Plugboats Guide to Electric Boats Exhibitors: Cannes Yachting Festival 2024
The Cannes Yachting Festival, one of the premier boat shows in the world and Europe’s largest in-water event, is on now in France and has almost 50 (48) electric boat exhibitors, more than ever in its 47 year history.
In the past five years Cannes has been the place for many electric boat announcements and this year is no exception. The electric exhibitors include electric powerboats, electric sailboats, electric motor and drive manufacturers as well as battery and accessory suppliers.
New this year, the Festival has a new area entirely dedicated to new motorboats with 140 boats from 8 – 30 meters (feet) on water and 30 boats under 8m (ffet) on land. Among them are 10 all electric or hybrid models. There are 9 electric sailboats at Cannes and multiple motor, drive accessory manufacturers.
Below are some of the highlighted electric boats exhibitors. At the »» bottom of this page is a Directory of all of the electric boats exhibitors with links to their websites for more information.
Electric Powerboats
Axopar
Axopar is celebrating their 10th anniversary this year, a decade in which it has become one of the most important boatbuilders in the world. At the 2022 CYF they partnered with Evoy to offer sea trials of their Axopar 25e, which went on to win the 2023 Gussies in the Under 8m /26 ft category. In speaking with CEO and Founding Partner Jan Erik Viitala at Boot Düsseldorf this year, he told me that the company would be getting seriously into electric.
True to his word, Axopar has the 25e on the water at Cannes, a new 22 foot model on shore and have announced AX/E, a sub-brand dedicated to fully electric Axopars. “Ten years ago, when we launched Axopar, our vision was to revolutionise the market with something genuinely unique” said Viitala. “With AX/E, we’re advancing that mission by offering a new, sustainable way to experience the water, without compromise. AX/E goes beyond electric propulsion; it’s about creating lasting memories and setting the course for the future of electric boating. Thanks to our collaboration with Evoy, we’ve elevated this vision, seamlessly merging high-performance with sustainability to deliver the best of both worlds.”
de Antonio Yachts
Earlier this year de Antonio Yachts launched their first electric model, the E23. The boat is the official electric boat of the America’s Cup and is in service setting the racecourse and assisting the new autonomous electric racecourse marks throughout the competition. The two aspects of the E23 that stand out are the configuration of the drive train, and the hull. The drive is a Torqeedo Deep Blue 50 (50 kw / ≈80 hp) outboard, but instead of hanging off the transom, it is situated within the length of the boat with a cover / day bed on top.
Read the Plugboats review of the de Antonio E23
The hull is a semi-foiling catamaran, in which a fixed foil wing is situated between the two pontoons to create lift and reduce friction / water resistance. This makes for a very stable ride at all speeds, and when the boat is foiling (it starts at about 14 kt ), the efficiency enables a range longer than an electric planing boat.
Frauscher
In the past two years, a number of electric boat builders have collaborated with some of the world’s best known automotive brands to create e-boats that either use the boat’s drive train and basic design, then enhance it with input from the car builder, or the merge the boat entirely with the EV maker’s motors and design. The Frauscher X Porsche 850 Fantom Air being shown at Cannes is one of the latter.
It takes the best designs and engineering of Frauscher and Porsche, both of whom have long and illustrious pasts. Porsche was founded in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche and Frauscher Boats in 1927 by Engelbert Frauscher. In 1955 Frauscher Bootswerft built their first electric boats, and two years later Ferry Porsche made his dream of a sports car a reality with the 356 model.

Managing Director Stefan Frauscher on the cooperation with the sports car manufacturer: “Frauscher has held a special position in the nautical world for years: On the one hand, we have been specialists in electric boats since 1955 – on the other hand, Frauscher is renowned for high-performance motorboats, even in rough waters. As the only yard that understands both worlds, we were the ideal partner for Porsche to develop an electric boat with the power of a motorboat.”
Greenline
Greenline is one of the pioneers of electric boats and boating, who first started building hybrid electric boats in 2008 and now have 8 models – all of which are available with full electric drive. Their signature hull design is called a ‘superdisplacement’ hull and incorporates the best low-drag properties of a sleek sailing boat with elements of a wider displacement hull for smooth and stable cruising. This gives the yachts the best options for taking advantage of electric propulsion at slower speeds and diesel propulsion when speed is desired.
