Sail in Style: Discover the Ocean Eco 90 - The Superyacht Catamaran of the Future

ALVA YACHTS OCEAN ECO 90 OPEN

Introducing the Ocean Eco 90, a magnificent superyacht catamaran that's about to rock the boating world! Forget about your fancy cars and blistering speeds for a moment, because this beauty is here to steal the limelight. 

The folks at Alva Yachts have gone all out with this one. The first hull is already complete, and they're busy working on the interior to make sure it's ready for a grand launch in late 2023. And guess what? They've got another model planned for late 2024. It's like waiting for a new season of your favorite TV show, except instead of binge-watching, you'll be binge-sailing.

Now, what sets this catamaran apart from the rest? Well, for starters, it's got fully electric propulsion and fuel cell compatibility. That's right, you can sail the high seas without burning a drop of fuel. The roof of this beauty has been specially designed to accommodate 200 square meters of integrated solar panels. It's like having your own personal sun on board. These solar panels will provide up to 40 kWp of power, which is enough to cross the Atlantic. And if that's not impressive, I don't know what is.

But wait, there's more! Solar energy gets stored in massive batteries with a capacity ranging from 240 to 360 kWh. These batteries then power two electric motors with a total output of 500 kW. That's enough power to make even Lewis Hamilton's head spin. The estimated top speed is 16 knots, which is not too shabby for a boat of this size.

Let's talk about the design, shall we? The Ocean Eco 90 has some seriously imposing and modern lines. And you've got two versions to choose from. The Explorer version has an enclosed flybridge, a main salon, and an upper deck that can be converted into a lounge or even an owner's cabin. It's like having a floating penthouse. On the other hand, the Open version has an open flybridge with a helm station, a sky lounge, a cocktail bar, and even a spa. It's a floating party palace. You can sail in style and comfort, my friends.

Inside, there's plenty of space to stretch your sea legs. The living and entertainment areas are spread across a generous 14-meter beam. You've got a large swim platform for taking a dip, water toys for some adrenaline-pumping action, and even aft skirts for easy access to the water. And when you're ready to relax, there are U-shaped sofas in the aft cockpit where you can kick back and enjoy the view. It's like having a luxury beach club on the high seas.

But wait, there's more! The main deck boasts a lavish galley with all the amenities you'd expect, including a fridge-freezer and a large island with a bar. And don't worry, there's plenty of space to wine and dine. The dining area can comfortably accommodate 10 people, so you can host a floating banquet fit for royalty. It's the perfect setting for indulging in exquisite cuisine while the waves gently rock you.

Now, let's venture down to the lower deck. The master suite is a thing of beauty, with sitting areas on either side of the bed, a desk for those important captain's notes, and a dressing room that leads to a private bathroom with a double sink. The starboard hull is home to a twin cabin with its own bathroom, while the port hull boasts two double cabins with bathrooms and two single cabins for the hardworking crew. It's like having a floating hotel but without questionable room service.

Last but not least, let's not forget the front beach. No, it's not an actual beach, but it might as well be. It offers two L-shaped seating areas, large deck chairs, storage lockers, and a cool spot. What more could you ask for? You can relax, soak up the sun, and pretend you're on a tropical island, all while cruising through the open seas.

So, there you have it, the Ocean Eco 90. It's a superyacht catamaran that combines the latest in eco-friendly technology with luxurious comfort. Whether you're an avid sailor or just someone who appreciates the finer things in life, this boat will surely make you the envy of every marina. Just make sure you've got your sunglasses on because the future of yachting is looking very bright.
