The art of slow cruising

They set themselves the mission of making sailing eco-friendly and sustainable. These innovative players unfurl a wind of change in the world of yachting.

During the Cannes Yachting Festival 2023, Symphony Marine – founded in 2019 by Guy Marchal – unveiled its first autonomous catamarans: Whisper Yachts. 100% solar-powered with eco-friendly design, they offer an unprecedented sailing experience: a blend of luxury, comfort, and ecology. Photovoltaic panels, batteries powered by multiple sources of energy, back-up generators… everything is designed to minimize their carbon impact on the environment. With a cruising speed of 5 to 6 knots and unlimited autonomy, these yachts promise silent sailing far from the bustle of the modern world. As well as using non-polluting materials, this fine orchestrator in Nice aims to make its yachts 90% recyclable by 2030. When docked year long, they provide green energy for the marina’s infrastructures.

Silence in calm waters

For several years, sailor and Olympic medallist Marc Pajot has designed a new breed of catamarans. Real concentrates of technologies, his "eco-yachts" glide silently on the waves thanks to solar energy with panels integrated into the structure, and guided by ingenious sails without booms for serene, environmentally friendly navigation. Resulting from the expertise of the trio of engineers Nicolas Fauroux, Franck de Rivoyre, and Christophe Larose, the design presents a hull with low hydrodynamic drag and no emissions of CO2. The catamarans also offer over 2,152 sq.ft. of space to be fitted out, sumptuous cabins with private terraces, and sublime outdoor areas. And to top it all, high couture design with high-spec furnishings!

A pioneer in eco-responsible yachting, winning many awards for its avant-garde models, the Polish multihull designer Sunreef Yachts – founded by French entrepreneur Francis Lapp – redefines the norms of luxury and sustainability in its latest gem: the Sunreef Explorer Eco 40M. Autonomous and self-sufficient, this electric catamaran boasts composite integrated solar panels – technology patented by the builder of the same name, providing an inexhaustible source of clean energy. Spacious cabins, a large suite with its private terrace… Sailing enthusiasts will also appreciate the spacious interiors hosting a movie lounge, library, or gym, as required. Plus a huge aft beach club for relaxation, exploring the coasts, and contemplating the beauty of the seven seas.

Une navigation douce sans émissions, dans un confort absolu et avec une empreinte écologique minimale.
