On the occasion of the Monaco Yacht Show 2024, Rossinavi will unveil their latest 43-meter yacht, Seawolf X.

This catamaran, designed in collaboration with Fulvio de Simoni Yacht Design for the exterior and Meyer Davis Studio for the interior, represents Rossinavi's flagship of the new superyacht generation. It is the first vessel in Rossinavi's fleet labeled BluE to be hybrid-electric and equipped with AI that continuously monitors onboard consumption. Seawolf X has already been delivered and will be previewed at the Monaco Yacht Show 2024.

Seawolf X's main technical features include:

  • Three performance scenarios:
    • On one-day trips, the catamaran is able to cruise in full electric mode for 100% of the time.
    • On multi-day trips, the catamaran can cruise in electric mode for 90% of the time.
    • Transatlantic trips enable the catamaran to cruise the Atlantic for 80% of the time in electric mode.
  • The Hibernation mode, kicking off when the catamaran is moored, reduces consumption to a minimum and the energy generated can be given back to the quay or to a private property. Seawolf X supplies enough energy to charge up an entire villa.
  • Two diesel generators that can quickly recharge batteries.
  • Fast charging: the ability to recharge at the shore power in only five hours.

"Installing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system for power management on vessels is a significant innovation in the nautical sector, aimed at optimizing fuel consumption and supporting the crew. This technology not only enables more efficient navigation but also represents a concrete step toward future-ready vessels," commented Federico Rossi, COO of Rossinavi.

Rossinavi AI technology

Rossinavi has also developed an onboard artificial intelligence system, called Rossinavi AI, to improve comfort and maximize the yacht's green potential. Artificial intelligence constantly analyses the operation of the vessel; it is a brain that can learn from observation and predict the needs of guests on board. Rossinavi AI continuously dialogues with crew members in permissible ways, advising them to favour lower-impact behaviours and educating them on conscious cruising. The result is flawless and seamless navigation tailored to the needs of the guests on board. The AI software is also able to monitor the battery pack to keep it in a range of 20 to 80 percent, the ideal range to ensure greater longevity of the battery pack, as well as supervise and interact with the crew.

BluE Philosopy

In 2022, Rossinavi revolutionized its approach to innovation, prioritising environmental impact in its vessel designs. Enter BluE, Rossinavi's pioneering vision realized through hybrid-electric yachts. These vessels are propelled by batteries and solar panels, enabling them to operate in electric mode for day trips 100% of the time and sustain electric mode for 80% of transatlantic voyages. The goal is to reduce CO2 emission.

Inspired by the remarkable abilities of phytoplankton to harness sunlight for energy, BluE embodies a new philosophy in superyacht design. Like their natural muse, these vessels absorb sunlight during the day, utilising photovoltaic technology to convert it into energy. This energy is stored in advanced batteries and released at night, creating a bioluminescent effect akin to glowing plankton.

With a focus on sustainability, BluE sets a new standard by harnessing clean energy to power luxury travel, demonstrating Rossinavi's commitment to innovation with a conscience.
