Some regulators deemed electric cars too dangerous at low speeds because of how quiet they were. So, models started to come equipped with electric vehicle warning sounds to alert pedestrians of their presence. Well, now it looks like fish will need some regulators too, as Q-Yachts has developed the Q30, a boat with a silent propulsion system. Since part of the reason we enjoy taking a boat out is the calming sounds of nature, this yacht is pretty damn perfect. Of course, the peaceful sounds are only part of the reason we like this thing. It also happens to look like an Apple gadget for the water, with a sleek white exterior, touchscreen operation, and a design that produces minimal wakes. The zero emissions Q30 even offer a clean, attractive cabin for when you want to get some rest, and with only the sounds of the sea around you, we imagine that will be often.
