The German based manufacturer of electric yachts and floating solutions has signed contracts with environmentally conscious yachting dealers from across the world. Alva Yachts has seen strong interest from dealer partners in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Middle East, and ASIA. However North America is particularly strong. This is driven by incredibly strong consumer demand for luxury solar powered catamarans.

USA
Alva Yachts has appointed Yacht Sales International from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as the sole distributor for North America.
Beside the main headquarters, the Company also has offices in Cape Coral (Florida), Annapolis (Maryland) and Chicago (Illinois).
Yacht Sales International has already purchased the first Ocean Eco 60 as their demonstration yacht, which will be used in key boat shows and for promoting the brand across the USA. They are also already in advanced conversation with multiple customers who want to purchase an Ocean Eco 60 and the Ocean Eco 90 Explorer yachts.
Mr. Udo Willersinn, founder and CEO? at YachtSalesInternational, states: “With over 5 years’ experience of educating customers and marketing efforts, we have a large customer base of electric/hybrid enthusiasts. Alva Yachts brings a logical progression in size/range capabilities from our current electric/hybrid offerings. The shallow cruising waters in South Florida, as well as the Caribbean and Bahamas makes catamarans an attractive solution”.
He then adds: “Alva Yachts is our next step in offering a line of yachts that align with our value proposition to provide North America with a sustainable and eco-friendly solution to yachting. As our climate changes, we also must change. Alva provides a sensible solution to emission free cruising with comfort and longevity. Living off the grid, silently becomes the new normal with Alva Yachts”.
NORWAY AND BALTIC AREA
Arctic Cruise in Norway AS (ACIN) has been into the market since 2015, and is now partner for distribution of Alva Yachts for Norway. Based in Tromsø, the Company first business is offering HNWI the cruise of their dreams, offering them the best experience in the Arctic area aboard emission- and noise- free yachts. Northern Lights (aurora borealis) and midnight sun are best enjoyed while in total immersion with the nature:
“that is why ACIN went to look for a shipyard capable of building electric yachts with top-notch technology, and found in Alva Yachts the right partner. In particular, yachts by Alva had not only the electric engine, but also an exchange system for heating / cooling system, exchanging seawater into heating, a very important issue when travelling in the Arctic and part of the ECO perspective”, says Kurt Arild Larsen, founder and CEO at ACIN.
OCEANIA, UKRAINE, CYPRUS
Sunpower Yachts Australia has signed an agreement with Alva Yachts and will be the exclusive distributor and dealer for the Alva Yacht brand in Australia and New Zealand.

Their customers want to enjoy the pleasures of cruising in crystal-clear waters, but in a silent and environmentally conscious way. Grant Hudson and Mathias May, founders of Sunpower and Alva resepectively, share the same passions as they both love cruising and enjoying the ocean, and wish to protect it for generations to come.
MIDDLE EAST – GCC COUNTRIES
