LOHI 34

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. Our diesel engine had served well for decades but it was about time to plan to retire the old engine and invest into reliability. The last year with diesel engine was a kind of "self…

I have much enjoyed the experience of specifying and building Spirit 65DH SPIRIT OF JOSPEHINE. I have always sailed but our previous yachts have been more production orientated. Therefore, the opportunity to work with Spirt Yachts to produce a yacht that is close to carbon neutral, bespoke and beautiful has been a privilege. She sails…

"Sailing in Maine is adventurous. The winds shift around the islands, a 3+m tidal swing constrains the timing of passages, fog often obscures visibility, and there are lobster buoys everywhere. Our new Oceanvolt system provided clean, quiet auxiliary power exactly when we needed it, allowing our family to explore in peace and comfort. Converting to…

The first tourist boat was placed by crane into the Dijver canal in Bruges in 2019 and since then twelve more have started operating in the UNESCO World Heritage City. The boat is run by 20 lithium batteries housed in sealed watertight containers on the boat. The electric boats are quieter than diesel ones and…

“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 has been implemented. We said bye to the 6 cylinder diesel engine and AC diesel generator. This was a multidimensional project; electric propulsion (combined with hydrogeneration), large lithium battery bank and big DC generator that cater for both silence while motoring and independence to run all systems for an extended period…

"Earlier this year, San Diego’s Sunwater Marine completed its dual-ServoProp installation for the Leopard 40 catamaran, Ramblin' Rose. We’re turning heads as we quietly cruise the bay in style. Oceanvolt’s innovative technologies to harvest energy from the sun, wind and water is a big boost for the boating experience - and the environment. Setting an example for…

"My recent voyage on Aventura Zero has shown that having zero carbon emissions on offshore passages with the Oceanvolt regeneration system is possible. 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…

"The Arcona 435 is an incredibly fast performance cruiser that won European Yacht of the Year. We at Green Yachts sailed our pure electric Arcona 435Z across the Atlantic Ocean in 2020. The 15kW Oceanvolt ServoProp on the Arcona 435Z allowed us to generate more than enough energy to meet our needs and we arrived…

The Salona 38 is a beautiful European yacht with a great cabin layout that makes this Salona 38 feel like a bigger boat when sailing or enjoying an evening down below with family and friends. Handling is precise and responsive under sail and with an Oceanvolt electric propulsion system, it also handles beautifully when maneuvering…

"Since installing the ServoProp 6 months ago, we've sailed over 3000nm offshore. From Norway, to Svalbard and down to France. Now with good regen, we have the ability to keep our batteries charged offshore, which has made these longer passages much more enjoyable. We no longer need to worry about cloudy days, or stopping in…

"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…

"Salona is very dedicated to supporting the electric-powered community on water, and we are actively promoting electric propulsion, which we believe is making boating even better. When we started developing the first Croatian electric yacht, we chose Oceanvolt to be our partner as we share the same passion and devotion towards electric propulsion and are…

Around a year ago I started the Elwood project from scratch, with just a vision and desire of a wooden classic electric boat in my mind. From the very beginning I decided to cooperate with Oceanvolt to equip my beautiful unique handcrafted boats with state of the art electric powertrains. Now after the first year…

Once you have tried electric…

"3500 miles and 9 months without a generator! Independent catamaran is not offering combustion engines anymore. There is no reason for that. Under sail the IC36 is cruising between 12 to 15 knots with max over 25k. We have huge regenerating curve here. Thanks to performance DNA and very well balanced weight distribution with only…
