Turkish catamaran specialist VISIONF Yachts is celebrating the launch of its first, all-electric catamaran.

With the 24-metre vessel touching water earlier this month at the state-of-the-art shipyard in Tuzla, the VISIONF E-Cat 80 is the first unit in a series representing the next generation of clean, efficient and futuristic yachting.

Crafted from lightweight and robust carbon fibre, this high-tech catamaran showcases clean, contemporary lines by Marco Casali (TOO Design) and twin lean, efficient hulls, with naval architecture penned by Dr Amedeo Migali (MICAD).

The VISIONF E-Cat 80 provides both powerful propulsion and superior manoeuvrability. The two Danfoss electric motors, each has 180 kW continuous; 340 kW peak power, bow thruster and stern thruster offer exceptional agility and control, with smooth handling guaranteed even in the most difficult conditions and a top speed of up to 16 knots.
