Rapido 40 #7 “NullEins”

"Rapido 40 #07 "NullEins" with its all-electric Oceanvolt motor - and helm wheel - is going through its final testing before being shipped to New Zealand. It's a busy finish to 2023 and an energetic beginning to 2024!" – Rapido Trimarans The SAIL Magazine’s “Top 10 Best Boats” for 2024 nominated Rapido 40 is a high tech, all-carbon,…

"We are proud to be working in conjunction with Oceanvolt on our SQ46 electric catamaran, providing clean, electric power and propulsion. Professional and friendly, they are only a phone call or flight away." – Seaquest Catamarans The SQ46 is quietly powered by two 15 kW electric motors. Available in either a fully electric or hybrid…

We spend a lot of time on the water documenting and researching marine wildlife, with a particular eye toward inspiring young people to become passionate activists for the ocean. Our near-silent Oceanvolt motors allow us to film ocean critters without disturbing them and have been invaluable on our expeditions. – Owner of the Leopard 40…

"We are impressed by the power that the Oceanvolt systems offer and the regeneration on the ServoProp systems when sailing on the Dragonfly 40. The Oceanvolt system is a professional setup and with excellent backup. It’s a real joy and fun to manoeuvre the boat with Oceanvolt. Oceanvolt's electric propulsion systems make a lot of…

"In very light wind conditions, being able to quietly and silently (and without any fumes) motor-""sail"" to your destination, is certainly one of the best advantages of having an electric boat. Huge battery capacity is one of the secondary benefits, allowing us to be at anchor for days, with full comfort (hot water, AC, induction…

“We enjoy working with Oceanvolt because they are also at the forefront of the transition to emissions free sailing. Like us, most of the people there are sailors too, so it really feels like they are part of our team and vice-versa.” – Igor Kluin, CEO of Vaan Yachts In the spirit of Vaan's R4, Dutch-based builder…

"We have been pushing the limits of our Oceanvolt ServoProp Hybrid system motors from the start and they have performed! From cruising continuously at 7kts for several days to regenerating all the power we need to run our induction stove, dishwasher, water maker, washing machine and all our sail systems for a a 15 ton…

The NEEL 51 combines the benefits of its predecessors the NEEL 45 and the NEEL 65, performance and comfort living. It’s a blue water yacht for family, manoeuvrable by minimal crew. The 51’s sleek lines and reversed bows give it a modern design and sporting looking. Technology used in the electric Neel 51 trimaran: Boatbuilder:…

"Oceanvolt will be the perfect compliment to the Rapido Trimaran and Project SLV. Silent, emission free propulsion is a dream for sailors everywhere and the regeneration curves on a vessel as powerful as the Rapido are extraordinary!" "The Oceanvolt motor has already proved itself invaluable. On our first crossing our diesel had a major failure…

"We’re enjoying being part of the boating future that is electric propulsion. From the immaculately clean engine rooms and quiet motors - to the 1 kilowatt plus regeneration potential and no dirty diesel smells, the Oceanvolt system is literally a breath of fresh air." – Gavin and Dona White, owners of SV Waiata / ITA Catamarans…

"Getting rid of the diesel on our boat to avoid the fumes, exhaust, noise, heat, vibration, maintenance, weight, and general complexity of the engines that came with our catamaran was important to us because my wife has sensitivities to oils and exhaust. Plus we want to be self-sufficient as we travel and not always dependent…

"We've been following all of the great sailing Youtubers for years, and one of the things that made clear to us is that we want to be sailors, not diesel mechanics. We recently bought Adrenaline from Tula's Endless Summer and are in the process of converting to Oceanvolt. Adrenaline is a lightweight performance cat that…

"We are very satisfied with the Oceanvolt system installed on a Dragonfly 32 – Autonomy is important, and the regeneration system is impressive. It is great fun to arrive at the port without making any noise, Seagulls are sometimes surprised!" – Charlotte and Julien Binard, Hellomulti The Dragonfly 32 is the perfect combination of family…

"We are impressed by the power that the Oceanvolt systems offer and the regeneration on the ServoProp systems when sailing on the Dragonfly 40. The Oceanvolt system is a professional setup and with excellent backup. It’s a real joy and fun to maneuver the boat with Oceanvolt." – Jens Quorning CEO, Dragonfly Trimarans Winner of…

The full carbon electric ORC50 multihull by Marsaudon Composites has been designed for fast cruising and racing. The performance under sail is amazing: 15 knots of speed with less that 10 knots of wind and max speed when motoring 10 knots. The customer chose electric for the weight (lighter that a diesel version), reliability, silence…

"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…

"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." –…

"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…
