LBV 35

Built by an operator, for operators

The La Bella Verde LBV 35's most interesting credential is not on the spec sheet: the brand grew out of an Ibiza-based solar-electric charter business that has been running electric catamarans commercially for years. A yard that has to fix its own boats between bookings tends to design differently from one that only sells them, and the emphasis on recyclable composite construction fits a charter operation trading explicitly on environmental credentials. With an 11.7 m hull, a 5.65 m beam and 0.93 m draft, this is a day-charter platform first — stable, shallow, generous in deck area, easy to bring close inshore.

What buyers must pin down

For a €287,000 boat the published data is thin to the point of being a problem: no battery capacity, no motor output, no speed and no range. Those are precisely the numbers that decide whether a charter day is viable without a mid-day charge, and no operator should sign without them.

Private buyers should also weigh the practical cost of the 5.65 m beam, which pushes the boat into wide-berth pricing at most Mediterranean marinas and rules out some. Compared with production electric catamarans in the same length band, the LBV 35 trades brochure specification for real operating provenance — a fair trade, but only once the missing figures are supplied.
