MOCHI CRAFT Long Range 23 : The TRUE GREEN Yacht (that will make your friends go green too)

With fuel prices burning holes in many a boat-owners' pockets without a spark - one can imagine many potential buyers contemplating their purchases.


Mochi Craft, one of the prestigious brands of the Ferretti Group, has topped its ante and have developed the only large luxury motor yacht to be granted ‘GREEN STAR Clean Energy - Clean Propulsion’ certification by RINA, the Italian Ship Register.

Taking the GO GREEN step further, it is also the first "Zero Emission Mode” motor yacht over 20 metres.

LONG RANGE

The Long Range 23 is a revolutionary three deck motor yacht and with it Mochi Craft rewrites the history of the international nautical sector.


Taking its luxury boats to the next level - this is an Expedition Boat...Mochi Craft Style.

So next time you see a dashing yacht in the middle of the ocean with exciting colors and flair...expect it to be a Mochi.

MOCHI STYLE - A CRAFT OF ITS OWN

Taking a traditional lobster-boat the luxury way would definitely mean that you need to have finesse and passion fueling the 'luxury-cylinders' of your mind...


The Advanced Yacht Technology division at Ferretti embodies all their products with an unprecedented distillation of innovation and technology...

Mochis are the most-loved boats by the Italian gliterrati and has a fan-following with the likes of Nicole Kidman and Nicolas Cage.

STAR CLEAN ENERGY & CLEAN ENERGY RATING

The 'zero emission mode' hybrid propulsion system allows the craft to be managed in five different ways, ranging from traditional diesel function to the zero emission mode.

Users have the option of lying at mooring with zero emissions while accessing the boat's electrical facilities, for example, or leaving port in silence and creating no smoky exhaust emissions.

The Long Range 23 also uses Ferretti's new Fer.WEY (Ferretti Wave Efficient Yacht) 'trans-planing' hull, which the firm says ensures higher hydrodynamic efficiency than other planing or displacement hulls.


The manufacturer says it offers a significant reduction in rolling over traditional displacement hulls.

The motors are powered by a pack of Lithium ion batteries, the most advanced technology in this field.

While operating in 'energy storing' mode, the batteries rapidly store the energy produced by the diesel while under way.

The batteries can also be recharged simply by plugging them to the shore power connection. For short range coastal cruises, the yacht can, for example, leave port, cruise around and return using only the electricity drawn and stored from the terrestrial network, providing significant energy savings and much less pollution.

The Mochi Craft Long Range 23 will be launched at the Genoa Boat Show in October.

Surely, your surroundings and your pockets both remain GREENER with boats such as the Mochi Craft 23 Long Range.
