Introducing the Island Spirit 525e Hybrid-Electric Catamaran

Purpose-built for the modern sailor with an eye toward sustainability, the Island Spirit 525e is a bold departure from convention. Combining electric propulsion with solar power and regenerative sailing energy, this bluewater cruising catamaran offers a silent, efficient, and eco-friendly experience — all wrapped in elegant, contemporary design.

Whether your goal is extended off-grid cruising, carbon-conscious chartering, or coastal exploration with minimal environmental impact, the 525e delivers comfort and capability in every detail.

Powertrain Innovation: Green Energy That Goes the Distance

The 525e uses twin 65kW electric motors as its primary source of propulsion, offering silent operation and immediate torque. A 55kW range extender generator ensures reliability and redundancy without compromising efficiency.

A solar array capable of producing up to 4.8kW feeds a 210kWh lithium battery bank, powering not only the propulsion system but also all domestic systems onboard. From air conditioning to refrigeration to lighting and navigation, this catamaran is optimized for energy autonomy and low-emission living.

And thanks to regenerative sailing technology, you can even charge the batteries while under sail — creating a self-sustaining loop that minimizes marina visits and maximizes freedom.

Interior Craftsmanship: Luxury Without Excess

Every element of the Island Spirit 525e interior is crafted to provide the comfort of a modern home at sea. Designed for long-term living or luxury chartering, the layout offers ample volume, intelligent design, and aesthetic cohesion from bow to stern.

Salon & Galley

The main salon is a showstopper: panoramic wraparound windows bring in natural light and sweeping sea views, while soft-close cabinetry and ambient LED lighting add to the refined atmosphere. The galley-up configuration puts the chef at the heart of the social space, with top-tier appliances including:

• A full-size refrigerator and freezer

• Four-burner induction cooktop

• Oven and microwave

• Deep stainless steel sinks

• Ample dry storage and premium stone-style countertops

The U-shaped dining settee seats 6–8 comfortably and can convert into an additional berth or lounging area. Ventilation is optimized with hatches and fans, and air conditioning can be installed for tropical cruising.

Owner’s Suite

On select layouts, one hull is entirely dedicated to the owner — delivering a full-length private retreat with:

• A queen-size island berth with integrated side tables

• Reading lights and USB charging ports

• Generous hanging lockers and drawer storage

• Full-length vanity or desk workspace

• Ensuite bathroom with a separate walk-in shower, electric head, and basin sink

Soft furnishings can be customized, and all cabins are equipped with blackout shades, insect screens, and zoned lighting.

Guest Cabins

The guest cabins mirror the design quality of the owner’s suite, each with their own ensuite head and shower. Natural materials, custom cabinetry, and marine-grade finishes ensure these spaces remain elegant and low-maintenance in all conditions.

From hand-stitched headboards to custom LED lighting and brushed aluminum hardware, no detail is overlooked.

Outdoor Living: Comfort Above Deck

The Island Spirit 525e was designed with extensive outdoor enjoyment in mind:

Flybridge

• Helm station with 360° visibility

• Generous seating for 8+ guests

• Sunpad lounging area

• Optional barbecue and wet bar

• Hardtop with integrated solar panels

The flybridge doubles as an open-air lounge and control center, making it ideal for both long passages and casual anchorages.

Aft Cockpit

• Full-beam dining table

• Outdoor refrigeration

• Extended swim platforms with boarding ladders

• Access to engine rooms and mechanical spaces

Foredeck

• Dual trampolines

• Modular sunbathing pads

• Secure walkways and stainless handholds

Whether you’re underway, on anchor, or hosting a sunset cocktail hour, the Island Spirit 525e’s deck spaces are versatile and comfortable.

Performance You Can Trust Offshore

With a hull length of 15.77m (51.7 ft) and a beam of 8.19m (26.9 ft), the IS525e offers extraordinary volume without compromising on performance. A shallow draft of 1.54m (5 ft) allows access to remote anchorages and shallow bays, while the 177 m² (1,905 ft²) sail area provides ample power in light to moderate wind.

Thanks to the low-drag hull design, the yacht requires only 37kW to cruise at 8 knots — making it one of the most energy-efficient large sailing catamarans available.

The catamaran is CE certified for Category A (Ocean), meaning it is built and tested to withstand open sea conditions. It’s ideal for ambitious voyages, bluewater passages, or full-time liveaboard lifestyles.

Charter-Ready, Owner-Friendly

The 525e’s flexible layout options and energy-efficient systems make it equally appealing to private owners and professional fleet operators. For those interested in revenue generation, placing the vessel into a performance charter fleet can generate significant income while offsetting ownership costs.

Eco-conscious guests increasingly seek out greener vessels. The Island Spirit 525e provides a meaningful advantage in the evolving charter market, with lower running costs and a distinct luxury experience.
