Our niche of expertise is converting yachts with antiquated propulsion systems to hybrid electric or all electric propulsion. Shipyards, captains and superyacht owners contract Sea3 for greener boats. We find the biggest challenge for yachting clients to reduce hydrocarbons with an electric or hybrid propulsion system refit is cost. While it’s certainly worth it to have a boat with no emissions, it may not be in your best interests if those costs outweigh the benefits.

Sea3 provide designs for complete hybrid electric conversion and hull modification with next generation whole vessel digital control systems, the future of automation in the yachting industry. Sea3’s next generation whole vessel digital control system is the future of automation in the marine industry.

Yachts greater than 25 meters with displacement hulls are generally the best candidates for conversion to electric propulsion, excluding outboards. Cruisers present unique opportunities as do multihulls, especially large trimarans and catamarans exceeding 15 meters. Sportfishers could use electric propulsion for trolling, but emotions and superstition run high here.

Let’s chat about the pros and cons regarding converting your vessel from diesel power to hybrid-electric, electric power or solar. We’ll execute your refit and repower integrating the proper systems and controls.
