Sinot Aqua: the $650m superyacht powered by hydrogen

There will be a new superyacht hitting the water in a few years, and rumour has it this hydrogen-powered mega yacht is owned by none other than philanthropist billionaire Bill Gates.

The $650-million Sinot Aqua will be the first hydrogen-powered superyacht in history, with a sleek design that looks straight out of science-fiction. The superyacht will feature two 28-tonne vacuum-sealed tanks of liquid hydrogen stored at -423 F that will allow a top speed of 17 knots and a range of 3,750 nautical miles.

As for luxurious accents, the spacious formal dining room, hydro-massage room, two VIP staterooms, four regular state rooms, space for jet skis, a cascading infinity pool, cinema, gym, yoga studio, and Japanese-inspired quarters are just some of the upmarket features that will set the Sinot Aqua apart from other superyachts already on the market.

And of course, in spite of its eco-friendly engineering, maintaining such luxury won’t come cheap. The Sinot Aqua could cost as much as $65 million to operate per year and will require a crew of 31 people.

This video takes an in-depth look at all the Sinot Aqua has to offer, with a detailed explanation of its innovative and environmentally-friendly propulsion system.
