The luxury yacht industry is embracing sustainability as it presents an intriguing specimen: Rossinavi’s Seawolf-X catamaran. Unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show, this vessel represents Italian shipbuilding’s acumen into AI-driven maritime technology.
With this 140-long and 45-meter-wide yacht, the Seawolf-X answers the questions about the practical implementation of green technology in luxury vessels. The hybrid-electric system, dubbed BluE by Rossinavi, allows for full electric operation during day trips. For multi-day journeys, it maintains 90% electric capability, while transatlantic crossings operate at 80% electric power.
After years of study and construction, it is now a source of satisfaction and pride for us to witness the launch of project Sea Cat, now Seawolf X, the first hybrid-electric multihull vessel. This yacht showcases remarkable technological innovations in both power management and propulsion technologies, marking the beginning of a new chapter in next-generation vessels,” says Federico Rossi, chief operating officer of Rossinavi.
The technical specifications reveal careful attention to battery management. Rossinavi’s AI system maintains the battery pack between 20% and 80% charge—essential for long trips. A full recharge requires five hours of shore power, with two diesel generators providing backup.
The exterior design by Fulvio De Simoni Yacht Design presents an aluminum structure with integrated solar panels. The bow area contains practical additions: a hidden pool and convertible home theater. These features, while luxurious, add weight and complexity to what should be a streamlined electric vessel.

Rossinavi’s proprietary AI system manages operations and guest services. The system monitors vessel performance and advises crew on navigation modes and water conditions. The system continuously dialogues with the crew to maximize conscious cruising.
The Seawolf-X’s hibernation mode reduces energy consumption during docking. The solar panel system can store energy captured from sunlight and return it to the quay or private property where it is moored, powering equipment or even an entire villa.
Available for charter through Cecil Wright, the Seawolf-X serves as a test case for luxury maritime sustainability. The maritime industry observes this innovative approach to combining luxury amenities with environmental technology.
