WINNER 2022 & 2023

Uniboat Solar Team

From Università di Bologna, the UniBoat Solar Team clinched top honors at the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge in 2022 and 2023. Their solar-powered boat, a blend of academic brilliance and innovation, set new benchmarks in sustainable marine propulsion.

 

Their consecutive wins highlight both their technical prowess and commitment to a greener maritime future.

The Yacht Club de Monaco was among our earliest supporters and in 2019 was the first location in the world to install DC marine fast chargers.
