    WaVeS #30 Electric Boats and Boating News April 25, 2026

    Plugboats WAVES (Watts, Amps, Volts, Electrons) is a regular collection of electric boat and boating news items that we have written about before and are updating, or items we are going to write about but are waiting for more information / developments – or items that are just tidbits you might find interesting. Here is WaVeS #30, with electric boat and boating news about: Tenth electric ferry for British Columbia, Canada ePropulsion extends partnership with SailGP racing series Norway to get 20 Candela electric flying ferries Roxen starts serial production of personal watercraft A fully electric cruise ship concept unveiled  Explomar supply electric propulsion for Nigeria ferry fleet Listen to this article as a podcast British Columbia, Canada, gets 10th electric hybrid ferry BC Ferries is the largest ferry operator in Canada, with 37 ships on 25 routes that move more than 22 million passengers and 8 million vehicles every year. Netherlands builder Damen constructs the operator’s Island Class electric hybrid ferries that provide services connecting the dozens of islands along Canada’s west coast in the province of British Columbia. The tenth vessel of the class, named ‘Island K’asa‘  has now been launched. The name means ‘otter’ in the Kwak’wala language of the Wei Wai Kum nation. It represents a guardian spirit and is a reminder of life’s interconnectedness.  The Island Class ferries are equipped with batteries and diesel-hybrid technology. Some are now operating on diesel alone, some as hybrid. The end goal is to have all operate as full electric ferries once shoreside charging infrastructure becomes available. With a coastline of about 1,000 km (625 mi) covering everything from the metropolis of Vancouver to some of the most rugged outposts on the planet, this is a long term commitment and process. The ferries are designed to improve passenger comfort, reduce environmental impact and increase vehicle capacity by 71% and passenger capacity by 135% on the routes they serve. That’s an additional 200 spaces for vehicles and 2,000 spaces for passengers. Nicolas Jimenez, President and CEO of BC Ferries, said, “Launching the final Island Class vessel is an important step in renewing our fleet and strengthening service for coastal communities. Aging ships are replaced with these more spacious, modern, and efficient hybrids. That’s essential to keeping ferry service reliable for the people and communities who depend on it every day.” Damen website ePropulsion and SailGP extend partnership through 2027 Electric boat motor manufacturer ePropulsion and the SailGP international racing series have extended their partnership through to the end of the 2027 season.  ePropulsion has supported SailGP’s on water operations since 2021 and will continue to provide the electric motors that power SailGP’s small craft and support vessels fleet, helping to reduce emissions across all championship operations as part of the championships’ broader climate goals and on-water transition plans. The renewed partnership builds on this strong foundation, further reducing emissions across event operations while demonstrating the reliability and performance of electric propulsion in demanding, real world conditions. Danny Tao, co-founder and chief executive at ePropulsion, said: “SailGP continues to set the standard for high-performance, purpose-driven sport, and we’re proud to be continuing our partnership. Working together has already delivered meaningful progress, and we’re excited to build on that momentum.” The 2026 SailGP campaign began on January 17 with the Oracle Perth Sail Grand Prix in Australia, and will run through the grand final in Abu Dhabi, UAE, on November 28 and 29. ePropulsion website SailGP website Norway operator purchases 20 Candela electric ‘flying ferries’ Boreal, one of Norway’s largest public transport provider has ordered twenty Candela P-12 electric hydrofoil vessels from Sweden’s Candela, marking the world’s largest electric fleet to date. Norway is the world’s most electrified car market, with around 99% of new car sales fully electric but electrifying high-speed passenger vessels is challenging. Conventional e-ferries lack the range and speed to replace the diesel-powered fast ferries that connecting communities across the country’s deep fjords and more than 100,000 kilometers of coastline. The Candela P-12 hydrofoiling technology solves this. Computer-controlled hydrofoils—wings mounted beneath the hull—lift the vessel above the water when the ferry’s speed is over18 knots. By flying above the waves, drag is drastically