The Savannah is a superyacht, created by Feadship De Voogt Architects, that is claimed to be the world's first hybrid superyacht. Not only is this impressive creation powered by an innovative power plant, it is also the first superyacht to be almost entirely metallic painted.
You know a yacht is a luxury yacht when it is designed to carry more crew than guests. This one is designed to hold 12 guests and twice as many crew.
As far as the power setup goes, this hybrid superyacht makes use of a Wartsila 9L20 4-stroke engine arranged to allow for excellent fuel economy and quiet cruising.
While there are many superyachts out there, what makes this one so eye-catching is the fact that it is eco-friendly but doesn't compromise on luxury.
