THE BOAT

Sailing as it was always meant to feel

The Saffier Yachts SE 24 Lite is the kind of boat that makes a serious sailor stop making excuses. Not because it demands less of you, but because it gives back more: nimble and intuitive with a cockpit wide enough for kids and grandkids, a reversed bow that slices through the chop rather than getting buried by it, and every line already in your hand at the helm. You choose the pace. Fast, and the boat obliges. Easy, and it obliges that too.

The industry agreed: European Yacht of the Year 2024 went to a daysailer that carries its own fuel in the foredeck, harvested from the sky. There is nothing to refuel between sails, precious little to maintain, and every reason to go again on short notice. That kind of freedom is rare, and it is exactly what the SE 24 Lite was built for.

01SUN ON THE FOREDECK

Your fuel replenishes while you sleep

Custom solar panels flush-set into the foredeck charge the Torqeedo electric drive continuously, whether the SE 24 Lite is on its mooring, on the trailer or out in open water. No fuel dock, no engine service, no charger to plug in: the boat works all week without you and is ready the moment you are. Wind moves the sail; sunlight moves everything else, and the right kind of Saturday stays yours.

02ACCLAIMED

Twelve editors, one winner

The editors of twelve of Europe's most rigorous sailing magazines tested the SE 24 Lite against the best new boats of 2024 and handed it the top prize: European Yacht of the Year. They praised its light-wind pace, its cockpit ergonomics and its rare knack of feeling genuinely quick when the breeze builds. The fifth time Saffier has taken that award home, which tells you what serious sailors reach for.

03STYLE WITH PURPOSE

A shape that turns heads, then earns them

The SE 24 Lite was drawn to look fast before it moves a metre, but none of it is decoration. The reversed bow pulls the eye forward and sits wider to handle the chop; the foredeck is clean because every line runs below it to the helm; the wide cockpit reads as somewhere worth arriving at. The things that please the eye are the same ones that make it sail.