reduced, and energy consumption drops by around 80 percent compared with conventional vessels of similar size. The ride is also extremely stable for passengers. The P-12 combines a cruising speed of 25 knots with a range of around 40 nautical miles, enabling electric operation on routes previously only served by diesel vessels. All of this with cabin noise levels of just 64 dB—lower than other ferries, modern trains or aircraft. Another advantage (see the item about BC hybrid ferries above) is that the P-12 can fully recharge in an hour using standard DC car fast chargers, avoiding the expensive megawatt-scale charging systems required by conventional electric ferries. The capability was recently demonstrated during a voyage between Sweden and Norway, when the P-12 completed the longest electric sea journey to date, recharging along the route using a mobile battery system transported by a Ford F-150 Lightning pickup. Read: Candela sets hydrofoiling record with Baltic Sea crossing “Candela P-12 is the only electric passenger vessel that combines longer range with high speed without requiring extensive charging infrastructure says Nikolai Knudsmoen Utheim, CEO at Boreal. “With this fleet, Boreal wants to take the next step—accelerating zero-emission high-speed travel along the Norwegian coast and helping bring electric vessels to new markets beyond Norway.” The first two P-12 vessels will be delivered in 2027 and are planned to enter service on one of several potential routes currently being explored in Norway and abroad. The remaining vessels will follow in yearly batches between 2028 and 2030. Candela website Roxen electric watercraft now in serial production  Sweden’s Roxen Innovations has announced that their electric personal watercraft is officially in serial production, marking a major milestone for the company and for lightweight electric water mobility. CE-Marking (CE = Conformité Européenne) of the battery was completed in 2025, showing that it complies with EU safety, health, and environmental protection standards. The past few months have been spent working through the rest of the recreational craft directive certification process that governs the safety, build quality, and compliance standards required to sell watercraft across Europe. The company says the 2026 production plan is set to 200 units, with 40 units already having been secured through pre-orders ahead of production start. Remaining 2026 orders will be allocated on a first come, first served basis, ensuring controlled growth while maintaining production quality. The hull of the Roxen electric watercraft weighs only 60 kg (LB), light enough to load onto a roof rack and be launched from any shoreline. It has a 22 kW (≈ 30 hp) electric motor that can deliver speeds of up to 30 knots (55 kph / 35 mph), and a 5.25 kWh swappable battery pack. “With investments secured and production now underway, we are entering the next phase of our journey,” says Co-Founder and CEO Magnus Sundstedt. “The interest we are seeing confirms that the market is ready for a lighter and smarter electric alternative.” Customers interested in securing a 2026 delivery slot should visit the Roxen website. Roxen website  Fully Electric Cruise Ship Meyer Werft, one of the largest shipyards in the world, has built 61 huge cruise over the past few decades for companies like Disney and Carnival. At the recent Seatrade Cruise Global in Miami, the company presented its concept study for a fully electric cruise ship under the project name ‘Vision.’ The ship is 275 metres (900 feet) long and accommodates 1,856 passengers. It is set to be the world’s first fully electric cruise ship with a Gross Tonnage (GT) exceeding 82,000. (GT is the measure of a ship’s total calculated size). The battery system will be supplied by Corvus Energy. No details have been shared about capacity of the battery system or the exact range of the concept, but it is expected to be sufficient for the majority of typical European cruise routes, such as the journey from Barcelona to Civitavecchia near Rome – about 600 Nm (1,110 km / 690 mi). Meyer Werft is optimistic about charging infrastructure. “By 2030, around one hundred ports across Europe will offer the required charging infrastructure,” the company states. For longer distances, the ‘Vision’ can optionally be realized as a hybrid variant with small generators, for example, for transatlantic crossings. Cruise ships burn extraordinary amounts of fossil fuel and put enormous amounts of CO2 into our atmosphere, and Tim Krug from the Meyer Werft Concept Development Group said “Vision enables a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of up to 95%.” The benefits of battery electric propulsion go beyond the environmental, though. The sun deck can have views unobstructed by the usual smokestack (funnel) and shaft for exhaust gas treatment. For shipboard comfort, there is much less noise and vibration. “We asked ourselves how we can use innovation to reduce CO₂ and contribute to decarbonization — not in 50 years, but much sooner” said Krug. “The technology is available today and we could deliver the first ship in 2031 if it were ordered this year.” Meyer Werft Press Re

