Patented hull technology
for a better ride
Softer ride
Petestep® deflectors lower slamming in rough seas and reduce G-force by up to 50%, with unmatched ride comfort as a result
Quieter ride
No more clatter and clinking from the hull! Petestep® hulls create a lot less noise from the sea, so the comfort of the ride is significantly improved
Lower consumption
Up to 35% less energy is required to propel the boat forward, overall lowering fuel consumption and increasing range
More stable
Stability is increased both at high speed and at the dock, consequently making you feel safer on the water
“I’ve never felt anything like it – it really is amazing!”
– Jack Haines, Motorboat and Yachting (UK)
The Petestep® spray deflectors
Our patented technology with the unique combination of significantly higher comfort combined with the best planing efficiency in the industry. You can’t get a better ride!
How do we create a better ride?
Spray water makes a difference
The otherwise wasted spray water is utilized using our patented technology, and creates a significant increase in efficiency and comfort. This way we can create the best planing hull possible.
Conventional spray rails
Spray rails are noisy and make the boat slam harder in waves. By pushing spray water to the sides of the boat, spray rails also waste hydrodynamic energy, resulting in a significantly higher fuel consumption than necessary.
Petestep® deflectors
Deflectors redirect the otherwise wasted spray water down and aft, consequently providing a lift and forward thrust force on the boat. The combined result is a much lower energy need than other V-bottom hulls.
Petestep® projects
Sialia 45 Sport
The ultimate electric day-boat. Petestep to optimize comfort and performance levels as well as increased efficiency.
Virtue V10 Open
Virtue V10 open is the most performanced-focused Virtue model to date, with higher top speed and lower fuel consumption than the competition
How can we help
Hull development
For all boat models, we design the Petestep® hull to suit this particular model’s intended use and characteristics, along with its specific engine options. This ensures that the boat will always run with great comfort combined with maximum efficiency.
Performance estimates
Most projects start in a feasibility stage, where Petestep supplies predictions of the performance and powering requirements. This also occasionally includes a comparison to a conventional hull, in order to illustrate the performance differences
Advanced analysis
We can handle most advanced analyses on planing hulls, including turning and wave simulations. Also how propulsion systems such as water jet and surface drives affect the performance and seakeeping.
