Rossinavi has launched its latest hybrid-electric catamaran superyacht concept developed in collaboration with designer Yves Béhar to set a new standard for sustainable, silent ocean exploration.
The Solsea project has taken three years of collaboration to develop the catamaran that is suitable for long-distance crossings without refuelling while embodying eco-conscious luxury and advanced design.
Technologies included in Solsea include Rossinavi’s advanced onboard artificial intelligence system – Rossinavi AI designed to enhance comfort and maximise the yacht’s eco-friendly potential.
The AI continuously monitors the vessel’s operations, acting as an intelligent system that learns from observation and anticipates the needs of guests.
Rossinavi AI interacts seamlessly with crew members, offering guidance on sustainable practices and encouraging lower-impact behaviours to provide personalised navigation that adapts to the preferences of those on board.
It’s been an incredible journey to see how Yves Béhar reimagined the naval platform of our hybrid-electric catamaran.

The AI also monitors the battery pack, ensuring it remains within the optimal range of 20% to 80%.
Additionally, it assists and interacts with the crew to maintain efficient operations.
“It’s been an incredible journey to see how Yves Béhar reimagined the naval platform of our hybrid-electric catamaran,” said Federico Rossi, chief operating officer of Rossinavi.
“His fresh, external perspective brought a style that is both luxurious and refined. This collaboration began shortly after we developed the Seawolf X concept three years ago and marks an exciting new chapter for us.
Now, following the success of the first catamaran equipped with artificial intelligence, we’re thrilled to unveil Solsea, a fresh reinterpretation of this cutting-edge naval technology.”
Sustainability features of Solsea include being able to operate entirely on electric power during day trips and 90% of the time on multi-day journeys.
The catamaran can be recharged from shore power in five hours.
When the catamaran is moored, hibernation mode minimises energy consumption.
Energy collected through solar panels can be returned to the quay or private property.
