Electric Boats

If you're in the market for a distinctive new ride, ENVGO's got you covered with its electric NV1 hydrofoiling boat. It's all beautiful curves, sleek lines, and high performance for when you want to tear up the lake near your family's vacation home.

Incat has delivered on its promise to build the world's largest battery electric passenger ferry, officially launching the China Zorrilla from its shipyard in Hobart today. The vessel measures 425 ft in length and will host a whopping 40-MWh battery.

Joining the recent American launch of the RemigoOne e-drive, Temo is introducing its own sleek, clamp-and-ride electric outboard. While similar to the RemigoOne, the Temo 1000 offers a few advantages, including a swappable battery pack.

While hydrofoils lift out of the water thanks to an underwater fin, hydroplanes zoom along by riding directly on the surface of the water. A slick carbon-fiber scale model from startup CovaConcepts shows off the latter concept in a fun new video.

Gori folding propellers collapse to cut drag when under sail, then open up the instant the motor drive kicks on. The new tri-blade Gori Hybrid Propeller adds a third option, keeping the propeller open while sailing for energy regeneration.

Despite having great sea legs, I remember feeling a little green in the gills when faced with strong winds and choppy waters on an island hop a few years back. Would the trip have been smoother in a foiling ferry? A video from Candela has the answer.

Whether you're running one of the first commercial foiling e-ferry services or not, it's important for your vessels to be on time. And right on schedule, Vessev's VS-9 has now officially joined the largest ferry operator in New Zealand.

With sights set firmly on supporting the development of hybrid boats, BlueNav has integrated its unique whale-inspired hubless electric drive into a new smart propulsion system with both ICE and electric power.

Back in May, Vessev began sea trials of an foiling e-ferry billed as "the Rivian of the sea." A partnership was then inked with New Zealand's largest ferry company, and now commercial approval has been granted. Tickets for the first rides are on sale.

Swedish electric foiling innovator Candela has revealed that its P-12 ferry is heading to the US for the first time. Thanks to a partnership with Fly Tahoe, the craft will drastically cut travel times for tourists heading to Lake Tahoe's ski resorts.

If you like the idea of rising above the waves on foiling e-boards but would rather be seated, Finland's Foil.One has launched the Pegasus – a sporty electric hydrofoiling boat for one that was inspired by vintage F1 racing cars.

While battery-electric ferry boats may be more eco-friendly and require less maintenance than their diesel-burning counterparts, they're still not perfect. That's why scientists are now looking into powering small ferries using nothing but compressed air.
