Wanted to love
Beaulieu Marine的点评
点评：This is a tough review to write because we really wanted to love this experience. I want to start by saying that the staff were lovely—professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful when we ultimately needed assistance.
My friends and I rented one of the small solar boats while traveling in the area last week. I grew up around boats and am very comfortable operating and navigating them, so I was surprised by just how limited the boat was from the moment we left the marina.
The boat's maximum output is around 1,200 watts, which for us translated to roughly 5–6 km/h. To put that into perspective, a trip that I would estimate may normally take 10–15 minutes from the marina to Villefranche-sur-Mer took us approximately 1.5–2 hours. This was one of the locations that was on the map and suggested to us by the staff.
We spent a significant portion of that time being hit by waves and the wakes of much larger yachts, with some members of our group getting nervous and a little seasick. I quickly messaged the marina because I found the lack of speed/ power a little concerning. They assured me it was normal, so we proceeded on and we eventually made it to our destination, anchored, and had a great time for the rest of the day.
Because we knew the return trip
would take a long time, we planned for about two hours to get back. When we noticed the wind picking up, we decided to leave earlier. Shortly into the journey back, the engine died. I restarted it, but it continued to shut off whenever we tried to increase the power. We ultimately couldn't get above approximately 700 watts, which was only about 3 km/h.
At that point, we had very little ability to move forward, so we contacted the marina again. They sent staff out to find us and tow us back, and I want to emphasize that they handled the situation extremely well. We were very grateful for their quick and professional response.
The part that concerns me is that these boats are being used on open water where you're sharing the sea with large yachts, significant wakes, changing wind conditions, and a rocky coastline.
During the safety briefing, we were told that the power is intentionally limited and that exceeding certain wattage levels could damage the electric motor. I understood that the boats would be slow, but I don't think I fully understood just how little power they actually have until we were out there.
I understand the reasoning behind limiting the speed of a boat that people can operate without a license or captain. However, after our experience, I'm not convinced that having so little power necessarily makes these boats safer. If conditions change or something goes wrong, there is very little ability to accelerate, maneuver, or make meaningful progress against the conditions.
Overall, we were genuinely excited about this experience and really wanted to love it. The concept is great. I just think potential renters should be very aware of what they're getting: these boats are not simply slow—they are extremely limited in power. Personally, I would not put children or inexperienced swimmers on one, and I would recommend spending the extra money on a conventional boat with a proper engine. That, OR, the team should not allow it to go far from the marina.
For us, the additional power and peace of mind would have been worth it.

翻译：这篇评测真不太好写，因为我们原本真心希望会喜欢这次体验。首先我要说，工作人员非常友善——专业、响应迅速，在我们确实需要帮助时更是给予了极大的协助。
上周，我和朋友们在游览当地时租了一艘小型太阳能船。我从小就在与船只打交道的环境中长大，驾驶和操控船只对我来说轻车熟路。可令我惊讶的是，从我们离开码头的那一刻起，这艘船的功能就显得极为有限。这艘船的最大输出功率约为1,200瓦特，对我们而言，这一功率水平只能让船速达到每小时5–6公里左右。打个比方，通常情况下从码头到滨海韦尔弗朗什的航程大约需要10–15分钟，而我们这次却花了约1.5–2个小时。这个地方正是地图上标注的、也是工作人员向我们推荐的景点之一。
在这段时间里，我们大部分时间都在承受海浪以及那些体积大得多的游艇所激起的浪花的冲击。我们团队中有些人开始紧张起来，还有些人有点晕船。我立刻给游艇码头发消息，因为我觉得游艇速度太慢、动力不足让人有些担心。他们向我保证这种情况很正常，于是我们继续前行，最终成功抵达目的地、抛锚停泊，当天余下的时间也玩得很开心。
由于我们知道返程需要很长时间，所以计划花大约两小时返回。当我们注意到风力逐渐增强时，便决定提前出发。返回途中没走多远，发动机就熄火了。我试图重新启动，但每当我们试图提高功率时，发动机又会立刻停止运转。最终，我们最多只能达到约700瓦的功率，对应的速度也仅约3公里/小时。
此时我们几乎无法前进，于是再次联系了游艇码头。他们立刻派人来寻找我们并将我们拖回。必须强调，他们处理情况的方式极为出色。对于他们迅速且专业的应对，我们心存感激。让我担心的是，这些船只在开阔水域航行，那里有大型游艇、汹涌的浪涌、多变的风况，还有布满礁石的海岸线。
在安全说明会上，我们得知船只的功率被有意限制，超过一定的功率值就可能损坏电动机。我原本以为这些船只会开得很慢，但直到我们真正出海后，我才意识到它们的动力其实极其有限。我理解限制那些无需执照或船长即可驾驶的船只的速度的理由。不过，根据我们的体验来看，我并不认为动力如此微弱就能使这些船只变得更安全。一旦环境发生变化或出现状况，船只几乎没有加速、灵活操控或在恶劣条件下取得进展的能力。
总的来说，我们原本真的对这次体验满怀期待，也真心希望会喜欢上它。这个概念本身就很不错。我只是觉得潜在的租船者应该清楚自己将要租用的是什么样的船：这些船不仅速度慢，动力也极其有限。就我个人而言，我不会让小孩或游泳经验不足的人乘坐这种船，我建议多花点钱去租一艘配有正规引擎的普通船只。或者，运营方也不应该允许这种船远离码头。
对我们来说，多出的动力以及那份安心感绝对是物有所值的。
