The term green revolution is reflected in the MODX-70 – a 21.33 m long catamaran that lets wind, sun and waves pay the bill – instead of fossil fuels. Twin inflatable wing sails, 70 m² of solar panels, hydropropellers and a rainwater collector in a lightweight bio-composite frame ensure that the vessel is both a showpiece of sustainability and a lounge zone on the water.
Have you ever wished that your weekend at the seaside without emissions, worries about fuel and long-term refueling at the marina? MODX-70 is the answer that makes traditional diesel superyachts tremble with envy. This eco-catamaran is like Tesla among sailboats: elegant, quiet and fully electric, with no CO₂ emissions.
Architectural gem: lightweight strength in bio-composite construction
VPLP Design and Océan Développement set themselves the impossible: to combine extreme strength and minimal weight. The result? A hull made of fiberglass and carbon fibers impregnated with Infugreen bio-composite resins that is light as a feather, but stronger than many an islander. With a width of almost 10 m and a shallow draft of 1.7 m, you can boldly venture into bays where classic catamarans would not even invite you.
Electric heartbeat: silent and clean to the limits of imagination
Instead of the loud hum of a diesel engine, you are accompanied by the almost invisible hum of two 40 kW electric motors. With the full capacity of the 230 kWh batteries, you can enjoy up to 100 nautical miles (≈ 185 km) of quiet sailing at 5 knots – or accelerate to 8.5 knots for 40 NM, before solar panels (70 m², up to 12 kW) and hydropropellers (up to 3 kW at 10 knots) take care of the energy recovery. If this is not an eco-friendly party on the water, what is?
Aeroforce wing sails: the future of wind at your service
Classic sails are a thing of the past – Aeroforce inflatable wing sails deliver up to 35 % more pulling power and automatically adjust to the wind. No anchor soot, no manual lifting, no hassle: the sails themselves take care of the optimal setting. Futuristic? Sure. Daring? Definitely.
Water, water everywhere – and not a drop is wasted
The MODX-70 doesn't look for a water tank; it catches the rain itself. With an 800L rainwater tank, you can shower and flush the toilet without worry, while recycled PET foam and lightweight bio-composites ensure the construction's carbon footprint is lower than soft deck furniture.
Summer lounge on deck: an interior that adapts to your wishes
Inside, there is 200 m² of luxurious interior space. Three versions – owner’s with a mega cabin, charter for up to five guests and expedition with a private laboratory – ensure that you will find your ideal ‘inner pilot’. Add LED lighting and a smart control system, and the ambience is perfect.
Awards? Of course, he's already received them.
At the La Grande Motte fair in spring 2025, the MODX-70 received an award Multihull of the Year – an award that confirms: this vessel is not just a green shiny newcomer, but a precursor to a new nautical era.

Conclusion: time for an eco-revolution on water
The MODX-70 is not just a concept, but a reality that combines technological prestige, luxury and ecological responsibility. If you are ready to let the wind, sun and waves pay for your pleasure on the water, this catamaran awaits you with open sails. It may soon also be available in smaller, amateur versions - because eco-vision knows no bounds!
