THE PROJECT

The Messina Energy Boat (MEB) is an initiative with a clear and ambitious mission: to design and build a zero-emission, electrically powered boat that sets a new standard for sustainable navigation. Our boat successfully participated in the 2023 and 2024 Monaco Energy Boat Challenge, a prestigious international competition focused on innovative and sustainable solutions in the maritime sector. In 2024, our boat Guglielmino also showcased its capabilities at the first Sardinia Innovative Boat Week.

Beyond these competitions, we are dedicated to promoting marine culture and sustainability in the Strait of Messina, engaging the local community and raising awareness of eco-friendly maritime practices. We believe that the sea is a valuable resource that must be preserved, and that sustainability can drive lasting positive change for future generations. Our team is already working on the next boat (GUGLIELMINO 2.0) for the upcoming MEBC 2025, continuing our journey towards a cleaner and more innovative future in maritime technology.
