Electric Yachts look like they are here to stay, and we have probably only just seen the start of the electric revolution. I was excited at the opportunity of following a conversion project, taking a yacht built in the 60's and equipping her with diesel electric power, but there are many other alternatives on the market too. Here are just some of them.

Diesel-Electric has moved on greatly in the last few years. Much quieter than the norm. On the 75m 'Leander G' we had one Azimuth rotational 260hp stern jetdrive thruster. Great for going through canals and docks. Ideal.
@01.10, surely you meant 120 yrs ago and not “Twenty” yrs ago, lol. Fascinating video as always! 👍😀
Oops. Yes…120!
I'm no treehugger, but I am a huge fan of efficiency. Where those 2 things intersect, I support it.
I've just stepped off a huge yacht in Holland that I'm hoping to film next month (if she doesn't sell first). Speaking with the shipyard it's clear that efficiency is the focus of just about ALL yacht builders now!
It's great to see that you didn't put the entire title in capital letters, thanks man
The problem with a diesel electric boat was demonstrated on the yacht 'Home' during a season of Below Deck: Mediterranean. The yacht lost power in high winds which meant the stabilizers went off, as did the engines and the anchor gear. The yacht was severely yawing to one side and in edition they were being pushed into rocks.
That could happen to ANY yacht. If anything a diesel/electric yacht would be LESS susceptible to such a problem, as if the engine/generators cut out, it would still have 8-12 hours of full power in it's batteries.
Hope your belly feels better. Thanks for all the great info!
1:05 did a double take at the maths 😂
Thank you 👍🏼
Hands down, I would go for the SunReef Eco series. Not sure if I would go for the sail version as the sail version has some advantages but also is a lot more expensive and, when watching many cat sailing channels, I see that cat's are motoring 70% of the time. Better have to a dedicated Eco motor version instead of a sail version.
On a different topic, looking forward to yet another Icon conversion coverage.
For the eco conscious, a sail electric would makes a bit more sense than a regular electric eco cat. Especially with Sunreef. Aside from the solar panels, batteries are getting recharged with the propellers as the vessel is being dragged by the sails. This I believe is great for power supply redundancy. A real innovation. Sails on a cat can be an eyesore but sunreef has nailed it IMHO👍
I have been dreaming and designing a rugged, long range explorer yacht in my head with a diesel-electric power generation system. Makes me happy seeing the concept becoming more reality. :)
Wider 150 with the side patio in the owners state room where you can sit and have your morning coffee ☕️ while waiting to watch the sun 🌞 come up 🆙 was a video favorite 🤩 Cecilia
It’s still one of my favourites!
@@Yachtsforsaleblog I watched it again earlier this morning because it had been so long time since I’ve seen that video wow 😯 what a huge beach 🏖 club area
Very informative. Looking forward to the next episodes
I like the modern sun Reef Yacht, since it has so much solar Panels and it produces a lot of Energy with them. Also the Wind generaters are Great. But i have to say i am still in love with the Wider Yachts. They Look so beautiful and are just amazing in the way the boat is organised.
Walkthrough tour video of feadahip savannah needed
Im certainly up for that!
Another Great Video, Love to see larger yachts going Electric
Ted, I can send you a list of at least 20 diesel-electric superyachts in the range between 60 ... 180 m LOA, built during the last 20 years.
great episde! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@Yachtsforsaleblog 👍👍
Great Intro, it surely gets your attention from the beginning. Great Video as usual., should this have been on the Yacht Builders TH-cam Channel? Loved it.
Hey David, I'm really surprised the Brand Silent-Yacht is not featured here, especially knowing you used to mention them quite often in the past. You probably know something we don't. I'm not optimistic though. Anyhow thanks again for the video👍.
Thanks for watching. Silent Yachts are still going strong, I just wanted to focus on diesel electric and hybrid options with this video, Silent are very invested in Solar.
That was among the best of your videos to be certain, and the best explanation of hybrid drives on the internet. You could probably spin it off as its own video on hybrid now and future. Hydrogen is coming, thorium nuclear?, maybe; because, Russia is running icebreakers on nuclear (plutonium I think). One golf ball of thorium has the energy of 20 fuel carrier train cars and aircraft carriers don't have to refuel for 50-years.
