South Africa’s Xquisite Yachts launches its flagship solar hybrid catamaran

South African yacht company Xquisite Yachts announced on December 24 that its latest flagship, SIXTY SOLAR POWER, has been successfully launched. This is a 60-foot solar-powered hybrid catamaran built in Portugal.

Developed over two years by Xquisite in collaboration with Dixon Yacht Design, the solar/electric/diesel propulsion delivers quiet, zero-emission cruising through its innovative hybrid powertrain system, allowing for extended time at sea and significant fuel savings.

The standard power unit is two Volvo IPS D8 700 pod drives that give it a top speed of more than 20 knots, providing up to 24 hours of service without running the engine to charge.
