Technology

Powered by the sun.

A solar-electric drive designed to work quietly in the background.

The loudest sound on board is the water.

Electric motors make no fumes and almost no noise. Conversations carry on at normal volume, and you can hear the sea around you.

How the drive works

From the sun to the propellers.

1 · The sunCharges every dayThe solar roof charges the battery at anchor, at the berth and under way.
2 · The batteryStores the energy48 V. Also charged at the dock or by the on-board generator.
3 · Electric driveTurns the propellersTwo electric motors move the boat, almost without a sound.
4 · Cruising speedAround 8 knThe optimal cruising speed of the SAMAR 50.
Serial hybrid (standard): electric motors drive the boat, top speed approx. 11 kn; a diesel generator charges the battery when you want to go further.
Parallel hybrid (option): electric motors for silent cruising, plus two diesel engines for more speed, up to approx. 14–15 kn.

Deliberately simple

“For us, the most important aspect of the technology is that it works quietly in the background.”

Dr. Stephan Kress, CTO and Co-Founder

The system runs on a robust 48 V low-voltage architecture and is modular by design. As batteries, solar panels and motors keep improving, a SAMAR can be upgraded with them, so the boat gets better with age.

A day in the sun

Every sunny day adds to your range.

Leave her at the berth from Monday to Friday, and on Saturday you come back to a full battery: enough for around eight hours of silent cruising. Ask us for the full table of consumption figures.

The details

Details that make the difference.

Hull

Optimised with CFD

The hull is refined with computational fluid dynamics for low resistance at cruising speed.

Propellers

Custom 3D-printed

Designed for each SAMAR model and 3D-printed, instead of taken from stock.

Gearboxes

Made for the drive

Custom gearboxes matched to our electric motors and propellers.

Electrics

48 V low voltage

A low-voltage system that is safe on board and simple to service.
