[Robb Report] Magonis has found a clever new way to extend the range of electric yachts at sea.The Spanish yard, which has established itself as a pioneer of green technologies over the past five years, has just unveiled what it claims is the first "charging buoy." The new MagBuoy will officially debut at Boot Dusseldorf next January, but Magonis has decided to preview it and two other sustainable innovations ahead of the show.
Developed in-house by the research and development team in Figueres, the MagBuoy is compatible with electric boats and yachts by all yards. Equipped with a built-in battery, the buoy receives power via an underwater cable that is connected to the chosen city’s grid. To charge, seafarers can simply pull up to the buoy and plug its charging cable into their vessel.
