As zero-emission zones continue to expand in harbours, cities, and inland waterways, this silent and emission-free saildrive ensures your yacht is fully prepared for the future of sustainable boating.
Compact, powerful, and fully integrated
The YANMAR electric saildrive range is developed entirely in-house. From the high-efficiency electric motor and saildrive unit to the advanced control and monitoring systems, every component is engineered for optimal performance and reliability. The complete solution includes high-capacity batteries, intelligent energy management, and onboard charging systems, resulting in a seamless and efficient electric propulsion package.
The electric saildrive series is available in three power ratings to match different vessel sizes and sailing profiles:
