Dolphins caught on camara – May 14 th 2024

On May 14th, 2024, during the commissioning of the CAT 10 Ecoboats, an extraordinary event occurred when dolphins were spotted approaching the vessel. This unique interaction was captured on camera, highlighting the boat's eco-friendly and silent operation. The footage from that day shows the dolphins swimming gracefully alongside the Ecoboat, often surfacing and playing around it. The absence of engine noise and pollutants likely contributed to this behavior, as dolphins are highly sensitive to sound and water quality. The clear waters of Montenegro, coupled with the boat's silent and clean operation, created an ideal setting for this encounter. The CAT 10 Ecoboat, designed to operate without emitting harmful gases or fuel, creates minimal disturbance in the water. This silence and lack of pollution provide a more harmonious presence in the marine environment, making it less intrusive to the natural habitats of sea creatures like dolphins.
