It is run by wind, solar and Hybrid Marine Power technology.

“The use of renewable and hybrid-electric energy will bring zero-emission capabilities and result in greater savings in fuel costs," according to Born Rich. "The innovative overhead beam not only adds to the overall aesthetics, but also houses three automated and pivotally mounted, rigid-wing solar sails.”

The ‘Soliloquy’ is a preview of the eco-friendly yachts we will be seeing in the future.

3. Hybrid Marine Power - The Soliloquy's use of hybrid marine power establishes a trend in the integration of various renewable energy sources in yachting, providing potential for advancements in hybrid propulsion systems for the marine industry.
Industry Implications
