When I saw the announcement about Marco Casali's VISION E Superyacht I was intrigued. Marco is one of yachting's most successful designers and has a keen awareness of the importance of pushing the industry towards sustainability. I called him to ask for more information, and this is what I found out.
WoW, here i was thinking that many of us are 'pushed' into catamarans for solar solutions (Silent and SunReef) and now there is this mono-hull solution. I love it, love the design, love the cross breeze option and it is just bloody amazing to look at. I loved the historical insight, learned something again, thanks for that David.
Just curious about what's wrong with catamarans? Wider, shallower drafts, much more efficient at sea, and no call for energy-sapping stabilization. The cranes that remove them from the water are cheaper as well. What is the downsize of a superyacht catamaran?
Other than an occasional side-rolling sea, I can't think of a downside (to catamaran) - unless they just don't fit in marinas or between bridge spans? They have to be a little less-tall & more wide, which means they fit under bridges better too.
@@EdwardTilley the part that you say 'whats wrong with ..... 'is purely in your own mind. Nowhere in my statement was anything negative about cats. I only mentioned that till now there was only one option. Now we have two! and for your info i love Sunreef.
@@patrickabas1112 Hmmm - I'm not giving you a hard time; I am asking because I am wondering which to prefer myself. When you mentioned monohull, it sounded like you have been waiting for this option to come along. As near as I can tell, stabilization and fitting into older marinas, is the advantage that monohulls have over cats. Cats are more efficient at sea. Now that the monohull decks are folding out for more width, they seem like the more stable and spacious vessels.
@@RandomGuyRandomNumber The classification society is an interesting point. Cantilevered solar panels make a lot of sense, and I don't think I've seen anything on a large boat.
@@RandomGuyRandomNumber by the way I'm also the designer of Silent yachts and yes Michael and Heike Kohler are a real top reference for solar panels on yacht. Have you ever seen our S-100 ?
Hi, it wasn't the Latitude act. It was the Longitude Act of 1714. Latitude was worked out relatively easily using the sextant and measuring the angle of the sun and stars to determine your Latitude. Longitude was the tricky one, needing the accurate timepiece to determine you longitudinal position around the globe when combined with speed and distance.
This has a lot of options that I would really want. The opening doors along the side is something I've been wanting and also on multiple decks where suited to create more space and get that air through. I'm keen an a Silent Yacht maybe an 80 and also something like the Tatiana or Tankoa T760 Apache, this one is sort of something in between. Great to see more options out there like this one.
Regarding watches and yachting, I'd love to hear what you, David, and other experienced yachting people think of the Garmin Quatix watch. Actually, a whole video about yachting accessories would be very interesting! :) Happy New Year!
I normally wouldn't go for a yacht like this, but I think I'm falling in love 😍
I disagree. Wider is better because you can add on more solar panels and have more stability. That way you can have triple decks. This ship makes a ton of comfort compromises to get 14 knots.
Great overview, David. Any idea of the starting price for the Vision E?
Another thing with swimming at anchor is that the yacht can swing around/change position at anchor and you might end up swimming back several hundert meters in unfavorable conditions. :D
The back of the pool can be clearly closed with the rotating aft part, also the water level will be pushed higher than the sea one and the pool is clearly fully closed and protected in that way :)
I would like to see a solar or other system to power a 55-60 motor yacht monohull. I just can't see enough real estate on a boat that size to capture solar. I don't think boats of this size can make the transition in the near term because you would definitely need a generator and diesel engine for redundancy and lithium batteries as a fire hazard on a boat would be of major concern to insurers and onboard safety. I think hybrids will have to remain until battery storage is made safe and solar panels can harvest more energy.
I wonder if it could be an option to use the tender when docked as a trolling motor in case of main engine failure.. If the tender is electric then it could take a feed from the main yacht power and may give you a limp home option..
To be honest, you seem more like a Breitling kind of person. Plus they support Red Bull Air Racing. Very cool design and good reasoning behind the need for the pool.
I will not/won’t/don’t/will never “delicately extend my finger and gently press buttons” for anyone but you. LOL! 🤣 Wishing you much success and a wonderful 2022!
