Electric Boats

When conducting cruises in remote areas, eco-conscious guides don't always have the option of charging their electric boat from an existing grid. The Folkloric Explorer eBoat was designed with that fact in mind, as it can be completely solar-charged.

Performance Marine Yachting is launching the e801 high-speed electric day cruiser at the Austrian Boat Show this weekend, which features a 400+ hp inboard electric motor from the maker of the world's most powerful electric outboard, Evoy.

Winnebago Industries has been advancing the prospect of electric recreational vehicles for land, and now it's brought that effort to water. The Chris-Craft Launch 25 GTe is a fully operational 420-hp electric concept boat built for speeds up to 43 knots.

In 2020, Evoy presented the world's most powerful electric outboard motor and said even more power was on the way. It makes good on that promise with the all-new Storm 300+, a brawny outboard that does what its name says and spits out over 300 hp.

Austrian boat-builder Silent Yachts is already known for its line of solar-powered catamarans. Now, the company has announced its Silent 120 Explorer superyacht, which includes spaces for an eVTOL and a personal submarine.

Tasmanian builder of high-speed catamaran ferries Incat has announced that it's aiming to deliver the world's largest battery electric passenger ferry to Argentina-based operator Buquebus by 2025.

Last year, luxury EV brand Polestar agreed to supply batteries to foiling e-boat maker Candela. Now the first fruit of that deal has been revealed, a new version of the C-8 leisure craft that's now good for a per-charge range of 57 nautical miles.

The new Navier 30 adds a little length over the concept that preceded it while offering the same robust range and high-tech design. It has an autopilot system meant to evolve into full autonomy and an active foil system to breeze over 4-foot waves.

The Valo Hyperfoil aims to kick off a new class of "ultra-performance" electric personal watercraft, a two-seat jetski that can rise out of choppy water on extendable hydrofoils, and go faster than any other electric or hydrofoiling craft you can buy.

Zagato has become the latest world-famous Italian design house to dunk its incomparable artistry into the sea. The sleek, 26-foot Persico Zagato 100.2 promises to be a fast electric day boat and instant collector's item.

Silent Yachts is best-known for its impressive solarized battery-powered catamaran yachts. Now, realizing that electric yacht buyers would undoubtedly prefer a clean, quiet all-electric tender, the company presents the all-new Silenter Tender 400.

Saietta Group is readying its Red Dot-winning Propel S1 electric outboard for production. Designed to help meet future demand for clean, quiet e-boat drives, the compact 104-lb outboard uses a 10-kW pancake motor to propel boats for up to 56 miles.
