SunCat 46 is available in two variations concerning the hull. 5.00 m width and 6.85 m either as a yacht or a passenger ship. Equipment, choice of material and handicraft are of highest quality. State-of-the-art technologies are applied to all solarwaterworld yachts. SunCat 46 has a large roof surface ideal to assemble solar cell modules with up to 6 KW capacity. The gained energy is stored in battery units, which provide energy either for propulsion or everyday life on board. SunCat 46 proves: luxury and eco-friendliness is not a contradiction. Furthermore SunCat 46 has a virtually unlimited traveling range due to the use of solar electricity. No further fuel costs occur.