Looking forward to welcoming you at the yard again ;)
Electric propulsion is risky if you consider that a hair dryer is essentially just a propeller driven by an electric motor and I wouldn't recommend throwing that into a tub of the water... so I stick to sails; seems a lot safer.
Great video by the way.
Wow you're good at math Dave 1:05
Groan...my mistake. My Maths teacher will be turning in his grave now!
Fantastic video
Thanks so much!
Any Nuclear powered yachts?
Beyond 37 looks a cool approach to balance the old new technologies, although the Wider yachts are awesome as well, hmmm tricky choice
The thumbnail is awesome, did you have to take more than one try to get the look you wanted 😮 😅
Great vlog David, I love how the yards are trying to be innovative about propulsion (albeit slowly). Surprised that you didn't mention Artefact (2020 Nobiskrug) though.
ARTEFACT deserves a video all to herself. I met the owner at an Awards Ceremony last. year and also have good connections with the shipyard. It's highly unlikely I'll be able to film the yacht but it could be interesting vlog content!
@@Yachtsforsaleblog It would indeed. Looking forward to that, and to the one you're making about Arionas 😊
First thing I thought of "Wider 150."
and what is the Dutch STEELER 61 S ELECTRIC then . not worth mentioning ? not the fastest and not the biggest, but what a fantastic project.
Stanley Myers converted a car engine to run on any type of water. He drove it across the United States to show how reliable it was. He's not the only one though. I've seen the same done with motorcycle engines. Imagine that, imagine having a boat engine that ran on sea water. Crazy stuff I know. Apparently they poisoned this geezer because he wouldn't sell the patent. I think it boils down to the Rockefeller family and it's stranglehold on the oil industry.
Silent Yachts 80 is very nice. Ideally - a Yacht can be self sufficient and run forever on endless powersupply of the Sun. A Solar Sail cat combining Wind & Solar power would be Ideal !
[ With a back up gas or diesel engine ... just in case :-) ]
That's exactly why I'd choose a sunreef eco sail over a Silent yacht. The Sunreef has solar panels sure, but also batteries that are getting recharged with the propellers as the vessel is being dragged by sails, thus offering some real power supply redundancy.

What about the Columbus 40S Hybrid yacht from 2014...that's fantastic and surely at the forefront of diesel electric power?
Your garden...or rather your former garden as you told us. Sorry David. I also got divorced recently. Besides leaving me with all 4 kids, she took a box full of my prized Boba Fett collection. You lost your garden, and presumably your house and I lost a buncn of toys devoted to a character that had 4 lines of dialogue. I think we both got it bad. But you have your video team, parties, dinners, get togethers, superyachts and exotic locales, I have Chik-Fil-A I can barely afford and 4 kids I love more than anything else. Even Boba Fett.
Cliff, you crack me up sometimes!
Remember, you also have The Mandalorian now!
🤔 very interesting
Glad you enjoyed it
I am still struggling with this. So diesel-Electric IS Serial Hybrid isn't it? Does the B.Yond system ( and Bering) prove that parallel hybrid is still more efficient than serial? if so then why is the Wider system so admirable? for the quietness and vibration reduction? and why did Arksen choose a Serial system from Praxis instead of a parallel?
I love the idea of a high efficiency hull, Sharrow high efficiency propellers and a variety of electrical generation modes, including diesel generators.
I finally caught you in a lie. _There's no such thing as too much Mexican food._
It would be cool if somebody built a yacht with a decent sized with wind energy generating turbine integrated into the superstructure.
What’s the pile of stuff on ur desk?
Trains have been diesel-electric for decades. It makes perfect sense that the yacht industry does the same.
1:05 You mean 120 years ago.
Did he say 1903, 20 years go?
👍👍👍👍👍
Sunreef eco if i was going completely sway from fossil fuels. Otherwise I would choose the B.Yond 37
No not the small eat CRN has just launch th B-Yone 37m .
Not sure I understand your comment...but BYOND is definitely a Benetti, not a CRN 😁
When will an H.H.O system be integrated into the yachting world!
This year. Lurrsen built it
Isn't there z yacht that is using 4 Hyundai generator as the main energy system? I inow Cummins has a line of generators and engines. Volvo obviously is there. Now we just need a Ford Coyote 5.0L
I'm disappointed with Wider's lack in marketing their vessels. I've completed the application for information and have never received a reply!
bro 1903 is 120 years ago...
