Alva Yachts Begins Construction on First Ocean Eco 90 Catamaran
Fledgling German builder Alva Yachts has revealed its all-electric 27.5 metre solar catamaran model Ocean Eco 90.
The molds for the hull and superstructure are currently being completed, with the multihull yacht expected to hit the water in late 2021.
Available with hybrid or full electric propulsion, the catamaran features more than 200 square metres of solar panelling. With an estimated cruising speed of 8-10 knots and top speed of 16-18 knots, the Ocean Eco 90 will have a “virtually unlimited range”, according to the builder.

Alva Yachts Launches an Ambitious Line of Eco-Friendly Catamarans and Sustainable Floating Villas
You may not know Alva Yachts by name, but that’s about to change. The innovative new German builder has entered the marine world with a mighty bang, debuting not one but three electric catamarans.
Designed specifically to encourage a “decarbonized” environment after Covid-19, the low-impact vessels utilize high-capacity battery banks, structural solar panels and state-of-the-art water management for true emissions-free sailing.

The International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2020.
OCEAN ECO 90 by HENNDESIGN has been shortlisted for best yacht concept under 40 Metres in The International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2020.
The design of the Ocean Eco 90 by Henndesign is shaped around a new solar and electric approach towards catamaran yachting. Different to other catamarans the technology is not an add-on but a central design feature.
The most obvious feature that underlines that fact is the aggressive roof line that comes down to the hull and therefore creates a larger roof surface for solar panels.
