the projections
Global yach market projection
With current producers with full order books and a growing market, the time is right to enter the market with a new offering.
Price comparison
How our offering crushes the current market price for boats in this size range. USD over boat length in feet.
Timeline
A high-level overview of the key phases to go from concept to production in 36 months.
Fund flow
Planned allocation of the funds over the project phases and activities.
Full time living onboard
Large kitchen with storage and cooling dimensioned for a regular family. Cabins for family of six. Practical amenities like: desalination, laundry, and workshop. Emphasis on practicality over luxury.
A new market segment
There is nothing like this on the market today. Being polarised around either luxury or performance, the market is missing a practical, sustainable, and affordable solution for families who want to live on the water. We aim to offer just that to a market that is currently underserved.
Sustainable Power
150m² of solar panels integrated into the design. Large battery bank, 400kWh, enabling extended electric operation. Hybrid capability with 2000L fuel tank providing 48h sprint capability or over 4 weeks of normal operations.
Attractive margins
The luxury yacht market has a markup of 2-3x the production cost. We aim to offer a product that is significantly cheaper to produce. At volume production our catamaran will cost ~$500,000 to produce and we aim to sell it for $1,000,000. This will give us about 50% margin on each sale - well under the luxury market standard, but still a very healthy margin.
Connected Living
Full integration with onboard systems through a secure network and Starlink connectivity. Control all systems from any registered device, with over-the-air updates and an app marketplace for endless customization possibilities.
Professional Grade
Engineered with proven fiberglass construction and commercial-grade systems. Each component is selected for reliability and ease of maintenance, ensuring your investment remains seaworthy for years of family adventures.
The Team
Originally from the historic naval city of Karlskrona, Sweden and operating from the maritime hub of Åland, our roots are deeply embedded in Scandinavian maritime tradition. This heritage, combined with modern technical expertise, drives our vision for the next generation of sustainable ocean living.
Our background in technical leadership and software development has given us valuable insights into bringing innovative products to market. Leading development teams in various startups, we've consistently delivered complex technical projects while maintaining a strong focus on sustainability - from optimizing supply chains to partnering exclusively with renewable-energy datacenter providers.
Scandinavia is renowned for technical innovation - not least in the maritime sector - and its practical, sustainable design approach, and we're applying these principles to revolutionize liveaboard catamarans. Where the industry largely focuses on luxury, we see an opportunity to prioritize practicality, sustainability, intelligent systems integration, and lower cost - creating vessels that are truly designed for a full-time life at sea.
This vision is led by our founder, Jonas Schubert Erlandsson, who brings together technical expertise and maritime experience.