🤦♂️
Batteries hold Wh (watt-hours), not Watts. And something doenst add up here, because 30 Tons for 1 MWh would be 30 Wh/kg which is nowhere near the capacity of LiPo, LION or LFP batteries, who range around 150-180 Wh/kg.
There's a tendency to switch to petrol engines with catalysts for smaller yachts in order to meet emission standards. Why not for superyachts?
Lithium batteries are still a huge safety hazard. If they catch fire and explode you don't stand a chance, no matter where you are on the yacht.
Thanks for commenting. I’m afraid you’re mistaken in that no smaller yachts are switching to petrol engines, they are however using diesel engines with a filtering system that acts like a catalytic converter. This is true of all yachts though irrespective of size.
@@Yachtsforsaleblog Thanks for the info. The engines I was thinking of are the 430 hp Volvo V8 petrol engines, with an engine block by GM, introduced 5 years ago or so. I don't have any sales figures, but it's my understanding that emission standards inside marinas have encouraged Volvo to introduce this new line.
Is that a wrong assumption?
Go Electric.
1903...20 years ago? David, I think you need to get back aboard Unbridled and take another vacation. Or did you have too much Preseco before recording the voice over? Lol. It's fine, we all make mistakes.
You mean ONE HUNDRED and twenty year ago no 🥴🤔
Yep...as they say in the USA "My Bad".
@@Yachtsforsaleblog I had to skip back twice to check!! LOL. My choice would be the Wider 150 (or 165). About to watch those videos again! THANKS for being so responsive to viewers... it really makes the viewing experience more enjoyable.
the future is only one , HYDROGEN !
Sorry, but hydrogen 'alone' is a seriously stupid idea. Hydrogen tanks would be enormous, leaky, and extremely dangerous. A hydrogen fuel cell using hydrogen pulled from methanol fuel on the other hand would be quite viable. This is by the way precisely the technology being used by Lursen with their system.
th-cam.com/video/f7Pl8SLMZIo/w-d-xo.html 1903... That'll be 120 years ago not 20 😉
Holland does not exist anymore... Holland was split into The Netherlanders, Belgium and Luxembourg
I'm reading this comment sat in Schipol Airport 😂 Most Dutch people (Netherlanders?) roll their eyes when I ask them about whether I can say "Holland" or not.
@@Yachtsforsaleblog I know, right... I lived there for several years and Holland just doesn't exist anymore.
The technology's been around for 120 years, but didn't advance because better alternatives were available. If you want an environmentally friendly yachting experience, you need a mast and sails.
you all act like this is something new, electric yacht is a misnomer, freight trains have been diesel electric for decades
More advance- more prone to fail.Staying close to shore only option for this yachts.
Meh. Sail plus all the current energy capture technologies is really the only way to go, any size. It's possible to have complete fuel independence, but, eh, when ya spend $100M on the yacht itself, and maybe $2M per year on crew, what's another $3M a year thrown away in fuel?
I think Oceanco's Black Pearl has already demonstrated zero fuel use.
You can fabricate methanol using water, solar power, and CO2 from the atmosphere. Do that and you can have a carbon neutral power yacht.
electric yacht is a misnomer
diesel electric boat will work, but full electric you'd be lucky to travel very far as the tec isn't there. Look at a car, travel for 3 hours in mine and 12 hours to charge. It's okay around town, but to visit family it's a waste of time and with electric going through the roof it's cheaper to go back to diesel or patrol.
Teslas can charge in 30 minutes. Don't know what car you bought.
Electric sailing yachts from sunreef have a virtually unlimited range though
@@idib1739 electric sail boat? It's either electric or wind powered, which one is it? or are you saying the electric creates the wind haha.
Sail boats as long as they have wind can do on forever and ever. Electric won't get you far at all on it's own. FACT. You can't pull in enough power it takes to run a boat
@@panpiper Tesla Model Y Long Range from empty to full - which has 330 miles of EPA-estimated range - could take up to four days. Where not that great when they first came out where they? 4 days haha and you ask why mine take 12 hours from empty. Don't tell me, you drive for a week and then charge in 30 minutes don't you?
