HI Mi,
You have run hard aground on the 24 volt appliances. The selection is
slim. Your best bet is an inverter, 12 volt charger and 12 volt house
battery, Then utilize 110/12 volt appliances. Don't forget use 12v
breaker(s). It would cost you less in the long run. Also, having a
decent inverter (5000 watts or so will allow you to run your air
conditioner, hot water heater or stove as necessary.

Have a look at the link below.

On my new boat I will have a powerfull 24VDC battery bank charged by a
diesel generator and auxiliary sources.

I did a bit of search but couldn't find much- are there any 24 VDC
appliances such as cooker/oven, fridge, AC and water heater you could
recommend?

I know I can run standard items through power inverter but I would
prefer not to do it for the sake of reliability/efficiency/cost. I want
to go totally electric (no gas)
