The Wave e-550 is the first model from the Italo-Spanish shipyard Magonis. She made its world debut in May at the Venice Boat Show 2021



The shipyard, with its headquarters in Barcelona and production site in Sabaudia, Italy, has drawn on the different influences of the two countries. Catalan creativity and exuberance have been combined with Italian taste and technology to create a boat that, in its 5.50m length (4.96 m at waterline) and 1.98m width, has all the perfect comforts for an enjoyable day cruise, be it sailing on Lake Garda (with all routes permitted, including the ones on the upper lake, forbidden to traditional motorboats), in the sea of Capri or a quick crossing from Ibiza to Formentera. 



The layout of the deck spaces is based on the bowrider style, resulting in a bow area that can be transformed in an instant from a cosy dinette into an equally usable sunbed. In the cockpit, comfortable seating and a protective windscreen ensure comfortable and safe navigation for up to six passengers. 



Standard equipment includes a 4kg stainless steel dolphin striker and anchor, a bathing ladder with four large steps, four designer stainless steel cleats. Stainless steel is used for the forward rail and windscreen uprights. 
There are plenty of optional features: telescopic table, full teak deck, refrigerator, shower, anti-theft device and an 8 sq m XXL awning supported by carbon uprights.



Magonis Wave e-550 has a number of solutions that are not usually found on boats of this size, starting with the instrumentation, which has been replaced by a suitably waterproofed 13" iPad that owners can carry with them at all times. There is also a dedicated slot for charging smartphones, while music is provided by a 120 W Fusion system. 



With a depth of just 0.30 m, it is possible to venture almost to the shore in complete silence thanks to the electric propulsion.In terms of performances: Magonis Wave e-550 has maximum speed of 22 knots and a range of 12 hours at cruising speed. The displacement of 335 kg highlights the vacuum infusion construction of the exclusive Light X Pro technology, developed by the Magonis team of engineers and designers. 
Motorisation, strictly outboard, comes in the shape of two authentic icons of electric propulsion: the Torqeedo Cruise from 4 to 10 kW (approximately the equivalent of 20 hp), or the new Mag Power 18.0 and 30.0, 18 and 30 kW respectively. The former (with a power of around 40 hp) guarantees the aforementioned speed of 22 knots, the latter a top speed of 16 knots.



Prices range from 33,485 Euro with the Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 RL to 68,900 Euro with the Mag Power 30.0, all including VAT.

Magonis is an electric boats manufacturer with headquarters in Barcelona, Spain, and shipyard in Sabaudia, Italy. The shipyard was founded in 2017.

Feadship Joins Nuclear Energy Maritime Organization
Feadship has become a member of the Nuclear Energy Maritime Organization (NEMO), an industry group focused on developing regulatory frameworks for floating nuclear power applications. The membership aligns with Feadship's energy transition strategy initiated in 2020.The shipyard's research and development program has included assessment of nuclear propulsion systems for superyachts, examining technical requirements and operational implications. Current barriers to adoption include unresolved regulatory issues regarding radiation safety, port access restrictions, and operational limitations in ecologically sensitive areas.Giedo Loeff, Feadship's Head of Innovation and Strategy, stated: "Joining NEMO aligns with our vision to explore every credible pathway toward a sustainable future. Nuclear power may not be tomorrow's solution for superyachts, but it could be part of the long-term horizon."Fourth-generation nuclear reactor technology has potential maritime applications including offshore power generation and zero-emission propulsion for large vessels. Feadship's participation in NEMO will focus on contributing to safety standards and operational guidelines for nuclear technologies at sea.Giedo LoeffThe company's energy transition roadmap has previously incorporated multi-fuel systems and fuel cell integration projects. Nuclear propulsion represents a potential long-term solution for carbon-neutral operations, though economic and crew training requirements present significant implementation challenges.Feadship's membership in NEMO reflects the superyacht industry's increasing engagement with alternative propulsion technologies. The organization brings together maritime stakeholders to address regulatory gaps for floating nuclear applications, with particular focus on safety protocols and international compliance standards.Based in the Netherlands and with roots dating back to 1849, Feadship was formed as a group in 1949 as a marketing partnership between six Dutch shipyards, de Vries Lentch, Van de Stadt, Witsen & Vis, Akerboom, De Vries Scheepsbouw and Van Lent Shipyard, and De Voogt Naval Architects.
