Sirena Announces New Hybrid Sirena 48

Sirena unveiled the new hybrid variant of its successful Sirena 48, offering the same impressive space and styling with a high-performance serial hybrid power train for silent power on-demand without the exhaust emissions — making sustainable boating a reality in this class.

The only design difference for the new hybrid offering is that the open-air flybridge is replaced by a coupé-style coach roof for a more sporty, elegant exterior. Glass panels in the hardtop flood the saloon with natural light, while the addition of solar panels helps to extend the operating range of the yacht under electric power alone.

“The hardtop design is particularly well suited to the hybrid drive system, and offers a remarkable solution in terms of aesthetics while maximising the number of solar panels,” says Sirena Yachts CEO Cagin Genc. “At Sirena Marine, we have been working hard to integrate a robust, meaningful hybrid option for some time. And though we are starting with our latest 48ft yacht model, we are able to implement the solution on any of the yachts in our range, which runs up to 88ft.”

Powered by twin 213kW electric motors, the yacht tops out at 14 knots. It can cover 30 nautical miles in silent electric mode for a low profile exit from port before switching on the variable speed generators to provide the electricity needed to drive the boat and recharge the batteries.

“By integrating hybrid solutions from e-Motion, Sirena Marine is bringing many new benefits to its yachts,” adds Genc. “Not only can they offer quieter and more comfortable cruising at anchor and under way — we estimate that a hybrid system can reduce fuel consumption by up to 35 per cent and cut maintenance costs by 10-15 per cent. With less noise and fewer emissions, a hybrid Sirena Yacht has a lower impact on the environment.”

The new hybrid propulsion option is available across all models, and the new coupé design can be applied to conventionally powered models. In the future, owners will also be able to specify a sleek, curved coachroof on the Sirena 58, 68, 78 and 88.
