Dusseldorf Boat Show

A jet ski The Batman would ride – that's how Finnish startup Viva Electric Jets describes its debut product of the same name. The electric new PWC promises speeds close to 60 mph (96.5 km/h) backed up by one-hour rapid charging.

FinX has developed an outboard motor that allows boats to move through the water more naturally, like sea creatures. Its design cuts out the propeller and replaces it with a fin-like undulating membrane directly inspired dolphins and jellyfish.

At this year's Boat Düsseldorf show, ePropulsion presented its smallest electric outboard. The new all-in-one eLite weighs less than 15 lb, carries easily to the water, and delivers up to an hour and a half of quiet, zero-emissions power.

Rocket Camper is ready to shoulder VW out of the way and assume control of the surf van throne. Designed for water sports lovers, its Surf 'n' Sail concept has separate "wet" and "dry" zones with features like a Murphy bed and waterproof tub floor.

Searider looks to combine the sharp, nimble handling of a motorbike with the instant acceleration of an all-electric jet ski. Weighing a fraction of the lightest ICE-driven PWC, its Searacer is a sleek electro-machine capable of flirting with 50 mph.

Although all sorts of people enjoy boating, not everyone wants to go blasting across the waves in a noisy speedboat. If you're more content with quietly cruising the waterways, then you might like Sky-Yacht's electric Joyboat. We recently spied the watercraft, at the Dusseldorf boat show.
