The DSe Hybrid 12m is a sustainable luxury yacht, which can cruise indefinitely at speeds up to 6 knots while creating zero CO2 emissions using technology that combines diesel, solar and electric power.

You can live on the hook for months at a time using only renewable energy. All your power needs can be met by the 6 kW Solar array, modern batteries and Diesel Parallel Hybrid Propulsion System from Steyr Motors.

Winner of a swag of awards for innovation and green credentials, the DSe Hybrid has too many innovations and features to list. So if you're keen, visit the site and check out the White Paper on the vessel by its "mad scientist" inventor, Reuben Trane.
