Pioneering sustainable sailing

For over 20 years, Oceanvolt has been at the forefront of electric propulsion technology, revolutionizing the sailing industry with our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and performance. Founded in 2004, Oceanvolt designs and manufactures cutting-edge electric and hybrid propulsion systems for sailboats, delivering clean, silent, and efficient power solutions.

The passion for sailing was the driving force behind the story of Oceanvolt. The founders saw sailing as a green way to travel but identified one hurdle: the motor. In practice, it is almost impossible to sail without an engine as one needs aid in docking and undocking a sailboat. Usually, this aid is a combustion engine which, besides being noisy, uses fossil fuels that pollute our environment.

The people behind Oceanvolt imagined always sailing in silence, hearing nothing but the sounds of the sea. In 2004, Oceanvoltdecided to make this a reality and the company was born. The vision was to turn the tide in favor of green boating, and it was a success. The company’s electric motors have now powered sailors and boaters around the world for 20 years. Oceanvolt is the leading manufacturer of clean electric power and propulsion systems for boats.

Oceanvolt has created several innovations to make boating even more ecological. In addition to being green, Oceanvolt’s technology also makes sailing safer, quieter, and more pleasant. Oceanvolt’s propulsion systems can charge the boat’s batteries while sailing and this energy can then be used onboard to power the electronics and appliances or charge devices. Alternatively, the motor can save the energy gathered on a windy day to be used later. This was earliero nly possible with a separate diesel generator
