The yacht could come with either an emergency diesel generator to refill the battery pack or (the completely green option) with a hydrogen fuel cell set-up. The propeller can also gather power by running in reverse when the yacht is in sail.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/176155/image/large-d785ce4e9cca1338d386f74fed49f8b9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/176155">The main layout consists of a large panoramic saloon with a dining area for 10, a lounge, galley and four ensuite double staterooms.
