Alva Yachts Eco Cruise 50
About this yacht
The Alva Yachts Eco Cruise 50 marks a bold departure for the German yard—their first monohull design and a compelling vision of electric-solar cruising. At 50 feet (15.2 meters), this power catamaran alternative delivers a superyacht sensibility in a remarkably efficient package, with space for up to 8 guests across 4 cabins. What sets this cruiser apart is its thoughtful approach to onboard living. A generous beach club area stores the tender and jet ski while underway, then transforms into an expansive waterside platform at anchor. Integrated solar panels flow seamlessly into Henndesign's modern-futuristic lines, while minimalist interiors maximize natural light throughout. The result feels open, contemporary, and purposeful. Two distinct configurations address different ownership profiles. The Owner version accommodates 6 guests and 2 crew, positioning cabins and heads on the main deck alongside a midships galley and dining area. Above, the upper deck dedicates space to a bright salon, wet bar, and helm station. The Charter version expands capacity to 8 guests and 2 crew, adding an ensuite owner's cabin and twin cabin for charter flexibility. Performance comes from Volkswagen electric technology—100kW motors as standard, upgradable to 230kW for those seeking enhanced capability. Solar panels across the upper deck and saloon roof provide continuous charging, supplemented by generator support or an optional hydrogen fuel cell system. Range varies from over 100 nautical miles at displacement speeds to 2,500 nautical miles with extended fuel capacity, proving that emission-free yachting need not compromise exploration. Built with a fiberglass hull and CE Class A certification, the Eco Cruise 50 represents a forward-thinking approach to motor yacht ownership—one where sustainability and comfort advance together rather than in opposition.