  2. E-Lektra Marine – new joint venture ready to electrify 7 major sailboat brands

    E-Lektra Marine – new joint venture ready to electrify 7 major sailboat brands

    Two of the world’s largest sailboat builders – Groupe Beneteau and Fountaine Pajot Group – have set out to speed up adoption of electric propulsion in the industry by creating E-Lektra Marine, a 50/50 joint venture whose first customers will be seven major brands that represent 60% of the global market: Beneteau, Fountaine Pajot Sailing Catamarans, Fountaine Pajot Yachts, Dufour, Excess, Jeanneau and Lagoon. Listen to this article as a podcast The goal of E-Lektra is to bring electric propulsion to 10% to 15% of the entire global sailing market by 2030, using a multi-tiered approach that offers: Electrification solutions – full electric or hybrid – for all sailboats from 9 to 24 metres (29 – 80 ft) A platform available for the whole boatbuilding industry A refit solution enabling current owners to switch to electric An optimized onboard energy management of all inputs and output: solar panels, motors, generators, ‘hotel load’ appliances and equipment, shore power connections Real-time monitoring through an easy-to-use display. Two of the barriers standing in the way of mainstream adoption of electric propulsion for sailing boats and yachts are price and boat owners’ unfamiliarity with the technology. These are both complicated by the current situation of a fairly wide variety of propulsion manufacturers each selling relatively few units. Excess 11 Bruno Thivoyon, Chairman of the Management Board, Groupe Beneteau, said “By combining our industrial expertise, we aim to establish open standards to make low-emission solutions simpler, more accessible and scalable.” Offering a standardized system from E-Lektra to the large international customer base of these major boat brands brings critical mass and economies of scale that lower unit manufacturing costs. It also makes it viable for E-Lektra to set up a  global network of approved and trained service partners.  Makes electric simpler, more financially attractive All of this matters not just for these seven major brands, but also for the hundreds of small boatyards who would like to offer electrification and the tens of thousands of boat owners who would like to look at a refit for their aging, inefficient, noisy and smelly diesel units. Sailors love sailing over powerboats because of the fresh air and the sound of the wind and open seas. But today’s reality is that more than 99% of sailboats are equipped with an internal combustion engine that is needed for harbour manoeuvres or when there is no wind. Larger boats may also need to burn fossil fuel in a generator to cover part of the onboard energy needs. Electricity is an attractive alternative, but sailing is a unique case in the energy transition. It combines the challenges of the automotive industry — silent propulsion with lower emissions — with the added challenge of housing people in the ‘vehicle’ for hours or days, sometimes weeks. Fountaine Pajot Aura 51 An electric car can be recharged at any time from a power outlet, but a sailboat must be able to produce, store and distribute its own energy at sea. One of the advantages of electric propulsion is hydrogeneration, where the motor and propeller can turn into a generator that charges onboard batteries when the boat is under sail. Solar panels can be fitted on surface areas for more renewable energy. Larger boats, though, may still need to burn fossil fuel to help cope with onboard demands. No matter where the energy comes from, a central challenge in a sailboat is not propulsion alone, but the overall management of energy use of everything – generation, battery storage, and distribution to navigation devices, galleys, water filtration and everything else a modern sailboat requires. Shared platform open to entire boating industry The leaders of the E-Lektra joint venture, Groupe Beneteau and Fountain Pajot Group, are among the sailing yacht builders who have already shown their commitment to fossil fuel free propulsion. They now have