The advantages are clear:…

The Lohi 34 is a 10.4 m cruising monohull designed by Hans Groop and built by Lohi Oy and Joemarin Oy from 1973-1981.

“The decision to install an electric motor onboard our boat was one that we made fairly early on in the design process. For us, Oceanvolt was the clear choice. It was a pleasure to work with the team to develop and integrate a system which is clean, safe, efficient and reliable. We believe it’s our…

"Our big engine refit is currently being implemented. Bye to the 6 cylinder diesel engine and AC diesel generator. This is a multidimensional project; electric propulsion (combined with hydrogeneration), large lithium battery bank and big DC generator will cater for both silence while motoring and independence to run all systems for an extended period of…

"San Diego’s Sunwater Marine is knee-deep in a dual ServoProp installation for the Leopard 40 catamaran, Ramblin' Rose. Seeing and (not hearing) is believing. Reducing our reliance on fossil fuels is a lifelong dream. Oceanvolt’s innovative technologies to harvest energy from the sun, wind and water is a big boost for the boating experience -…

A fully autonomous electrical sailing yacht based on the Oceanvolt system will soon become reality, and I am very happy that my experience will have contributed to fulfilling that challenging objective." –…

“I was a pioneer with electric sailing, commissioning the first Alerion Yacht with an electric auxiliary in 2009. When that original system failed unexpectedly and I needed a quick solution to salvage a championship sail racing season, I turned to Oceanvolt. When I was ready for a second electric yacht, and a big step up…

"Since we first dreamt of sailing the world, we dreaded the smell, noise, vibration, and maintenance, synonymous with having a diesel motor on-board. So, we decided to build our own electric motor from used parts we found online. After 5 years and 20,000 miles of sailing with our DIY system, we were finally able to…

"As I was looking for a replacement for my inboard gasoline engine, I wanted to make sure the engine would be reliable, safe and easy to use. The Oceanvolt SD6 has proved to be all of that, but also lightweight and silent. My Esse 850 yacht being a day-sailor, it is super convenient for me…

"I have always been fascinated about the idea of a sailboat traveling in the ocean energy self-sufficient like the satellites rounding the earth. Producing its own energy with the power of the wind, sea and sun. With modern day electric devices on board power supply might be a challenge. Oceanvolt’s electric motor serves as a…

It fuelled my regatta instinct, I had to turn off the regeneration. Then we had the same speed. Sailing side by side within 10 meters, I added some silent power from the Oceanvolt system, and took off into the horizon with the other captain bewildered and staring at the magic boat! This testimonial was written…

From the second we stepped on board the Salona 46, the twin Oceanvolt ServoProp system was amazing! With the twin motors, we could turn easily in the marina without even using the wheel to steer. While sailing, we hydroregenerated energy twice as fast. And, the new Salona 46 is fast to sail making it a perfect…
