Whisper 50, a high-end showcase to promote the electric catamaran

The Whisper 50 is the first model of a new brand of electrically powered catamarans. Designed by Berret-Racoupeau, it offers the comfort and silence of electric propulsion, combined with the most luxurious layout.

A new range of catamarans with electric motors

Guy Marchal is the head of Symphony Marine, a company he created in 2019 after several years of experience in prestigious superyacht yards, such as Oceanco. Today, he works in the construction of megayachts over 60 m and launches in parallel a range of catamarans with electric motors, Whisper Yachts .

The first model, the Whisper 50, has a total length of 15 meters. Its modern and elegant design is by Berret-Racoupeau.

"The catamaran is an ideal platform for electric propulsion. Its hulls offer much less resistance in the water than a monohull. It is also a guarantee of comfort, thanks to its stability and its living space. Finally, it also offers a large exterior surface to accommodate solar panels explains Guy Marchal.

"Electric propulsion: propulsion of the future

If he has chosen electric propulsion for his range - a 40-foot and a 60-foot are under consideration - it is because he is convinced of the future of electric propulsion in boating.

"I have been observing electric technology for 8 years now. It offers ecological, comfort and maintenance advantages. When sailing, the silence of electric propulsion is incredible. The torque is immediate, so you can sail very comfortably at 6 knots, as well as at 12 knots and reach a maximum speed of 18 knots if you want. With a combustion engine, you have to respect the engine speeds, whereas the electric motor is efficient at all speeds. I definitely think that this is the propulsion of most of the boats of the future explains Guy Marchal.

The Whisper 50 is equipped with two 100 kW Deep Blue motors from Torqeedo, powered by a 200 kWh BMW battery pack. It is possible to boost the power to 2x120 kW to reach 18 knots in a short period of time. 30 m 2 solar panels producing 6 kW provide the necessary energy, in addition to a 13.2 kW shore power outlet and a 25 kW back-up generator.

According to the shipyard, the autonomy is unlimited at a speed of 5 to 6 knots, the recharge being ensured by the solar panels only. Between 8 to 9 knots, the autonomy increases to 5 hours, always without CO2 emission.

The Whisper 50 offers an autonomy of 8 to 10 hours at a speed of 9 to 10 knots with the 25 kW generator. Finally, at a maximum speed of 18 knots, the autonomy is one hour maximum, still with the generator. A speed that we will privilege in case of emergency.

A luxurious semi-custom layout

In terms of layout, the Whisper 50 has a large cockpit with a sunbathing area over the swim platform. The cockpit space is protected by a rigid roof that can be completely closed by insulating glass if necessary and extends the space of the interior lounge. Two lateral meridian seats invite you to relax. The total surface of the main deck is 35 m2. There are also sunbeds and sofas on the flybridge and the forward cockpit. The hulls can accommodate between 3 (owner's hull version) and 4 cabins.

Series construction

Made of vinylester and fiberglass with carbon reinforcements to optimize weight, the Whisper 50 will be manufactured in semi-custom series. The owner will be able to choose to customize his boat, especially in terms of decoration and cabin version. Guy Marchal intends to offer a high level of finishing and a production of luxurious quality, close to the environment in which he currently works. Two shipyards are currently being considered to build the range, one in Italy, specialized in the manufacture of luxury yachts and one in France, known for the production of catamarans.

"By proposing a complete range, and in particular a 40-foot model, we want to convince the market of the usefulness and merits of electric propulsion . The more electric boats there are on the water, the more this propulsion will be democratized. Today, many anchorages are polluted and inaccessible. We want to avoid this and offer the possibility to a maximum of people to consider the purchase of an electric boat", concludes Guy Marchal.

A high-end positioning

A possibility that requires a certain budget, however, since with a luxury positioning, the Whisper 50 has a price excluding taxes of 1.4 million euros with many standard features such as the teak platform for example. A first model as well as a virtual visit system will be available in Düsseldorf in January 2022.

Whisper-Yachts 50

The success of Silent Yachts is being emulated, and that's surely a good thing! Symphony Marine is entering the electric catamaran market, but with more modest sizes from 40 to 60 feet, whereas the Silent range extends from 55 to 100 feet.

Guy Marchal, the founder of the Whisper-Yachts brand, asked Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design to draw this environmentally friendly catamaran with 320 square feet (30 m²) of solar panels (6 kWp), a 200-kWh battery pack and two 100-kW Torqeedo electric motors. The Whisper-Yachts 50 should be able to provide “clean” propulsion at 5/6 knots. It can of course sail faster - up to 18 knots - but at that speed, recharging the batteries is necessary through the generator and/or the shore power. The deck layout does not seem to inhibit the surface area of the solar panels - many areas remain well clear. Inside, the nacelle offers a decent 375 sq ft (35 m²), generously bordered by sliding windows. The manufacturer offers a three or four-cabin version. Technical specifications: Builder: Symphony Marine Hull length: 46’3” (14.10 m) Beam: 21’8” (6.60 m) Draft: 28” (0.72 m) Light displacement: 33,730 lbs (15.3 t) Drivetrain: 2 x 100 or 120 kW Generator: 1 or 2 x 25 kW Fuel: 1 or 2 x 40 US gal (150 l) Cruising speed: 10 knots Maximum speed: 18 knots

A new beginning: the inspiration of Whisper Yachts

After spending an entire year cruising around the world aboard their solar electric motor yacht by Whisper Yachts, Sarah, Thomas, and their son Lucas returned to France, transformed by this unique experience. Their journey, powered by the solar engines of their yacht, exceeded all their expectations, and they came back with new ideas and renewed energy for their future.

The evolution of yachts: from sail to motorization

The evolution of yachts is a fascinating journey through history, marking humanity’s progress in navigation, engineering, and luxury. This evolution mirrors not just technological advancements but also a shift in our relationship with the seas.

• Exploration

A family's quest for sustainable travel

In the pulsating heart of a bustling metropolis, an art gallery transforms into a stage, unveiling the intimate theater of a family. Sarah and Thomas, embodiments of complicity, wander among the artworks, their young son, Lucas, a silent witness to their harmony. Each painting, each sculpture, becomes a chapter in their story, woven with vibrant colors, mesmerizing shapes, and tales whispered to the soul.

Sailing with Whisper Yachts in 2024

This commitment takes the form of an unparalleled sailing experience aboard their solar electric yachts, a perfect fusion of luxury, technology, and ecological awareness.

Returning to nature, an escape from contemporary chaos

In a world where every second counts, where the incessant notifications from our devices constantly remind us of our duties and responsibilities, the anxiety of immediacy has become a tangible reality. Crowded streets, ever-present screens, and the breakneck pace of modern life have created a stifling atmosphere, leaving little room for serenity and contemplation. The relentless waves of often alarming information overwhelm us, leaving us in search of a sanctuary, an escape.

A unique adventure across Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts

As the days turned into weeks and the familiar coasts of the Mediterranean faded into the distance, the family aboard their Whisper Yachts discovered a new dimension of sailing, where sustainability and luxury became one.

Merging luxury with ocean conservation

Since the earliest days of terrestrial existence, the oceans have been the stage for an eternal dance of life. These vast expanses of saltwater, stretching as far as the eye can see, witnessed the birth of the first life forms and have been the silent observers of the evolution of millions of species. These deep and mysterious seas have inspired countless legends, myths, and tales of adventure, reflecting the fascination and reverence they educated  humanity.