This is such a great video. The story about the time piece was a nice surprise.
Happy New Year, David!! 🎉🍾
And a very Happy New Year to you too Randy!
Very cool... Happy new year... :)
David,
Could you please do a segment on yacht insurance(s) policies…
Thank you,

Thank you
This is amazing
Cabo Verde is also good for solar yachts. Not only Caribbeans
What was the name brand of the watch?
Happy New year
Aloha; Happy 2022! Mahalo
I disagree with some of the thought processes for the Vision E.
One of the benefits of solar power is unlimited power to use each day, within your panel's capacity, obviously.
If you don't use it, you gain nothing.
A boat with enough solar panels to move itself, which is the most energy intensive task on board, should be able to run all the other ships systems with ease, including filling a fresh pool daily and the AC.
Don't get me wrong, I love the look and potential of this Vision E, but the benefit of solar actually increases the energy you can "waste" onboard, rather than cause a need to decrease energy usage.
True, but keep in mind that this is just a question of battery size.
200k not a bad way to start the new year!
Can you do personal submarines as well please!
What is de price of this yacht
I need it with armored body and EMPproof system and multi-self recharging system with at least 4 quad swivel jet engine for super fast-flying like a sueprsonic drone and AI robot system for kitchen and surveillance and cleaning and maintenance for traveling the world and 7 seas.
considering that the average yacht you feature burns at least 50 liters of fuel per hour, i'd say we have a long way to go.
Lekker man lekker
Gelukkige Nuwe Jaar Gerhard.
Just an idea, not even a prototype. At least silent yachts produce something.
For yachts / ships synthetic fuel of hydrogen make much more sense. Provided those fuels are made with nuclear power. So there is no air pollution or CO2 emission generating the electricity. Solar will always be structurally unreliable. And can only at best produce limited power a few hours per day.
We have a preliminary study for fuel cells but there are still a lot of problems on how to transfer hydrogen. Solar and electric is completely possible now , hydrogen I hope will be available to all soon!
No ten w.a
Unless Teslal builds it i don't even register it as an electrick ANYTHING.
so, happy new year everybody. and no, i still don't like solar😂 call me a vampire, what ever, lol.
like the watch info, why no real vids of (Silent 80) seems like at least 1 should be built by now? or maybe there's issues because of its size?
You will never get away with your timepieces unseen, David. Have an amazing New Year and keep them coming, boats and watches!
David I have had 3 strokes, I will never own a yacht, but I get so much joy from your channel. Thank you! Through channels like yours and Nick's. Thank you for being you.
Thanks Shane, take care in 2022 and I hope it brings you good health!
What I like about having a pool on the transom like that is that (I imagine) you really feel connected to the ocean.
This is really nice, love the design! I really like having the option to have a balcony off the room and to have the air cool down without using the air conditioner.! Happy New Year David and Crew ✌🏿💞😊
Great one! Love the bit of naval history 😊 Have a safe and happy new year David.
Imagine that this really takes off. Changing the world of yachting and the world of interacting with the ocean.
Can you give us an update to Silent yachts, it's been a while. I was looking at their 62 but I think I am going with ALVA yacht 60. Do you know anything about them? Can you do a video about them too? I understand they were once part of Silent Yachts and then split. There is so much interest in electric yachts but not much reliable information.
buy it
6:36 also our grandparents wanna swim in pool not just jump in ocean lolz
Delicately subscribed ☯️
At first glance, I didn't like it. Then like a magician the reveal of the shell doors (if I understood correctly) and I'm feeling a bit of relief. I am really big on natural light and cross breezes and this idea works wonderful. Thank you!
That is a beautiful streamlined and rather timeless design for a yacht… definitely like what Northrop&Johnson is doing. Wider was also impressive but this is just a step higher in creativity but wider helped advance the beach area design for all future designers
You're almost there. Aquon has arrived so why is everyone so many milestones behind? Their yachts not only are solar powered, but they increase their battery system by 100 fold by using some electricity to turn sea water into hydrogen which is stored at 300 bar in tanks that when needed convert the hydrogen into electricity when needed. No diesel generators on board. I also keep waiting to hear the upgrades of solar to incorporate Perovskite cells which can increase efficiency by as much as 40%. If you are set out to make a world class catamaran that is independent from fossil fuels but still provide the ability to travel globally and be free of the hassles of sails, rigging, tacking, etc., step up to the next level. LEAD the way instead of playing catch-up to what everyone else is doing.
