The Solliner is a 21-foot mini-yacht which can accommodate up to 10 people.
The manufacturers say the boat is not only eco-friendly, but also cheap to run and easy to operate.
The vessel is powered by solar panels installed on the roof and, if necessary, can also be recharged using a standard electrical plug and socket.
The mini-yacht stands out with its sophisticated design, reminiscent of sports cars.
“This reflects my long-term interest in the automotive industry,” said Mirosław Skwarek, co-owner of Green Dream Boats, which manufactures Solliners.
The company, launched in 2014, has already sold 50 boats and is receiving orders from different parts of the globe, including Western Europe, Dubai, China and Australia.
The basic version of the Solliner costs about PLN 160,000 (EUR 36,000).
