The panels take energy from the sun and store it in the battery packs that power the electric engines, providing her with a transatlantic range and virtually unlimited autonomy.

Her main saloon has also been adapted to remove the helm station, while her enclosed upper bridge with 360 degree views, can be used as a saloon, skylounge or owner’s stateroom.
The second hull is the open version of the Ocean Eco 90 and boasts an open flybridge and helm station. She also includes a sky lounge, cocktail bar and Jacuzzi on her top deck. Both versions offer a large beach club, watersports and entertaining areas coupled with the spacious above deck living and entertaining zones that provide a modern ocean lifestyle.
