What kind of fuel does the yacht run on?

Yachts run on different types of fuel, depending on their design, size and purpose. Here are the main fuels that are used for yachts:

Diesel fuel

Most modern motor yachts and boats run on diesel fuel. Diesel engines are considered more economical and durable than gasoline engines. They provide high torque, which is important for heavy vessels, and have higher fuel efficiency over long distances.

Gasoline

Some small motor yachts and speedboats, especially sports and pleasure boats, use gasoline engines. Gasoline engines are usually lighter and cheaper to install and maintain, but they are less economical compared to diesel engines.

Electricity

With the development of technology, more and more yachts are equipped with electric motors. Electric yachts are becoming popular due to their environmental friendliness and low noise levels. These engines can be powered by batteries that are charged from the onshore power grid or solar panels.

Gas

Some yachts may use liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG) as fuel. These fuels are more environmentally friendly alternatives to diesel and gasoline fuels, although they have not yet become widespread in yachting.

Hybrid systems

Modern yachts are increasingly equipped with hybrid systems that combine diesel or gasoline engines with electric ones. Such systems make it possible to optimize fuel consumption and reduce emissions of harmful substances.

Nuclear reactors

Nuclear reactors can be used on large yachts of the megayacht class, although this is a very rare and expensive solution, mainly used on military and scientific vessels.

Each type of fuel has its advantages and disadvantages, and the choice depends on many factors, including the size of the yacht, the planned routes and the environmental preferences of the owner.
