as possible.
The yacht's hull has been finished in a special pearl-white finish which creates a glistening effect in sunlight.
This Feadship creation also has the largest tender - which is 14 meters - they have ever installed. The tender doors are also the largest they have fitted.
Now the yacht will be attracting attention as the superyacht building industry - and increasingly owners - look to become more sustainable.
