🇫🇷 Meet PolyBoat Nantes – Energy Class, N°15

A young but fast-growing team from Polytech Nantes (Université de Nantes), PolyBoat Nantes has quadrupled in size since 2025 — from 8 to 24 members — all focused on sustainable marine propulsion. Back for their second MEBC after learning hard lessons on reliability in 2025, the team is refining battery use and hydrogen coupling, adding a new four-foil system, and integrating 2m² of flexible solar panels embedded directly into the boat’s structure. Lighter, more efficient, built to last the distance.

🇵🇱 Meet POWERgoats – AI Class, N°34
From the PUT Powertrain Interfaculty Scientific Club at Poznań University of Technology, POWERgoats bring POWERboat to Port Hercule — a solar and fuel-cell foiling boat built entirely in-house across mechanics, electronics, IT, and design.
Hydrofoils cut drag, a hidden basalt-fibre cockpit reduces weight, and an adaptive powertrain with active solar-cell monitoring keeps performance optimised on and off the water. Engineers of the future, racing today.

🇪🇸 Meet InnoBoat Bizkaia – Energy Class, N°11

From the Bilbao School of Engineering at the University of the Basque Country, InnoBoat Bizkaia is back with Vilson, a lightweight electric racing boat built on the lessons of their earlier solar prototype, Delta One.
After finishing 9th in 2025, the team shifts focus this year from hardware to system intelligence: Copernicus-based route planning, a conversational AI assistant, and a custom in-house lithium-ion powertrain. Solar panels have also been added to extend range and ease battery demand.Zero emissions, sharper handling, smarter systems.

🇵🇹 Meet Técnico Solar Boat – SeaLab Class, N°47

From Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, a decade-strong team with a fleet of seven boats behind them, now consolidating years of innovation into their most advanced prototype yet: São Gabriel 01. This year’s focus: integrating a 100kW hydrogen fuel cell and developing a steer-by-wire system for full vessel autonomy — pushing hydrogen propulsion and smart hydrofoiling to a new level.Efficiency, comfort, and autonomy, all on the water.

🇬🇧 Meet Cambridge University Riviera Racing – Energy Class, N°5

Now in their third year at the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge, Riviera Racing has evolved from a student startup project into a performance-focused racing team.
For 2026, they’re bringing custom propeller geometries designed with computational software, space-grade solar panels paired with an MPPT converter for smarter energy harvesting, and a fully modular electronics system with swappable microcontroller boards. A digital twin of the boat even assists the pilot with real-time decisions on the water. Engineers, designers and project leaders — one goal: proving clean maritime tech can be both fast and efficient.

🇨🇭 Meet Swiss Solar Boat – SeaLab Class, N°46

Straight from EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), Swiss Solar Boat brings REF, a solar-hydrogen foiler capable of hitting 35 knots with zero emissions.
Born in 2019 and now over 75 students strong, the team already proved themselves with Le Dahu, completing a 13 km hydrogen-powered crossing between Lausanne and Évian. Now they’re chasing an even bigger goal: a full 160 km circumnavigation of Lake Geneva.
First stop: Port Hercule, Monaco Energy Boat Challenge 2026. 🌊⚡

🇳🇱 Meet TU Delft Hydro Motion Team – SeaLab Class, N°45

26 driven students from Delft University of Technology are taking on one of the toughest engineering challenges in the fleet: a liquid hydrogen-powered foiling boat.
Their vessel runs on cryogenic liquid hydrogen, stored in a pressure-regulated tank, paired with a brand-new foil design and improved hull. Racing to win, while proving that zero-emission tech can outperform the conventional.
