#Energyboatchallenge

Building the future of propulsion

Launched in 2018 by YCM which supplies the teams with the same design catamaran hull, the challenge for teams is to design the cockpit and the most efficient and durable propulsion system using renewable alternative energy sources limited to a given quantity of energy (max. 10kWh stored on board).

Eletric

Solar panel

Hydrogen

WINNER 2022 & 2023

From Università di Bologna, the UniBoat Solar Team clinched top honors at the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge in 2022 and 2023. Their solar-powered boat, a blend of academic brilliance and innovation, set new benchmarks in sustainable marine propulsion.

Their consecutive wins highlight both their technical prowess and commitment to a greener maritime future.

The Yacht Club de Monaco was among our earliest supporters and in 2019 was the first location in the world to install DC marine fast chargers.
