Rossinavi Launches its First Hybrid-Electric Catamaran SEAWOLF X

By Frances Flannagan

Rossinavi has announced that its first hybrid-electric catamaran has successfully been launched: 42.75m SEAWOLF X. Bearing the BluE label, this futuristic vessel offers exceptional eco-friendly cruising options as well as boasting an array of standout features, from a hidden pool in the bow to a convertible home theatre.

SEAWOLF X is the latest and most innovative project from Rossinavi, featuring exterior design by Fulvio De Simoni and interiors by Meyer Davis Studio. She has been built in accordance with the shipyard’s new sustainable philosophy, carrying the BluE label, and is powered by AI for a greener navigation experience. 

BluE was developed by Rossinavi in 2022: a revolutionary range of hybrid-electric yachts that are propelled by solar panels and batteries. They are able to operate in full electric mode for day trips and 80 percent electric mode for transatlantic voyages. 

She combines a striking design with environmentally friendly solutions, making her an incredibly unique vessel that boasts three performance scenarios. On top of the cruising capabilities of a BluE vessel, she is also able to cruise in 90 percent electric mode for multi-day trips. 

When she is moored, Hibernation mode kicks in, reducing fuel consumption to a minimum. The energy generated can then be given to the quay or private property, supplying enough energy to charge an entire villa. Other innovative aspects of SEAWOLF X are two diesel generators that can quickly recharge batteries and her ability to charge quickly in just five hours. 

‘After years of study and construction, it is now a source of satisfaction and pride for us to witness the launch of Project Sea Cat, now Seawolf X, the first hybrid electric multihull vessel. This yacht showcases remarkable technological innovations in both power management and propulsion technologies, marking the beginning of a new chapter in next generation vessels,’ commented Federico Rossi, Chief Operating Officer of Rossinavi.

An exciting development from the Italian yard is Rossinavi AI: an onboard artificial intelligence system that not only maximises the yacht’s eco-friendly potential but improves comfort onboard. The system constantly analyses the operation of the vessel, in order to predict the needs of the guests. 

Rossinavi AI remains in constant dialogue with crew members to optimise lower-impact behaviours and simultaneously teaches them about sustainable cruising, resulting in a seamless navigation that is customised to the guests onboard. The battery pack is also able to be monitored by this outstanding software, keeping it in a range of 20 to 80 percent to ensure greater longevity. 

Fulvio De Simoni Yacht Design team did an exceptional job at liberating their minds from preconceptions, developing a catamaran that embodies new design possibilities, the result being a sleek and low-profile silhouette, similar to that of a luxury sports car. 

Three separate areas pervade the outdoor spaces: a convivial cockpit set around a pool, a large sundeck and a bow area that features a hidden pool and a convertible home theatre. 

Solar panels have been meticulously integrated into the vessel, ensuring that every aspect of SEAWOLF X’s design has been optimised for eco-conscious cruising. Hull efficiency was also tackled by the development of lightweight solutions, including an anchor installation that enhances aesthetics as well as meeting weight standards.

Fulvio De Simoni, Founder of Fulvio De Simoni Yacht Design, commented: ‘We set out to envision the boat of the future, unbound by convention yet grounded in feasibility with cutting edge technology for minimal environmental impact.’

Superyachts.com would like to congratulate Rossinavi on the launch of this exceptional catamaran, and look forward to following her journey as a yacht that represents the future of the maritime industry.
