The Rossinavi SOLSEA hybrid-electric catamaran, designed by Yves Béhar and unveiled at Design Miami 2024, is a striking example of modern luxury and sustainability. The vessel, which took three years to develop, showcases Béhar's innovative design approach, blending eco-friendly technology with high-end aesthetics.
Here are some standout features:
Sustainability: The use of solar panels cladding the exterior surface helps generate electricity for the yacht. The hybrid-electric propulsion system ensures the yacht operates on green fuel, significantly reducing emissions, noise, and vibrations for an environmentally friendly sailing experience.
Cork Flooring: In collaboration with Amorim, Béhar opted for cork flooring instead of traditional teak, reinforcing the yacht's sustainable ethos. The soft matte wood tones and bouclé textiles further enhance the eco-friendly yet luxurious interior.
Innovative Features:
Full-width Hydraulic Rear Door: This transforms into an open space for watersports and activities, allowing the owner and guests to enjoy the sea.
Mechanical Hardtop Lounge Pool: A versatile design that allows the hardtop to lower during cruising, maximizing natural light and ventilation.
Elevated Bar: Positioned on the sundeck, the bar connects seamlessly to the raised lounge, offering panoramic sea views and natural light through the skylight.
Owner’s Cabin: The owner’s suite spans the entire width of the yacht, offering 180-degree views from every seating area. The space is designed for ultimate relaxation and ocean views.
Electric Power Efficiency: The SOLSEA can operate 100% on electric power during day trips, reducing to 90% electric for multi-day journeys, and even 80% electric during transatlantic crossings. It can be fully recharged in approximately five hours using shore power.
Interior & Exterior Harmony: Béhar meticulously curated both the interior and exterior to ensure a cohesive aesthetic, using natural, earthy palettes and creating a serene environment that mirrors the calming influence of the sea.
The SOLSEA catamaran is more than just a vessel; it’s a testament to the future of yachting, where sustainability and luxury coexist seamlessly.
