IN the new arms race of conspicuous environmentalism, the wealthy have been building "green" mansions, driving hybrid supercars and buying carbon offsets for their private jets. But now the eco-conscious rich have reached a new high-water mark: the hybrid megayacht.
This spring, Dutch ship builder Feadship launched a 274-foot (83.5 metre) ship called Savannah. It has all the amenities of a typical megayacht - a 29-foot-long swimming pool, four guest rooms, a master suite and VIP stateroom, a gym, a garage for jet skis and accommodations for a crew of 26. It also has an underwater lounge with special glass for viewing underwater sea life and a giant screen that turns the room into a movie theatre.
