Powered by twin 150 kW electric motors, the Oceanwalker S60e offers a top speed of up to 12 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of around 7 to 8 knots.
The move toward sustainable technology in the marine industry continues with the introduction of the Oceanwalker S60e, a new solar-electric catamaran developed by Revolution Marine Group.
Solar-Electric Performance
Powered by twin 150 kW electric motors, the Oceanwalker S60e offers a top speed of up to 12 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of around 7 to 8 knots. While specific figures on battery-only range haven’t been disclosed, the yacht is equipped with two 45 kW diesel generators, which allow for extended travel up to 800 nautical miles when needed.
A key feature of the S60e is its 10 kW solar array, which supplies power to essential onboard systems. Energy collected from the sun is stored in lithium phosphate batteries, supporting daily functions such as air conditioning, electric cooking, and laundry. This setup helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels, especially during shorter journeys or while anchored.
Comfort and Layout
Though full interior details are not yet public, the Oceanwalker S60e is expected to be offered in three- or four-cabin layouts. The aft section features a lounge and dining area, designed for both comfort and functionality. The catamaran’s structure balances open space with energy-efficient systems, making it suitable for extended time at sea.
Under Construction
The first unit of the S60e is currently being built at the Fujian Sky Walker shipyard in Zhangzhou, China, with delivery expected in April 2026. According to Revolution Marine Group CEO Edward Sacks, their engineering team is closely monitoring each phase of the build to meet performance and quality standards.
Club Ki’ama Bahamas Partnership
The initial Oceanwalker S60e will be delivered to Club Ki’ama Bahamas, a new shared-ownership yacht and residence club located near Great Exuma. The club promotes the use of solar energy for both its oceanfront homes and its fleet, and the S60e aligns with that goal.
As more boaters seek environmentally responsible options, vessels like the Oceanwalker S60e show how clean energy and practical design can come together. While it may not aim to revolutionize the industry overnight, it's a clear step toward cleaner oceans and smarter, more sustainable boating.
