A couple of days back we covered a pedal-powered concept boat for those who don’t mind sweating out to save a few gallons of fuel, and today we have a little more tech-favoring yacht concept that allows you to get in touch with nature without burning calories. Designed by Dennis Ingemansson, the Esthec superyacht generates solar energy to propel the yacht’s electric engine.

Apart from offering an ecofriendly cruise, the Esthec also treats you luxuriously with an onboard swimming pool and hi-tech interiors. The Esthec also boasts a lightweight floor made from sustainable materials, which can easily be recycled. The yacht is expected to be exhibited at the Monaco Yacht Show 2009.
