The Sun Concept EVO 7.0 Cruise is a refined electric solar cruiser designed for private users seeking silent, low-impact day boating on protected waters. With its compact footprint, comfort-focused layout, and energy-efficient systems, it offers a relaxed cruising experience without compromising performance. 

At just 6.98 m LOA with a beam of 2.40 m and draft of 0.40 m, the EVO 7.0 Cruise is nimble while offering generous deck space and thoughtful finishes. Its dual motors and battery banks are backed by a solar array that helps sustain longer periods afloat. 

Performance is balanced between speed and endurance: the vessel can reach up to 7 knots, while cruising at 6 knots allows for up to 14 hours of operation. At maximum speed, endurance is about 4 hours. Under lower speeds or ideal solar conditions, the range is described as “unlimited.” 

Solar capability is built in: nine 170 W solar panels (total 1.53 kW peak) contribute to energy supply, offsetting dependency on shoreside charging. The system is engineered so that in low consumption states, solar input and battery output balance to extend time afloat. 

Interior layout balances privacy and openness. The Cruise variant emphasizes refined finishes, comfortable seating, and a setting that suits family and personal cruising over commercial use. Helm visibility, usable deck flow, and sustainable systems align for a pleasant experience.
