Electrifying marine transportation

We make hydrofoiling electric boats and vessels. Our ultimate purpose is to speed up the transition to fossil fuel-free lakes and oceans. A traditional 7.5 m petrol boat consumes about 15 x more fuel than a family car, leaving a heavy footprint on our planet. Multiply that number with the number of ships and boats in seas worldwide and it’s easy to see that the concept of traditional combustion engine boats is simply not sustainable.

Our purpose is to re-think efficiency in marine transportation to radically push the performance boundaries of electric boats and ships The mission: to make an electric boat with better performance than the fossil fuel competitors.

Better batteries

By collaborating with electric car maker Polestar, we source battery packs with the high energy density and safety standards found in the auto industry.

Rectangle 629 1 — Using blockchain technology, Polestar aims to trace risk minerals from material sources to finished products. Transparency is a key driver for climate action, and the aim is to show the full lifetime carbon footprint from cradle to grave.

Purpose

Fossil-fuel freedom

Our ultimate purpose is to speed up the transition to fossil fuel free lakes and oceans. We do this by creating a high-efficiency, all-electric propulsion system for both leisure boating and public transport.