At lat year’s Cannes they launched their 58 Fly model and are showing it again this year along with two others: The Greenline 45 Fly and Greenline 48 Coupe.

Lumen Yachts
Lumen Yachts is a new electric boat builder from the Netherlands who has their first boat, the LUMEN E10, which ’embodies the spirit of Dutch innovation combined with an iconic Mulder design’ It has been created to provide luxurious, long, peaceful journeys without the noise. Its streamlined hull, developed for minimal drag, improves fuel efficiency, extending the range to 100-160 kilometers on a single charge. A lightweight vinylester hull, constructed with a vacuum-infused sandwich, reduces weight by 50% compared to traditional materials, further optimizing performance.
SILENT-YACHTS
Silent-Yachts, a two time Gussies Electric Boats Award Award winner (2021 and 2022) has a new management team and is showing their Silent 62 3-Deck at Cannes. It is Based on their bestselling Silent 60, but offers an additional third deck instead of the standard upper deck, while also increasing the overall waterline length of the hull by two feet. The third deck is available in three different versions: an open flybridge, an enclosed skylounge as well as an enclosed master owner´s suite.
CEO Fabrizio Ierarra said earlier this year “We’re expecting this boat to attract lots of serious attention at the Cannes show. By fully glazing in the sides of the upper deck, this space becomes a luxurious addition to the interior accommodation. The far-sighted client behind this first example is taking advantage of the floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic views to create a peerless master stateroom on the upper deck.”
Sunreef ECO
Another pioneer advancing green boating in luxry catamarans is Sunreef, who have a sub-brand, Sunreef ECO, dedicated to greener propulsion and innovative new energy solutions. One of the most striking things about the 60 Sunreef Power Eco showing at Cannes is the ‘solar skin’, in which photovoltaic cells are actually embedded in the hull’s composite material. It also features batteries custom-engineered by the SUNreef team to improve energy density by 30% while also being able to retain 80 per cent of their charge after 10 years of use.
TYDE
The ICON from TYDE is another boat that debuted at Cannes in 2023 – but it was not the Yachting Festival but the Cannes Film Festival where the public first got a glimpse of the hydrofoiling boat that resembles a salon flying above the water.
TYDE was founded and is led by the co-founder of Torqeedo, Dr. Christoph Ballin, who joined forces with tech entrepreneur Tobias Hoffritz and by Designworks, a BMW Group subsidiary with studios in Los Angeles, Munich and Shanghai.
Read about the launch of the TYDE ICON
The Icon is 13.15 meters long and 4.5 meters wide. (43 feet x 15 feet), powered by twin 100 kW electric motors backed by BMW batteries with 240 kiloWatthours of energy storage. The hybrid shape of the hull is optimized both for the displacement and foiling modes, giving the vessel a top speed of 33 kn, service speed of 24 and range at service speed of more than 50 nautical miles
Virtue
Poland’s Virtue Yachts is a boat company that DID make their debut at last year’s Yachting Festival, with their electric V10e being named the ‘most innovative boat at the Festival’ by the French magazine ‘Les Moteur Boat’. Featuring twin Breeze 120+ electric outboards by Evoy, the aptly named ‘Electric Blue’ boasts a top speed of 37 knots with a range of approximately 60 nautical miles when cruising at 25 knots. While the V10 at this year’s show is a fossil fuel versions, both V10 models – the Open and Top – can be powered by the twin Evoys, a single Storm 300+ or even twin Storm 300+ electric motors, providing 450 kiloWatts peak power.
X-Shore
XShore arrived at the 2019 Cannes Yachting Festival as one of the first electric powerboats to ever exhibit, showing the world the future of e-boating with the Eeelex 8000 model. In 2024 they again have the 8000 available for sea trials, now being joined by the two other models the company has developed over the past five years: the X Shore 1 and X Shore PRO T-Top. All of them embody the brand’s distinctive Scandinavian design and detailing that blends nature, Swedish maritime craftsmanship, innovative solutions and cutting-edge technology.
Electric Sailboats
Dufour
In late August, French builder Dufour announced that their hybrid ODSea+ package will be available on all new models in the Dufour range. Previously called ‘Smart Electric’, the system replaces a diesel motor with a hybrid electric motor powered by a substantial bank of LiFePO (lithium iron phosphate) batteries that can be charged through regeneration (also called regen or hydrogeneration).