data not just about use of the electric propulsion on the boats, but more importantly, on the boat’s whole electric ecosystem. Groupe Beneteau has offered low-voltage electric solutions on under 12 metre sailboats for several years, while Fountaine Pajot deploys high-voltage hybrid solutions on catamarans longer than 15 metres (FEET). Their Aura 51 was winner of the Electric Sailboats category of the Gussies International Electric Boat Awards in 2024. Read: Beneteau commits to electric at Cannes 2021 The technologies they have each been using are ready to scale up. Rather than continuing to develop independent systems, the two groups have chosen to co-build this E-Lektra shared platform, and open it up for everyone in the boating industry. E-Lektra Marine will rely on a group of strategic partners that have already worked with Beneteau, FP or both: Alternatives Energies is a specialist in electric systems integration. Cirtem is an expert in energy conversion and management. EVE System focusses on battery pack design. The overriding mission is to design and deploy a simple, accessible, low-emission sailing system that is competitive with the internal-combustion alternatives. “Today, electrification is becoming essential; it must now be made accessible across the entire sailing market” says Mathieu Fountaine, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Fountaine Pajot. “The E-Lektra Marine joint venture with Groupe Beneteau shows that our industry can mobilize around the environmental objectives that we all share.” Websites: Beneteau  Fountaine Pajot  Dufour  Excess  Jeanneau  Lagoon.

    New Greenline 42 builds on decades of electric hybrid yacht experience

    It is safe to say that no company has more experience in designing and building an electric hybrid yacht than Greenline, who launched their first – the Greenline 33 – in 2008. Since then they have delivered more than 1,000 yachts in a line-up that now includes 9 models from 39 to 59 feet. Listen to this article as a podcast One of the most popular and enduring has been the Greenline 40, launched in 2011. Fifteen years later, in response to a changing market, they have introduced the new Greenline 42 that combines the most popular aspects of the 40 with many of the innovative and forward thinking features of the Greenline 45 that debuted in 2021. “Greenline Yachts believes that fantastic design has no shelf-life, so we don’t seek to constantly update or replace our models,” said Greenline CEO Vladimir Zinchenko. “When we do introduce a new boat, it is therefore no light decision. You can be sure that the new Greenline 42 has absorbed every inch of our know-how and will provide a reference in the market for decades to come. Timeless, long-lived design is a key part of our Responsible Yachting commitment.” ‘Superdisplacement’ hulls for electric hybrid yachts A key part of that commitment and philosophy is their “superdisplacement” hulls that have proven their capability over the years of providing efficiency at both lower and higher speeds, which is particularly important for electric and hybrid boats.  Read: 100% electric Greenline 40 with mCrate propulsion Like all boats in the Greenline range, the 42 is available as an electric hybrid. In this case the system is made up of 2 x 250hp diesel motors coupled with two 23kW electric motors. The electric motors are generally used for lower speeds in and around harbours or along coastal and inland waters. They offer a range of about 20 nautical miles at five knots (37 km at 9.5 kph, 23 mi at 6 mph). The hybrid model can be outfitted with up to 77 kiloWatt hours of lithium battery capacity. While adding 2 feet (less than a metre) of length to the Greenline 40 doesn’t seem like much, it makes a big difference to the 42 in a few ways, thanks to a naval architecture rethink by Micad, and interior and exterior by famed designer Marco Casali. One of the most important developments was analyzing the superdisplacement hulls of the 40 and 45 to optimize the hydrodynamics for the 42 and achieve a higher max speed (30 kts / 55 kph / 34 mph) and lower energy consumption at all speeds. Another adaptation means that the solar roof of the 42 can hold 10 panels – the same as the larger 45. They deliver over 4kW in good conditions, contributing to range under electric propulsion and is enough to run power all onboard appliances on solar energy when the boat is at anchor. ‘All of the space is open air’ Casali has designed yachts of every size and propulsion, including a 42m (140 ft) hybrid model unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show last year. Speaking about the Greenline 