Electric Boats

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.

A watercraft quite unlike others, the Portless Catamaran is a large inflatable that rides to the water in a motor vehicle. It quickly inflates into a dual-deck cruiser and lounge propelled along cleanly and quietly by a small electric outboard.

When we looked at the Pol Lux earlier this year, it was still in the rendering stages. The unique solar-electric RV catamaran is now being tested and showcased on the water. It promises to be an exciting new way to enjoy the water all day and night.

One of the sleekest, sharpest boats of 2022, the Alte Volare is a new design study from Cockwells. The limousine tender relies on a combination of electric powertrain, retractable hydrofoils and fuselage-like hull for fast, efficient shuttling.

Building bridges over waterways isn't a simple endeavor, which is why many cities instead look to ferries. With that fact in mind, a new autonomous electric passenger ferry is being trialled in Norway, and it's said to be the first of its kind.

We've been following Iguana Yachts for over a decade – from tenders to taxis to sprinters, all rolling to the water's edge on retractable caterpillar tracks. Now the company is looking to fly above the waves with the launch of the Iguana Foiler.

Around the time we looked at the WaveFlyer "world's first electric hydrofoil jet ski," Neocean was developing an e-hydrofoil PWC of its own. The Overboat starts its ride as a mini-catamaran before rising over the water to hit speeds up to 20 knots.

The Scoter amphibious caravan isn't as large or pretty as the Caracat cat-camper, but it boasts a slick feature. The tri-camper's built-in wheels fold into the hulls, ensuring smooth flotation while eliminating the need for a separate trailer.

Back in 2019 we heard about the sleek electric Bubble Taxi, a five-seat enclosed hydrofoil created by French manufacturer SeaBubbles. The company has now announced a bigger and faster model, simply called the SeaBubble.
