Rossinavi has launched its latest and arguably most innovative project to date, M/Y Seawolf X.
The hybrid-electric catamaran’s exterior architecture is by Fulvio De Simoni Yacht Design, while New York-based practice Meyer Davis Studio designed the interiors.
For Seawolf X, Rossinavi has developed an onboard artificial intelligence system called Rossinavi AI, to improve comfort and help mitigate the yacht’s environmental impact.
Rossinavi AI constantly analyses the vessel’s operation to learn from observation and predict the needs of guests on board while engaging with crew members to advise them on conscious cruising.
The AI software is also able to monitor the battery pack to keep it in a range of 20 to 80 percent, the ideal range to ensure greater longevity of the battery pack, as well as help supervise and interact with the crew.

The Fulvio De Simoni Yacht Design team has devised a sleek and low-profile silhouette, reminiscent of a sports car. Outdoor living on the yacht spans three distinct areas: a convivial cockpit centred around a pool, a sundeck with sunbathing and living spaces, and a bow area featuring a hidden pool and a convertible home theatre.
The Fulvio De Simoni Yacht Design team also integrated solar panels into the vessel. Additionally, they addressed hull efficiency by developing lightweight solutions, including a novel anchor installation that met weight standards and enhanced aesthetics.
Through attention to design, lighting, and material selection, the team aimed to create a comfortable and inviting environment aboard the futuristic catamaran.
“We set out to envision the boat of the future, unbound by convention yet grounded in feasibility with cutting-edge technology for minimal environmental impact,” says Fulvio De Simoni, founder of Fulvio De Simoni Yacht Design.
This Rossinavi fleet yacht has three performance scenarios designed to aid efficiency. On one-day trips, the catamaran can cruise in full electric mode for 100 per cent of the time. On multi-day trips, the catamaran can cruise in electric mode for 90 per cent of the time. Transatlantic trips enable the catamaran to cruise the Atlantic for 80 per cent of the time in electric mode.
The hibernation mode, kicking in when the catamaran is moored, reduces consumption to a relative minimum and the energy generated can be given back to the quay or to a private property.
Indeed, Seawolf X supplies enough energy to charge up an entire villa, according to Rossinavi. Two diesel generators can quickly recharge batteries, while the yacht can recharge using shore power in only five hours.
This Rossinavi fleet yacht carries the BluE label, stemming from the shipyard’s in-house hybrid-electric yacht program. These vessels are propelled by batteries and solar panels, enabling them to operate with lower CO2 emissions compared to traditional yachts.
Inspired by phytoplankton, BluE vessels absorb sunlight during the day, utilising photovoltaic technology to convert it into energy. This energy is stored in batteries and released at night, creating a bioluminescent effect akin to glowing plankton.
