Our solar powered sloops

Solara 450

Our Solara 450 is an electric sloop that charges completely independently of shore power and battery chargers. A unique concept: the sloop runs on solar energy. Because the batteries are continuously recharged day in and day out by the solar panels, it's a simple matter of boarding and sailing away, without worrying about charging, transporting, or connecting batteries. After each trip, the boat is quickly recharged outside, ensuring there's enough power for the next trip. More details and practical information are provided below the photos. This sloop is currently available from our limited stock.

In connection with SAIL Amsterdam, we have some great package discounts . Come see and test sail during the SAIL Sustainable Sailing event on August 22nd and 23rd ( https://www.duurzaam-varen.org/duurzaam-varen-dag-sail   ), or contact us via the contact form for information or a test drive.

Practical

Our boats are unsinkable and virtually maintenance-free. So after purchasing, you won't have to worry about fuel, electricity, or high maintenance costs. A real plus. They're also built with solid, weather-resistant materials and equipped with robust, walk-on solar panels. So you can walk and sit on them. For added comfort, a matching cushion set can be supplied.

These sloops are approximately 4.5 meters long and can accommodate up to 6 or 7 people. They are available starting at €9,950, including solar panels, an electric motor, and a battery. We're happy to discuss your expected boating behavior (such as desired cruising time, frequency, and speed) and other requirements with you, so we can deliver your boat with a customized package. With the right setup, you can sail for several days in a row. Charging time is, of course, weather-dependent, but even in less favorable weather (partly cloudy), the solar panels' charging capacity is more than sufficient to get you out on the water several days a week. A continuous cruising time of up to 30+ hours is possible, and for even longer continuous cruising, a shore power charger can be optionally installed or a home charger can be included. A completely worry-free combination.

Naturally, you can view our sloops, and you can schedule a test drive to experience solar-powered sailing for yourself. Use the link below to discover the options and features available for the sloop, such as lighting, cushions, extra battery capacity, or an automatic rainwater pump. Or contact us using the form below to discuss all the possibilities and to schedule an order.

Artisanal and Sustainable

In the production process, our sloops are manufactured in a traditional and sustainable manner. Craftsmanship is our priority. Because we use existing boats, we make an important contribution to a circular economy.
