PROJECT

The design challenge

The problem

Combustion engine design is locking the potential of space usage on boats. Outboards are ugly and the whole stern goes to waste. Inboards are big and most often require a stepped deck design with fixed layouts. The market is flooded with rigid designs, that require you to buy a full package, all at once, with take-it or leave-it attitude, and very little personalization. Every customization, upgrade or update is difficult, costly and may lead to questionable results: aesthetics, quality, durability, safety, time of execution, available choice, second-hand price, and resale. Furthermore, fuel motors require you to carry flammable liquids on board, that can be a cause of spillage, fumes, fire and even, explosion. These motors are so loud, that most of the cruising pleasure is greatly severed, as well as our nature, with the use of fossil fuels and CO2 emissions. All these factors made us wonder: is it possible to make boating more accessible, safe, sustainable, and fun?

The solution

In order to change the game and tackle the above-mentioned challenges, we decided to create a modular watercraft platform, with electric propulsion. Electric motors are smaller, lighter, and quieter. They consist of fewer moving parts, meaning they are more durable and are easier to maintain, repair, replace, or recycle. They can use energy from multiple sources and have no exhaust emissions. By integrating the motor and the electronics in the heart of the platform, we have achieved unprecedented design possibilities: an 97 sq. ft unobstructed flat deck on a 19 foot hull. As for the hull design, we’ve looked at 1000s of boats and opted for a semi-displacement body, as the best compromise between safety, comfort, and performance. As for everything else, we developed a flexible modular system and intuitive online configurator with which our customers have the complete freedom to create a perfect custom electric boat for any purpose.

The electric motor is 100% recyclable since the majority of its components are made from metal. Furthermore, we ensure that all the materials we use, from hull to decking, are environmentally friendly, complying with the latest regulations.

Exclusive access

Go to places other cannot and get access to national parks and reserves thanks to the magic of electric propulsion. With zero-carbon emissions and silent drive, you can spend your time in the nature to the fullest, without disturbing the environment.

Hull design

Timeless curves

SAVVY’s iconic design is inspired by the great white shark, exploration and the timeless classics. The hull incorporates clean, straight, and functional lines, allowing maximum space usage with sleek, never-ageing style.

Unobstructed stern

The water-level open stern sets the new standard in accessibility, pleasure and functionality. Whether it is used for swimming, fishing or transportation, SAVVY boat’s simple and elegant stern is up to the task.

Vacuum compressed

After moulding and glueing, the FRP layers are vacuum-compressed at an incredible 10,000 kg/m2, in order to achieve premium-grade integrity of the hull, get rid of remaining air pockets, and shred an amazing 30% of the weight.
