French designer René Gabrielli set out to create a catamaran that would be environmentally sound with green technology—but still look great. The result is the UE4 Catamaran concept, featuring two turbines powered by lithium batteries that can themselves be powered by solar panels.

Not that those batteries are even needed all the time, since the sails can do the work on windy days. (They can also be hidden away when not in use.)

Should you not feel like going in the ocean but still want to get wet, there’s a swimming pool with decks on either side. There are also stern sundecks should you feel like impersonating those solar panels.
