Silent water

The Solar Eco-Boat

Our solar-powered boat trades engine noise for birdsong — the closest thing to drifting on the lake under your own weightlessness.

The Solar Eco-Boat

The eco-boat is the quiet way onto the water: solar-powered, near-silent, moving at the pace the lake sets. Without an engine’s drone the soundscape opens up — reed frogs, kingfishers, the far grunt of hippo — and the birds let you drift closer than any motor allows.

It is also a statement of intent. The lodge runs on solar; the boat extends that to the water. Sundowners still make it aboard.
