In the course of Miami’s cultural and design week, Italian Rossinavi shipyard unveiled its latest creation
Solsea, a supercatamaran project with a length of 43 m and a breadth of 14 m, was developed in collaboration with a famous Swiss designer, Yves Béhar. The project was created for individuals passionate about exploring the seas, undertaking long-distance crossings without refuelling and keen on ocean sports.
Solsea was designed to perform across different scenarios. During short, one-day trips, Solsea can operate 100% of the time on electric power. For longer, multi-day journeys, Solsea can operate 90% of the time on electric power, and is capable of crossing the Atlantic with 80% of the time in electric mode. The catamaran can be fully recharged from the shore power in just five hours. When Solsea is moored, hibernation mode is on and energy can be collected through solar panels and “returned” to power an entire villa.
Solsea is equipped with an advanced onboard artificial intelligence system known as Rossinavi AI, designed to enhance comfort and maximise the yacht’s eco-friendly potential. The AI monitors the vessel's operations, acting as an intelligent system that learns from observation and anticipates the guests’ needs. The AI also offers the crew guidance on efficient operations and monitors the battery pack, ensuring it remains within the optimal range of 20% to 80%, which helps to extend the battery life.
This kind of approach is not new to Rossinavi: in the spring of 2024 the shipyard launched the 42-metre catamaran named Seawolf X equipped with artificial intelligence for enhanced sustainability. Solsea is another interpretation of the same technologies complete with a new design by Yves Béhar.
The key features of the catamaran’s design are elegance and sustainability. The finishing materials include natural and recycled materials such as durable cork flooring, “ocean” plastic and wood.
The owner’s cabin is almost 14 metres wide and boasts a generous space of 70 sq.m, a 180-degree view and a private exterior terrace between the catamaran’s hulls.
On the main deck forward there is an oval pool with a mechanical top covered with solar panels. When the yacht is underway, the top can be lowered. The key standout feature on the sundeck is the bar in the raised lounge area offering panoramic views.
