Discover the eco-conscious daysailer redefining modern sailing with style, sustainability, and customisation options
The Saffier SE 24 Lite, winner of the 2024 European Yacht of the Year, is set to make its highly anticipated debut in the Asia-Pacific region at the 2025 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (SCIBS). This remarkable daysailer will be on display with Carbon Yachts, the exclusive dealer for Saffier Yachts in Australia and New Zealand.
Designed to embody the future of modern sailing, the SE 24 Lite is marketed as “A Sailboat Driven by Nature.” It’s entirely self-sufficient, featuring integrated solar panels on the foredeck that charge its electric drive system, enabling silent and sustainable cruising. Whether under sail or motor, the SE 24 Lite’s eco-conscious design is as innovative as it is beautiful.
The boat making its APAC debut has been finished in a custom grass green gel coat, a choice that reflects its harmony with the natural world. This is just one example of the incredible personalisation options available for Saffier Yachts. Carbon Yachts will also soon deliver another SE 24 Lite in traffic orange, showcasing the vibrant and customisable aesthetic appeal of the range.
