The Problem

India's marine tourism market leans heavily on imported vessels

India's premium marine tourism market depends heavily on imported, second-hand or refurbished yachts. Most existing vessels use diesel propulsion, meaning higher operating cost, emissions and noise — despite India having a long coastline and a large number of islands.

Karnataka's coastline — Mangalore, Udupi and Karwar — is exactly the kind of emerging destination that lacks structured, sustainable marine tourism infrastructure. Project Blue Horizon starts here.

The Programme

An eight-seat demonstrator

Centred on a lightweight composite, electric-propulsion demonstrator, intended for luxury tourism, inland waterways and future marine mobility applications.

Core Approach

  • Lightweight composite hull
  • Electric propulsion system
  • Solar-assisted charging layer
  • Green manufacturing process

Performance Goals

  • Quiet operation
  • Lower carbon footprint than comparable diesel craft
  • Durable composite structure
  • Lower energy requirement

Guest Experience

  • Reduced operational emissions
  • Premium passenger experience
  • Lower running cost target
  • Reduced maintenance target

Future Product Family

  • Premium day cruiser
  • Luxury charter yacht
  • Resort mobility yacht
  • Wider tourism fleet platform
