With the Whisper 50, the shipyard is pursuing a consistently electrically orientated concept. The boat is based on a catamaran platform around 15 metres long and 6.7 metres wide. Visually, the Whisper 50 has a sober and functional appearance, with a clearly designed superstructure and large windows in the wheelhouse. The propulsion system consists of two electric motors, each with an output of around 100 kW.
They are powered by a lithium battery pack, which is supplemented by solar panels on the roof. The boat is also available in a hybrid version. The available solar surface is one of the defining elements of the concept and is intended to cover a significant proportion of the energy requirements in hotel operation, i.e. when you are only on board without travelling. The aim is not top speed, but low-emission and quiet cruising. The cruising speed is in the lower double-digit knot range, with a maximum speed of around 14 to 15 knots, depending on the load and configuration.
Inside, the Whisper 50 has a classic catamaran layout with a wide saloon on the main deck and several cabins in the hulls. Depending on the version, three or four cabins are possible, supplemented by separate heads compartments. The flybridge offers additional living space and a further covered steering position.
