Odd 'Sofa Boat' Makes Debut at Abu Dhabi Yacht Show
Described as a 'floating fun platform,' the above Sofa Boat made its debut at the Abu Dhabi Yacht Show last week and was apparently quite the hit with guests. Powered entirely by an electric engine and touted as a more glamorous way to travel around crowded marinas and to and from private yachts, the Sofa Boat features a retractable sun canopy, joystick steering, a refrigerator for refreshments, and even laptop docking stations (although I can't imagine seriously having your laptop out on that thing). The craft charges via electric socket and boasts an eco-friendly 0% carbon emissions. This oddity can be yours for a mere AED59,000 (or about $16,000).

No such thing as zero emissions. This thingy gets electricity from a power plant. The power plant emits unless it is nuclear and that is pollution of a whole different kind!
