Feel the difference
A different way to sail
No generator hum through the hull at anchor. No diesel smell in the cockpit when entering a bay. A week on a JOOOL-equipped yacht is quieter, simpler, and more present than guests expect, often enough to become the reason why choosing hybrid for every cruise.
On board
Three things guests notice immediately
Silent mode at anchor
At anchor, there is no generator running. The battery bank powers all onboard systems, air conditioning, refrigeration, lighting, navigation, through the night, silently. Guests sleep differently. It is the first thing almost every guest mentions when asked about the week.
Discover silent electric sailingMotor sailing
When the wind drops, the electric drive pod runs at low speed without noise or vibration, generating enough boat speed to create apparent wind and keep the sails powered. Motor-sailing without the motor feel. The conversation at the helm continues.
Full energy autonomy at seaEasy control
The electric drive pod delivers full torque from zero RPM. In a tight anchorage, a crowded marina, or between moorings, the response is immediate and precise. Guests who take the helm notice it on the first approach.

One day aboard a JOOOL yacht
-
06:30
The alarm goes off in the forward cabin. The boat is completely quiet, the generator never started overnight. The fridge kept the food cold. The fans turned, the navigation instruments logged the anchor watch. All of it from battery storage, silently, while the crew slept.
-
08:00
Coffee on the cockpit. The solar panels are already contributing, 400 watts flowing into the battery bank as the sun clears the headland. The onboard screen display shows battery at 87%, estimated autonomy through the day: comfortable.
-
09:30
Anchor up. The PowerPods engage smoothly : no startup, no warm-up, no noise. The catamaran backs out of the anchorage with precise differential thrust, swings to face the channel, and accelerates toward the passage. The crew on the foredeck hears nothing from the engines.
-
11:00
Wind fills from the north-west. Sails go up, engines off. The PowerPods shift to hydrogeneration mode, the propellers now turning with the boat's movement, feeding current back into the batteries.
-
16:30
Anchor drops in a protected bay. The generator has not run today. Battery sits at 74%, solar and hydro have covered all consumption and more. The watermaker runs for an hour, replenishing the tank. Still no generator.
-
21:00
Dinner is done. The anchor light glows. Somewhere across the water, a neighbour's generator starts with a diesel clatter that drifts across the anchorage for the next three hours. On this boat, nothing.
