The Benefits of Electric Boating

Electric propulsion for recreational boats simply makes sense.  

 

Not only are electric boats friendlier to our air and water, but they offer advantages not often considered, such as reduced maintenance time and cost, easy startup and operation for everyone, quieter outings, and the ability to breathe in the fresh outdoor air as opposed to exhaust fumes.

 

Many recreational boating applications, such as sailing, fishing, casual cruising, beginning watersports, shoreside camping, and “simply messing about in boats,” are ideally suited to today’s electric propulsion technology.
