The Horizon Yacht concept is an outcome of careful research, contemporary innovations and a whole new approach to design super-yachts aiming more adventurous but family oriented users. The SkySail is its only power provider which ensures continuous traveling all over the world without stopping for fuel. This feature is quite unique considering the reliance on power source to be refueled after every 4000nm or so for upkeeping the luxury apparatuses of other conventional yachts. The hulls have been innovatively designed to offer a smooth ride in all weather conditions by using wave piercing technology.
Horizon ploughs straight through the crest instead riding over it which reduces vertical acceleration drastically. Only with the SkySail, Horizon can run at 24 knots max and coupled with the 2 5000hp engines, it will top out at 45 knots.

Blu Bottle combines a superb innovative design with mechanical processes and doesn’t require any high tech electronics or reliance on batteries to perform. By using the most underused source of energy in the world, the human energy, this bottle can harness the user’s kinetic energy via a manual pump, various pressure chambers and valves. Blu Bottle contains a coolant unit and sudden release in pressure on that unit results drop in temperature, therefore generating drinkable condensation. This compact and versatile bottle is best for using in remote areas, relief/aid purposes and personal or outdoor use.
