OCEAN ECO 78 is a 23.7-metre catamaran, available with fully electric drive and comes fuel cell ready.

ALVA Yachts, the German builder of luxury electric solar catamarans and sail boats, is pleased to announce the introduction of the OCEAN ECO 78, a 23.7-metre multihull yacht with electric propulsion and transatlantic range.

Designed with luxury, safety and performance in mind, it boasts the latest technology developments, surpassing self-sufficient competitors.

As with ALVA Yachts’ existing models in the ECO range, the 78 has been designed with responsible yachting at its core. Its expansive roof has been specifically conceived for its integrated solar panels, giving her a transatlantic range and virtually unlimited autonomy, as the panels take energy from the sun and store it in the battery packs that power the electric engines.

In the full-electric variant, the 78 is powered by two 217kW electric motors, connected to a 280-490kWh battery pack, which is powered by sun and generators.
