Electric Boats

Last year, BeTriton introduced an innovative ebike camping trailer that doubles as an electric boat. Now it's back with an electrified version that puts out its own motor power so cyclists can tow it via a traditional bicycle, no need for an ebike.

We've been following the progress of the ambitious Neom project since its announcement in 2017, which includes a 105-mile-long, 660-ft-wide and 1,600-ft-tall megacity called The Line. Now we know how some of its tourists and residents will get around.

A remarkable semi-submersible ecotourism concept that takes passengers above and below the water has just received a zero-emission boost thanks to a new partnership between Platypus Craft and electric outboard manufacturer Evoy.

In the Belgian North Sea, maintenance vessels are now able to tether to an automatic cable at a wind farm to get their batteries topped up. The innovative system is the first of its kind and a major step in helping reduce emissions from shipping.

Born from the high-powered world of electric jetboarding, ZeroJet is now channeling all its energy into building performance electric boat drives. Its very first outboard combines drop-and-drive convenience with a superior power-to-weight ratio.

iYacht has been commissioned to help German TV and movie actor Daniel Roesner realize his vision for a "sustainable catamaran designed with circularity in mind." The 55-ft multihull will be built using scrap metal, reclaimed wood and recycled cork.

Clear Robotics is expanding its fleet of autonomous marine trash collectors. Its Class 3 vessel boasts more onboard storage capacity plus towed barge potential for extended cleanup operations, and has also been designed to tackle invasive weeds.

Switch Maritime has revealed that the US Coast Guard has given the green light for the first hydrogen passenger ferry in the US to enter commercial service. The Sea Change is expected to start full operations later this year.

Torqeedo, a major innovator of all-electric boat motors, is trying to further improve its clean track record. It's deep in the works on a new version of its iconic bright-orange propeller that's crafted from 100% recycled plastic.

Last time we looked in on ABT, it was taking a break from high-speed cars to put its unique set of skills to work on a VW camper van. It's now emerged from the forest to try its hand on a 603-bhp (450-kW) pure-electric boat.

BlueNav is bringing a more natural spin to its electric marine drive lineup. The all-new Whale Design propeller features blades that follow the contours of a whale to improve system efficiency.

Enautic started life with a hydrofoil e-jet ski before turning all its attention to a foil mini-boat. It seems it never totally shelved its original PWC, though, as it now presents the WaveFlyer Rogue with intent to "redefine what a PWC should be."
