Electricity question: Using a 110/120V/60Hz boat in Europe

[MartyB]

Quick question for you guys. I am not too savvy on electricity.
I'm taking possession of a brand new cat in France.
The boat will be sailing to America at the end of 2022. We intend to sail the Med next year.
The boat as been built to American standards and All the electricity is 110. What is the best/cheapest way to be able to convert 220 and be able to use shore power in the European marinas to run AC and the rest ?
Ideally a temporary solution that is not too costly...
Thanks!

The boat should be able to accommodate either 110V/220V. The primary issue is the frequency. Europe is typically 50hz and the US 60hz.

On our Saona it is this way.

A temporary, cheap solution? Buy a 220V/50A portable battery charger and run everything off batteries, like you would at anchor.

I haven't done it, but I think you can get a transformer which converts the 220V/50A to the N. American standard. As @HighTemp suggested, you "should" wire that in permanently so your boat can accept either system. Not sure rigging it up temporarily would be any cheaper. You still need two inlets, the transformer, and some way to select which input to feed your main breaker panel.
