The world is ready for a true zero emission yachting revolution.
The ZEN50 is the WINNER of the 2023 Gustave Trouvé Award for Excellence in Electric Boats in the category Over 8m / 26 ft In Production.
The victory of the ZEN50 in The 2023 Gussies Awards is testament to the discernment and appreciation of the International Voting Panel and the public alike. This praise of our uncompromising design audacity reinforces ZEN Yachts' conviction that the world is ready to embrace true zero-emission yachting and maritime mobility at large.
The fact that the ZEN50 has been acknowledged as the 2023 world's best electric boat in her category it is a source of immense joy and pride. And at ZEN Yachts, we feel infinitely grateful for that recognition. This yacht is indeed truly unique, being an entirely energy and water self-reliant, fast, comfortable, and safe ocean cruiser. Once the ZEN50 is in the water, this yacht can sail day in day out without ever refueling, which opens new horizons altogether for the modern age explorers wanting to reach the furthest shores, whilst leaving nothing but solar sparkles in their wake.
ZEN Yachts’ CEO and ZEN50 Designer, Julien Mélot expressed his feelings upon learning the news: "I feel immensely proud of our passion-driven Team who is showing an unwavering dedication to producing the first ZEN50 units and a great sense of gratitude towards our Investors and Clients on both sides of the Atlantic”.
The ZEN50 victory reinstates more than ever that the fast-growing eco-conscious sailing community recognizes the value of true zero-emission - completely detached from fossil fuels - yachts and is ready to transition to a genuinely harmonious relation with the sea.
To those who voted for the ZEN50, we give heartfelt thanks for your support, and we salute your vision and discernment. We warmly congratulate the winners in the other categories and thank the other contestants for their wonderful boat designs. We encourage them to keep pushing the boundaries, boldly dropping fossil fuels, and daringly embracing the infinite solar and eolian energies. The market is clearly ready and so must we be.
As the production of the first ZEN50 is well underway, we at ZEN Yachts continue to ardently focus our attention and energy on bringing this new Radically Respectful yachting paradigm to the seas.
We look forward to welcoming our existing clients and many prospective buyers at the next ZEN Community Days to see and touch, for the first time, the ZEN50 inside our brand-new factory early next year.
