Florida: The Future of Sustainable Superyachting
Discover Kurt Strand's visionary 160-meter Florida concept, a revolutionary sailing superyacht that redefines what's possible when cutting-edge technology meets uncompromising luxury. This extraordinary vessel showcases our commitment to innovative yacht concept design through three towering 80-meter carbon fiber wing masts, each completely covered in state-of-the-art solar panels that transform sailing into an art form.
Kurt Strand Designs recognizes the evolving demands of discerning owners seeking both adventure and environmental responsibility. Florida delivers through its groundbreaking dual-mode operation: traditional sailing performance when winds are favorable, and revolutionary "solar sail" configuration during calm conditions. Advanced control systems automatically adjust sail angles for optimal sun absorption, ensuring continuous power generation while maintaining elegant aesthetics.
Bespoke acquisitions of this caliber demand exceptional engineering solutions. Florida's 5MW battery bank stores harvested energy for onboard hydrogen production, while hydro generators capture additional power during sailing operations. This self-sustaining ecosystem can produce more energy than the yacht consumes under ideal conditions, representing a quantum leap in strategic divestments from traditional fossil fuel dependency.
Accommodating 24 guests and 40 crew members, Florida provides the ultimate luxury getaway through premium amenities including foredeck helipad, aft swimming pool, and comprehensive beach club facilities. The vessel's adventure capabilities extend through amphibious and submersible tenders, plus dedicated storage for off-road vehicles and extensive water toy collections.
Tailored consultation with environmental consciousness guides every design decision, from reclaimed wood interiors to vegan leather furnishings and recycled plastic furniture. Our market-specific knowledge ensures access to pioneering technologies that make Florida's unlimited solar-powered range achievable while maintaining the sophisticated comfort standards expected by today's superyacht owners.
Florida represents tomorrow's yachting today, safely exploring uncharted waters through sustainable innovation and unparalleled luxury.
