Electric Catamarans
The use of space-grade materials and technologies, along with catamarans’ superior stability and speed, have made them increasingly popular over the last few decades. A maximum surface area for the solar panels, comfort onboard and remarkable autonomy make an electric catamaran an ideal boat for coastal cruises with friends and family as well as for commercial eco-tours and far offshore explorations.
More Space, Pleasure and Autonomy
The twin-hull design of a catamaran offers an unparalleled level of comfort for the owner and their guests. The increased living space and higher headroom inside create the feeling of being on a luxury cruise, while the bridge allows for a spacious helm and leisure area. An expanded deck surface allows for installing an oversized solar panel, providing a higher power-to-displacement ratio. Having a larger solar roof translates into an almost infinite range and higher cruising speed.
Cost-Effective and Low Maintenance
With no reliance on fossil fuels, electric catamarans sail at zero fuel cost per mile. Having almost infinite autonomy provided by oversized solar panels and high-capacity battery banks, solar-powered cats deliver a continuous infinite range. Using electric motors instead of fossil fuel engines reduces the cost of maintenance by more than 80%. The absence of fuel tanks, filters and pumps, exhaust, transmission, oil and ignition and hundreds of other components present in explosion-based engines makes electric catamarans so much cheaper to maintain and keep in good shape.
Silent, Stable and Sustainable
Cruising along the waves or staying at anchor in full silence, undisturbed by the sounds of an engine or a generator, makes electric catamarans so desirable to owners and their guests. The stability provided by the dual-hull design adds to the comfort and safety onboard, allowing for full immersion in the environment. No exhaust, CO2, oil spill or sounds make electric catamarans ideal for eco-tourism in pristine waters. With no distractions while onboard, the journey becomes the destination.
