Spartan 787
HYBRID MOTOR YACHTS
A 24m hybrid diesel-electric explorer yacht
engineered for range, efficiency and self-sufficiency
Spartan 787
Crafted for Distance. Designed for Discovery.
The Spartan 787 is more than a vessel — it’s a statement of independence. A long-range cruiser capable of crossing the Pacific Ocean without having to refuel. A vessel capable of real world cruising powered by nothing but the Sun.
​
Every line and curve speaks of purpose: a sculpted 5083 marine-grade aluminium hull that glides through open oceans; a shallow 1.1m draft that draws it closer to hidden lagoons and remote anchorages; and a hybrid drive that carries it forward in near silence, leaving only ripples behind. Built to commercial standards with safety at its core, shaped for comfort over long passages, and engineered for efficiency and stability this vessel will inspire confidence to all those who step aboard.
​
Inside and out, the Spartan 787 is built to explore, with all important systems being duplicated or having a backup, redundancy is a mantra at the BBS Shipyard allowing you to have peace of mind when you look towards the horizon.
​
Strength. Serenity. Self-sufficiency.
The Spartan 787 is where they meet.
Exterior Design
Where Form Meets Freedom.
Elegant, confident, and unmistakably modern, the Spartan 787 blends minimalist architecture with expedition purpose.
From its axe-bow, long waterline, and round-bilge hull deliver poise and efficiency, while seamless glazing flows unbroken from bow to stern, dissolving the boundary between sea, sky, and structure.
The aft deck is a genuine open-air living space — expansive, social, and practical:
-
Deep wraparound lounge with convertible dining table/daybed
-
Outdoor galley and BBQ beneath the extended roof line
-
Ample storage for diving, fishing, and water-sport equipment
-
Huge open aft cockpit area with access to the water on all three sides as well as to the 4.2m RIB suspended with a remote electric davit system.
-
Forward, the bow deck hosts a raised daybed, concealed storage, and sweeping horizon views — a quiet retreat for sunrise solitude or night-sky reflection.
Practical elegance defines every feature:
-
The all Stainless Steel dual anchor winch and chain systems are built on a raised section allowing all runoff to flow clear of deck.
-
Deck cleats are load-rated for crane lifts or haul-out operations, freeing you from reliance on travel-lift facilities and allowing haul-out wherever a crane is available.
-
The roof integrates 20x 500 W solar panels carefully hidden from view with virtually zero shading allowing ultimate efficiency is solar energy harvesting.​
These thoughtful, robust touches elevate everyday function into seamless simplicity.
INterior Design
Light. Space. Stillness
Inside, the Spartan 787 is a study in calm.
360° panoramic laminated glass, up to 23 mm thick, will keep any weather or wave outside while letting in natural light, creating an effortless sense of openness and connection to the horizon.
The pilot house offers 2m plus headroom, superb visibility, and a natural flow into the lounge and expansive galley, where conversation and comfort move easily with the sea. The helm station provides unmatched 360° visibility and a full suite of modern electronics, with most systems duplicated for redundancy and reliability.
Below deck, three deluxe cabins offer year round live aboard comfort and privacy. FWD is the VIP Room , midships is a double cabin and Aft is the full width Master cabin boasting a Super King bed and 100'' Cinema screen TV. Cabins have large bed height windows to connect you to your aquatic world. All cabins have private bathrooms.
Finishes pair endurance with elegance: genuine leather accents, exotic black-palm wood, and metallic detailing, softly illuminated by ambient LED lighting. Every texture is chosen to age gracefully; every surface is designed to be touched and lived with.
​
Refinement here is practical, enduring, and quietly confident — created for those who travel with intent.
Performance & Systems
Silent Power. Real Range.
Beneath its calm exterior lies a TRUE hybrid propulsion system combining a Yanmar 6CX BM-GT 400 HP commercial-rated diesel engine (non-electronic) and dual 20 kW Axia-flux electric motors.
​
The entire 230kw, 1.7 ton lithium phosphate battery system operates at low-voltage 48V, ensuring safety and legally enabling owner-operators to maintain it with confidence.
This configuration provides regenerative charging, while under Diesel power and real world electric cruising. Capable of running 10 hours at 6.5 knots on a single charge.
As an alternative 'Quiet Mode' — or in the unlikely event of main-engine failure — the electric drives can be powered continuously by the 50 kVA super-silent diesel generator, or at lower speeds directly from the 10 kW solar array.
