Some people with serious money still chase ever-larger traditional superyachts. Others look at the same bank balance and choose something smaller, quieter, and far more practical. The HBY 140 SolarYacht from SolarYacht in Brandenburg, Germany, sits in that second group. Measuring 20 meters long and 7 meters wide, it offers 140 square meters of living space built as an aluminum trimaran. Base price starts at 595,000 euros. Fully equipped examples have listed around 830,000 euros.