In regen, the electric motor reverses the direction of the current while the boat is under sail power. The moving water spins the propeller, and the motor acts as a turbine to put electricity back into the battery. There is also a diesel generator on board for low wind times when the necesary sailing speeds can not be achieved. At Cannes, four out of the five boats being shown by Dufour already have the ODSea+ package available: the Dufour 41, Dufour 44, 470 and 530.
Elan
In early 2021, Elan became the first sailboat company to offer electric motors across their full range of sailing yachts and model lines: the E-Line, Impression and GT (Grand Tourer). The motors are from Finnish motor company Oceanvolt with options that include the ServoProp variable pitch sail drive that won a DAME Design Award at the METS show in 2017 and the next generation Highpower Servoprop 25 (HPSP25) that won the overall DAME honours last year.
At Cannes, Elan is debuting the Elan GT6 Explorer, that builds on the platform of the multiple award-winning Elan GT6, a 49-foot grand turismo yacht designed by the trio of Elan, Studio F. A. Porsche, Humphreys Yacht Design. Originally designed as a shorthanded Mediterranean mid-range fast cruiser, it has proven to be an ideal foundation for the long-cruise or blue-water variant, now known as the Explorer.
Fountaine Pajot
French sailing cat builder Fountaine Pajot displayed their first electric equipped model in 2019 and since that time have had over 70 engineers working to develop an in-house solution that is 100% adapted to the use of its catamarans. It is now the only shipyard to control all research and development processes internally, without any dependence on engine brands. Two yachts that feature the technology are at Cannes this year, the Astréa 42 and Elba 45.
The F-P solution has a few innovations tailored to make electric propulsion on a catamaran as simple and seamless as possible. The system guarantees a minimum speed of 4 knots if there are very low battery levels & strong winds. In addition, the LiFoPO batteries can be charged through regeneration, solar panels and wind turbines with the technological infrastructure designed to ensure that there is complementarity and redundancy between the systems.
Hanse
The German shipyard HanseYachts, number two in the world’s monohull sailing yacht market, is now in the electric game and is showing the latest addition to their line-up, the Hanse 360, at Cannes. The boat has received almost universally excellent reviews, being praised for attributes like its spacious interior and ease of handling. The company says “The Hanse 360 offers exceptional nautical performance, easy handling, and stunning design. Its hydrodynamic hull, tall sporty rig, and innovative features like the integrated bowsprit and ergonomic cockpit make it a perfect blend of functionality and luxury.” In terms of electric propulsion, the 360 is available with a 25 kW motor and either 18 or 36 kWh battery pack.
Nautor Swan
Nautor Swan, founded in 1966, has established itself as one of the top sailing yacht shipyards for the past half century. The Swan 88 showing at Cannes is the first model fully developed from the outset to offer a hybrid electric propulsion option. The company worked with Torqeedo, who custom-developed a fully integrated Deep Blue system using a 120 kW electric drive system and 160 kWh of energy storage.
The propeller has pitch and performance characteristics that can be changed at the push of a button, allowing for a seamless transition between sailing and motoring modes. Under power, the system delivers high torque and thrust and is optimized for efficiency. In hydrogeneration mode, the Deep Blue algorithms continuously monitor and adjust performance several times per second, providing renewable, wind-powered energy production while minimizing impact on sailing speed. At 8 knots sailing speed, the Deep Blue system generates enough power to maintain self-sufficiency.
“The Swan 88 is the culmination of three years of collaboration between Nautor Swan and Torqeedo’s Customized Solutions team” said Matthias Vogel, senior vice president of the Customized Solutions business unit for Torqeedo GmbH. “It proves that Deep Blue can achieve similar range and performance as a combustion engine-powered yacht and even be fully independent under good sailing conditions.”
Saffier
The Saffier Se 33 Life is noted for being one of the fastest daysailers on the water and took home the prestigious 2022 European Yacht of the Year honours in the ‘Special Yacht’ category. Judge Toby Hodges from Yachting World said “Just when you think they’ve found the perfect daysailer formula, the Saffier guys add more and more sophistication, from the design to the first-class finish.”Judge Loïc Madeline from Voiles & Voiliers summed it up in six words: How could you not love her?”
The Saffier Se 33 is available with a Torqeedo 10 kW POD Electric.