Looks like she will be a pretty lady hopefully the batteries and gens will perform the way they speced them.. Like the porches for the cabins!! That is a super cool idea! Thanks for sharing!
Anyone on the N. American West Coast who can afford this will demand both a pool and a 4-8 person hot tub because you won’t be swimming in Pacific waters 8 - 10 cold water 🌊 🥶 months out of the year!
I hope things go the way you wish in the new year, thanks for all the obvious extra effort you put into all this, the dollar to value ratio cannot be beaten, lol.
How dos that transom convert to a pool? Do you attach nets to it? Otherwise, it's not different than just swimming behind or around the yacht, no?
And if it's a net, what keeps it from floating inward, impinging on the swimming area?
Another Question David...our all the personal toys a yacht owner can have.....and I've seen enough of your videos and you've tried them all. Except the personal submarine for yachts.
good evening, beautiful video and amazing (in the sense of discovery in good). And happy new year to you and to all full of good and beautiful things
luv it wish it could do 18 knots
It could but it will use a lot of energy for doing this reducing the range..... We decided to promote our first VisionE with the clear intent of a longer range but what you ask is completely feasible! :)
I wonder why no one has bothered yet to design a trimaran with solar panels. It should have a good relationship between speed and surface area.
Interesting idea! Thanks for watching.
Not enough information about the yacht, to much about chronometers…..
Nice yacht. Lots of options. I especially liked the pool story. My solution to showing up to a location with jellyfish is one of those floating pools with the netting that prevents jelly fish from getting in.
Those ocean pools are huge sellers currently. Especially the ones with the nets.
I, like many of your viewers, was taken by the Ulysse Nardin story though I don’t have the navigation skills to take you to task on the details. I will however investigate UN chronometers. The vision E project is an interesting concept but the vessel’s lines are not to my taste.
Thank you for the excellent presentation. Beautiful boat.
But where can I buy this yacht? Can't find seller
JUST NOT THE SAME AS A SILENT YACHT...A WANNA BE COPY!!
TNX! Happy New Year 2022 David :)!
Yeah, hybrid system is the best
In the Water.... On the Menu!
great video. I'm still sold on Silent because I like to wider space but this boat is amazing!
David, Is there a standard maritime handbook with rules and regulations around the world? Like when entering certain waters are you expected to follow certain rules. Also when designing a yacht how can you find out what the maximum height, beam, draft and length can be. I realise there might be some restrictions depending on who is building the yacht and their facilities, but how do you know what bridges or ports/mariners can or can't handle certain sizes?
Is there a standard maximum?
Now we’re getting interesting.
My clicked made 1K
Looking forward to your review on the silent yacht 80
buy it
Not a fan of solar.
Perfect
Happy Happy New Year David! Thanks for all the great videos and many blessings for 2022!
The mystery of the watch has been solved. David you and Aquaholics have the same tastes in watches. Yet here is a question, If a personal Submarine made by U-boats is purchased are the submarines designed to fit certain yachts or should the sub be considered prior to purchasing the yacht and the deployment of the personal watercraft..is toy.
Brilliant! Casali is a master :)
Looking forward to the short videos David . Also looking forward to new Super yachts videos in 2022 :)
Thanks Cary, I'm about to go into the studio and film some shorts and a vlog...and have four yacht walkthrough videos lined up to film in the next 8 days!
Happy New Year David.
Happy New Year, David!😉
Hi Jens. A Happy New Year right back to you 😁
could you imagine the toxic wates site this thing would create if it was sunk all those batteries and all of the toxic metals for the solar panels would destroy ecosystems

Genuine question here...Why no wind generators on yachts? An eyesore perhaps, but it would provide addition energy. Also perhaps a tidal generator while at anchor?
No to me helicopter fly look be life jenius komersil. Luke to speaker......... Legion amezing and tre cher
