PROPEL THE FUTURE
Merging AI-optimised power with integrated transparent solar photovoltaics, Boon Boat glides endlessly across waters, embodying sustainability.
BE PART OF THE EVOLUTION
Fuelled by passion, our journey is 80% self-financed, spanning research, development, design, and construction. Now, as we approach our pivotal sea trials in April 2024, your support can propel us past the finish line in time for our summer launch. Partner with us, alongside Boatfolk Marinas, and contribute to a story that transcends the waves.
INNOVATION: THE BOON BOAT PLATFORMS
R&D Platform: A testament to versatility, our wide beam design and continuous motion capability is a beacon for research and development, especially in blue carbon and coastal ecosystem support. Featuring low-cost, accessible aquaculture sensor testing, solar-powered underwater drones for coastal inspection, and deep-sea exploration capabilities - explore more here.
AR Educational Platform: A net-zero development from inception to lifetime operation. Boon Boat is your portal to immersive educational journeys, offering AR-enhanced tours along the UNESCO World Heritage coastline. Discover our first venture to use the platform and embark on the Jurassic Sea trail; an experience where history meets technology. Learn more here.
High Stability Recreational Platform: Developed for calm leisure pursuits. At just 6m in length, our hybrid hull boasts a spacious 24sqm deck, designed for stability and serenity. The integrated transparent photovoltaics not only power adventures but also illuminate them, setting the stage for Dorset's most unique dining experience aboard Boon Boat BBQ.
MILESTONES ACHIEVED

TRANSPARENT SOLAR GLASS PV: ILLUMINATING INNOVATION
HARNESS THE SUN, NAVIGATE THE FUTURE
Boon Boat redefines marine architecture with its integrated transparent photovoltaic (PV) glass. This cutting-edge material serves a dual purpose: it forms part of the boat's structure and its energy powerhouse. Enveloping the perimeter, posts, and canopy superstructure, this solar PV glass crafts a sheltered yet luminous space, ensuring a seamless blend of protection and openness. Navigate under a bright sky with a deck that's both energised by the sun and invitingly clear.
AI INTEGRATION: NAVIGATING WITH INTELLIGENCE
Award-Winning Innovation adapted for Marine Precision
Our AI integration brings to the helm an Artificial Intelligence process originally created for the identification of retrofit projects. The system is primed for 2024 marine trials, with Starlink connectivity for data transmission. New efficiencies are created through rapid wave pattern identification via LIVE 8K video, enhancing motor performance and battery capacity. Our dual-lens, 180-degree camera captures the ocean without distortion, ensuring optimised power management and environmental interaction.
HYBRID HULL
Boon Boat's hybrid hull merges the best features of trimaran and tritoon structures. Equipped with three 'U' shaped aluminium floats, it offers a highly buoyant and stable platform. The nose sections have been designed to carve through waves with ease, surpassing the performance of traditional pontoon boats. This innovative approach not only enhances the boat's stability, but reduces drag ensuring a smoother, more efficient journey across the water's surface.
