Known as the \u2018sofa boat\u2019, this electric boat was the twinkle in the eyes of spectators at the Abu Dhabi Yacht Show. These were used to ferry visitors around to get a glimpse of superyachts, pontoons and marinas. Powered using electricity, the boat is basically a 3.5 meter platform with a folding sun canopy covering the sofa-like seating area. The boat is steered using a joystick and has a soft foam bumper allowing transport in crowded marinas. These low noise boats have zero carbon emissions and can be charged via an electric socket. Its batteries power it up for 12 hours. The boat was designed by Abra Marine and the company currently has a solar powered one under development. The solar counterpart of this boat will be powered by seven square meter solar panels that will generate 1,000W allowing it to run for 10 hours. The B2B version of this boat has laptop docking points and a fridge for refreshments on the go!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nFor AED 59,000 ($16,000) and a bit more for customization, you can get one of these cool electric sofa boats.<br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.marinebusiness-world.com\/Electric-boat-wows-crowds-and-woos-women-and-kids\/66937\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">MarineBusiness<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is one sofa that won\u2019t sink in water, allowing you to relax and even travel on it.
