A render of Rossinavi’s Solsea, designed by Yves Béhar
In a stunning showcase during Miami’s cultural and design week, Italian shipyard Rossinavi has launched Solsea, a groundbreaking hybrid-electric catamaran superyacht. Designed in collaboration with acclaimed designer Yves Béhar, this innovative vessel redefines sustainable ocean exploration, offering a vision of eco-luxury that is both sophisticated and environmentally conscious.
After three years of collaboration, Rossinavi and Béhar have created Solsea for the discerning owner who seeks adventure on the high seas while minimizing their environmental impact. The catamaran operates on electric power for 100% of one-day trips, 90% of multi-day journeys, and 80% during transatlantic crossings, making it a leader in sustainable boating technology. With capabilities for fast charging and a hibernation mode that optimizes energy consumption, Solsea showcases Rossinavi’s commitment to innovation.
Central to Solsea’s appeal is its advanced onboard artificial intelligence system, Rossinavi AI, which enhances guest comfort and promotes sustainable practices. This intelligent system learns from user behavior, optimizing operations and extending battery life through real-time monitoring.
Béhar’s design reflects a deep respect for the ocean, combining aesthetics with functionality. The catamaran features luxurious materials, including durable cork flooring and 100% ocean plastic, while solar panels are integrated into the structure, maximizing renewable energy use without compromising elegance. “Solsea is a return to simpler, more respectful ways to enjoy the oceans,” Béhar states, emphasizing the blend of traditional yachting values with modern technology.
The catamaran also boasts innovative features, such as a full-width hydraulic rear platform for water activities, an expansive owner’s cabin with panoramic views, and a versatile main deck lounge area. Solsea embodies the future of luxury yachting—where cutting-edge technology meets responsible design.
Rossinavi’s BluE philosophy, introduced in 2022, emphasizes environmental responsibility in yacht design. By utilizing clean energy solutions inspired by nature, BluE represents a new standard in sustainable luxury travel, dramatically reducing carbon emissions while enhancing the yachting experience.
With Solsea, Rossinavi is not just building yachts but pioneering a new era of maritime exploration that harmonizes luxury and environmental mindfulness. The vessel stands as a symbol of innovation and excellence, reflecting the shipyard’s commitment to craftsmanship and sustainability in a rapidly evolving industry.
