At the intersection of opulence and eco-consciousness, SÓL emerges as the star of the show. This luxury yacht, set to make waves at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS), promises to redefine elegance and sustainability on the high seas. Let's embark on a journey to explore this stunning vessel and its unique culinary offerings.

Design Elegance and Sustainability

From the moment you step aboard SÓL, you'll be immersed in a world of tranquility. The yacht's design, carefully curated by its owners, boasts a palette of light colors and neutrals that evoke a sense of serenity. But there's more to the design than meets the eye – every element onboard is vegan, cruelty-free, and sustainable. It's a testament to the commitment to eco-conscious luxury.

A Chef's Perspective on Plant-Based Cuisine

We had the pleasure of speaking with the yacht's chefs, who shared insights into the world of plant-based cuisine. While not exclusively plant-based, they've always emphasized fresh and veg-forward menus, making the transition to plant-based cuisine relatively seamless. The chefs even had the opportunity to train with renowned plant-based chef Matthew Kenney, uncovering exciting culinary possibilities.

One standout creation from their training is a delightful dessert: maple and cayenne marinated papaya and fresh sliced strawberries over creamy cashew butter, topped with chopped toasted cashews and plant-based caviar. This dish represents the creativity and indulgence that plant-based cuisine can offer.

Catering to Diverse Palates

SÓL is committed to welcoming guests with diverse dietary preferences. Whether you're a carnivore or a plant-based enthusiast, the yacht's culinary team will craft dishes tailored to your tastes. It's all about offering a bespoke experience that satisfies every palate.

Sustainability Above and Below Deck

SÓL takes sustainability to heart, even below deck. The yacht features a composting machine beneath the galley floor, turning food scraps into nutrient-rich soil amendments. It's a practical example of the "cycle of life" in action.

Silent Yachting and Solar Power

One of the most exciting features of SÓL is silent yachting. Utilizing advanced solar technology, the yacht glides through harbors without disturbing other vessels, providing an unparalleled experience of serenity.

Solar-Powered Adventure

SÓL's propulsion system boasts a remarkable 720KW of electric engine power, fueled by a 990KW battery bank charged via integrated solar panels. On a sunny Caribbean day, a fully charged battery can propel the yacht 218 nautical miles, demonstrating the potential of sustainable yachting.

The Future of Yachting Technology

As the first in the Sunreef Eco Power class, SÓL faces the exciting challenge of pioneering eco-conscious yachting technology. While it may come with uncertainties, the commitment of the yacht's community to solving these issues is reassuring.

Sustainability and Longevity

Questions often arise about the lifespan of solar panels and batteries. SÓL uses cutting-edge technology, and while it's still an evolving field, the commitment to sustainability extends to responsibly managing and recycling these components when the time comes.
