The Nova Luxe Eight 40 Electric Catamaran redefines sustainable yachting by combining cutting-edge solar technology with spacious, versatile design. At 40 feet in length with a 21-foot beam, this solar-electric vessel is engineered for families, charter operations, or adventurous cruisers seeking quiet, emission-free performance. Its twin 48V direct-drive motors, powered by a 6 kW solar array and a 60+ kWh battery bank, deliver smooth acceleration, long-range cruising, and efficiency that rival traditional powerboats.
Designed with autonomy in mind, the Nova Luxe Eight 40 allows operation for over 10 hours using solar power alone. All household and onboard electronics run effortlessly, providing full comfort without shore power or a generator. Modular 48V systems make maintenance simple and future upgrades seamless, while LifePO4 batteries ensure reliable performance and longevity.
This catamaran’s versatile layouts accommodate both charter and private ownership, offering flexible interior arrangements to suit any lifestyle. With a low draft of 2’5″ and a bridge clearance of 12′, the Eight 40 can access shallow bays and secluded anchorages, expanding your cruising possibilities. Its modern design combines functional open deck spaces with comfortable cabins, creating an environment for relaxation, entertainment, or adventure.
The Nova Luxe Eight 40 exemplifies the future of electric yachting: powerful, quiet, and environmentally responsible. By eliminating emissions and reducing reliance on fossil fuels, it allows you to enjoy extended days on the water without compromise, while helping to preserve the natural beauty of your surroundings.
