As Sail Magazine wrote in 2018, it is not a question of if sailboats go electric, but when. For the benefit of our oceans and for boaters who want a quiet, no fumes, low-maintenance boating experience, MSC and Green Yachts believes the time is now. Over the last five years, advancements in marine electric propulsion technology have culminated in lower voltage, higher range, longer-lasting electric motors that can not only keep up with diesel engines, but also offer some distinct advantages.
Love the idea of boat ownership, but not the maintenance? Place your yacht in the Modern charter fleet and enjoy more of the benefits of ownership while we manage the finer details of her care and berthing. Sail when you want to - we'll do the rest! And when your boat goes sailing without you, her income helps offset her expenses.
No matter their age, when you take the time to provide kids with a rich variety of fun, incremental, and inclusive learning experiences, you’ll open their way to a lifetime of sailing appreciation.