Vaan
Vaan Yachts was founded in 2018 by sustainable entrepreneurs Igor Kluin and Nienke van ‘t Klooster based on the idea that luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand by making clever use of technology and materials.
The company’s motto is ‘Sail The Planet’, and one of their hallmarks is that all of their boats are made of circular materials and almost entirely recyclable. The Vaan R5 with twin 25 kW Oceanvolt HP Servoprops captured the 2024 Sail Cruising category in the Multihull of the Year Awards and the company is showing the slightly smaller R4 at Cannes featuring its unique Vivid Alu finish.

Launched in March of this year, the finish is achieved by carefully sanding the aluminium to a smooth matte finish to give it a raw and tough look. The is made with a 60% recycled aluminum hull and 75% recycled aluminum extrusions. It can be ordered with either twin Oceanvolt 15kW or twin Torqeedo 12 kW motors.
Windelo
Windelo builds advanced eco-catamarans that focus strongly on recycled and bio-sourced materials with the goal of reducing the overall environmental impact of their catamarans by 50%.
This is achieved through several technical innovations, such as eco-friendly composites, interior wood certified by the Forestry Stewardship Council, boat weight, and of course, electric motors. The Windelo 50 at Cannes is a blue water cruising catamaran designed by architect duo Christophe Barreau and Fréderic Neuman that was nominated in the 2024 Multihull of the Year Awards.
They have worked with a variety of companies specializing in inboard electric drive systems for Imoca and Ultime racing yachts, and equip their catamarans with 2 electric shaftline engines of 20kW each, accompanied by 1120Ah 48V lithium battery bank (53,8kWh) by MG Energy.
X-Yachts
The XC-47 was an extremely popular boat at Boot Düsseldorf this past January, with more than 4,500 visitors coming to see the sleek, speedy unit sporting the cutting-edge Oceanvolt HighPower ServoProp electric motors.
X-Yachts is one of Denmark’s best known sailing yacht manufacturers and launched their first electric propulsion model, the X4⁹E, in June of 2022.

Technical Manager John Morsing said he is not at all surprised about the popularity of the electric propulsion. “Electric propulsion opens a world of new opportunities for sailors, and I am sure our sales of electric models will accelerate rapidly in the coming years. We are working closely with Oceanvolt to offer a silent electric engine powered by a lithium battery bank that gives a range of 25 nm. Combined with an 11kw diesel generator, the range extends up to 600 nm.”
Electric Motors
BlueNav
BlueNav is an innovative French company that designs and manufactures add-on retractable electric motors that convert any leisure boat into a hybrid electric vessel. For anyone interested in going electric but also wondering about a combination of propulsions for their need, BlueNav is showing their complete line, including the biomimetic propeller design that is based on the efficiency of whale and dolphin flippers and fins.

Founded in 2020, it has 40 employees working in its home facility and a distribution network that include England, Netherlands, Spain, and the United Arab Emirates. The network continues to grow with new partners in Italy (Incofin) and Turkey (Arti Marin).
ePropulsion
ePropulsion also has major news coinciding with the CYF, announcing that it has established a new business unit – ePropulsion Commercial. The new division will focus on clients who are looking for system integration solutions that can combine different components for a unified, efficient operation. In the case of ePropulsion, this includes their electric propulsion and electronic control systems, Energy Storage System (ESS), DC Bus technology, Power and Energy Management System (PEMS), charging solutions, automation and intelligent technology. The company says these solutions are highly flexible and scalable and can be built and customized based on the functional requirements, speed, range and shore power conditions specific to different vessel types – without compromising on compatibility.
Yanmar
Yanmar, the largest manufacturer of saildrives in the world, is launching its much anticipated first electric model, the E-Sail Drive, at Cannes. The E-Saildrive is available in three models – the SDe7, the SDe10 and the SDe15, delivering up to 15kW of power for sailboats under 40ft (depending on application and displacement). The drive is a drop-in replacement for a YANMAR YM engine, one of the most popular sailboat engines. No hull modifications are needed – making it easy for the boatbuilder to offer interchangeably or introduce an SDe refit. The control system on the new E-Saildrive has a bright and colorful 4.3” optically bonded TFT display unit with IPX7 waterproof rating, and anti-fog coating. Control heads are available as a side mount or top mount with a modern alloy design.
