One of the surprising facts about Offgridshop<\/a> – a Victron distributor with an impressive portfolio of Luxury Yacht power installations under their belt – is that they are based in land-locked Austria! <\/em><\/p>\n

At 350km from the nearest coast, the Marine arm of their business has grown by word of mouth, and through their attention to detail. \u00a0Even their new training facility and showroom offers a hands-on power-up experience of every product we make!<\/p>\n

The strategy of paying attention to every detail seems to be working – requests are rolling in not only from shipyards but also from wealthy clients to replace the factory-installed power systems of brand-new luxury production yachts even before they hit the water (Well, if you’re going to invest millions of dollars in an exclusive sailing boat with luxurious accommodation for your guests you don’t want to be worrying about how the batteries are holding out!)

To ensure that their B2B partners make the best possible use of Victron Energy products, <\/b>Offgridshop have invested in a training facility and product demonstration showroom which not only includes devices from the entire range of Victron products – but everything is plugged in and live! It’s a hands on Victron Experience<\/em> says CEO Lukas Vrecer.<\/p>\n

One recent alumni from a one-day training course was Stephan Kress –<\/em> a seasoned Marine power installer and designer and also Yacht builder – who took the opportunity for some face-to-face problem solving and in-depth discussion to find technical solutions for a whole series of boat installations he has in mind.<\/p>\n

Talking about his work, Stephan says:<\/p>\n

We design and engineer power systems for yachts, tailored for clients who seek reduced noise, lower emissions, minimal pollution, and decreased running costs.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Together with our partners, we engineered SAMAR Yachts, a solar-powered electric boat designed for enjoying the sea with friends. This yacht can cruise for eight hours at 8 knots, fully powered by batteries. It recharges with solar energy over five days – or overnight via shore power. SAMAR Yachts offers a way to enjoy the sea whilst respecting and protecting the marine environment.<\/em><\/p>\n

Power systems on boats have unique requirements and Offgridshop offers expertise tailored to those needs. Today<\/em> we explored the best fusing and racking options for the new Lithium NG Battery<\/a> system. Victron Energy\u2019s new NG battery system provides a versatile, modular toolkit for various electrification projects, including our vision of a solar-electric yacht like SAMAR.
