Benefit from cutting-edge technology

All onboard energy production and expenditure flows are managed from a single console, designed by our teams to deliver a simple user experience. The system we have developed ensures that using renewable energy is always a priority.

Preserve the environment

The ODSea+, Fountaine Pajot’s solution to autonomous production and management of renewable energy, will enable you to enjoy the world’s most isolated locations or protected nature reserves, all while preserving them. Sail towards responsible cruising with plenty of comfort onboard!

Travel autonomously

Under the right conditions, the production of solar, wind or water power can provide optimum autonomy for an extended stay in an idyllic anchorage. As well as managing green energy production, the system automatically takes over from your combustion engine to ensure the battery pack has a minimum charge level and recharges as required.

The most advanced solution on the market

With the contribution of over 70 engineers, Fountaine Pajot has developed an in-house solution that is 100% adapted to the use of its catamarans. As a result, it is now the only Shipyard to control all Research & development processes internally, without any dependence on engine brands.

LFP Lithium batteries

Fountaine Pajot has chosen to equip its electric catamarans with LFP Lithium batteries. This technology has increased stability and resistance to the elements. Unlike other types of lithium battery, it does not require a cooling system.

ODSea+ motors

The electric motors in our boats are designed for a longer life expectancy, less maintenance and greater reliability. The ODSea+ solution guarantees a minimum speed of 4 knots if there are very low battery levels & strong winds. The entire technological infrastructure is designed to ensure that there is complementarity and redundancy between the systems.

Use as much renewable energy as possible on board your Fountaine Pajot hybrid electric catamaran:

If you want to reduce your carbon footprint while ensuring maximum cruising autonomy, Fountaine Pajot offers you the option of equipping your catamaran with technology that produces renewable energy, both when sailing and at anchor.

Hydro-generators

Fitted with two propellers, your catamaran will be able to produce energy under sail. With the ODSea+ system, you can control your hydro generation at the click of a button, depending on the energy load you need to produce. They can deliver almost 1 Kw per propeller at an average speed of 8 knots.

panneau@x2

Solar panels

Designed to blend perfectly with the design of your Fountaine Pajot electric catamaran, these 400 to 2,000 Wc solar panels (depending on the size of your model) can provide excellent energy production all day long, to power the equipment needed for life on board.

eolienne@2x

Wind turbines

The wind turbines, installed at the stern of your catamaran, help you capitalise on another natural source of energy that is always there on any cruise: the wind. Day or night, two propellers can produce an output of 600 watts per hour.
