Flying silently over the water.

A world premiere of a futuristic fast and luxurious watercraft with zero emissions took place during the latest Cannes Film Festival.
“The Icon” marks a significant milestone as a groundbreaking all-electric boat, positioning itself as a trailblazer for sustainable mobility on water, thanks to a collaboration between TYDE, BMW’s battery technology, and Designworks’ design expertise.
Connecting with nature is the true essence of luxury, and this watercraft allows people to fully immerse themselves in the surrounding environment.
Passengers can enjoy a fresh and serene experience with its spacious windows, free of any emissions or engine noise.
The inventive use of glass even gives the appearance of a floating roof.
Although The Icon is currently a one-off project for BMW, it demonstrates the company’s commitment to extending the lessons learned from electric car development into new realms of luxury and sustainable mobility.