42, he told me “You have to think in a different way when doing an electric or hybrid boat and consider the people who will be the owners.” “They are people who are paying attention to sustainability, but also, this boat is not a show off boat. It is a boat that people will be living on for longer times. So we want to improve life on board. They want to be in a wonderful bay at night enjoying the air and quiet – without the smell of petrol and having to run a generator to charge their phone.” Having worked with Greenline on other projects, including the Greenline 45 and 58 Fly, Casali and his team aimed to reinvigorate rather than reinvent the classic lines and practical luxury the company is known for. For the 42 he and his studio designed the exterior and three interior styles. “The Greenline 42 was an exciting challenge for us” he says. “We wanted to follow the huge success of the other models by adding even more comfort on board and a more modern shape respecting our timeless lines.” “In the cockpit, we used all of the sliding windows to create the idea that during a nice day, all of the space is open air. We also enlarged the cockpit, and for the galley and the sofa area we worked to connect it to the sea, which is quite different from the other models. And on the lower layout we succeeded in adding the option for a second head –  a nice addition for a family.” Greenline’s ‘most customizable model ever’ One of the dominant themes of the 42 is customization. In fact the yard says it is their “most customizable model ever”. There are two cockpit layouts, and the aft area can be configured as a large alfresco dining area or spacious lounging deck with dining inside. There is also a huge variety of options for cabins, storage space, toilets, electrical appliances and furniture. The idea is that owners can design their yacht as it suits them for coastal cruising, long-distance sailing or weekending. Aside from the hull efficiency, hybrid propulsion and solar panels, Greenline also pays attention to sustainability in its construction processes and every aspect of its business. The high-tech foam sandwich used to strengthen the hull comes from recycled PET plastic. Lay-up is through vacuum infusion to ensure very precise material use with little waste. Leftover foam is reused by a neighbouring company to produce home insulation. Any offcuts of wood from the interior fit-out are collected and pressed into heating pellets. Among other initiatives, every Greenline yacht is delivered with biodegradable green yacht wash and the company publishes a yearly Responsible Yachting Report that provides a transparent overview of environmental performance, commitment to energy efficiency and efforts to uphold responsibility in protecting marine ecosystems. “Our customers have always wanted to immerse themselves in the natural world, enjoying special moments with friends and family on the water while valuing ecological responsibility and a lower environmental impact” said Zinchenko. “The Greenline 42 is a valued addition to our family of hybrid yachts, and we are sure her features will be appreciated for many years to come.” Greenline website  Marco Casali Design website The post New Greenline 42 builds on decades of electric hybrid yacht experience appeared first on Plugboats.

    Blade electric outboards adds power boost, driving modes, new throttle to 3 model lineup

    With the addition of a range of performance and handling improvements and innovations for 2026, Blade electric outboards is staying true to one of their core R&D Commitments: Continuous Improvement. Listen to this article as a podcast Founded in 2022 by a group of lifelong boaters who had also been colleagues in the engineering, aerospace and technology industries, Blade was born out of their shared frustration with the options then available for low-power outboards – both fossil fuel and electric. They had all grown up exploring the sun-soaked waters of Anna Maria Island, Florida, so their love of clean water, fresh air and the sights, sounds and smells of nature led them to an electric solution. It also fit well with their professional backgrounds. The goal was to merge aerospace precision with marine practicality ‘to redefine what electric propulsion can be’. They also knew that the high quality of the motor they were envisioning had to be matched with equally high value. To get combustion outboard buyers to take a serious look at electric they figured they needed to reach a retail price point of somewhere around $300-$350 (€250- €300) per kiloWatt hour. ‘Rudder style’ Blade electric outboards  One of the challenges of getting there is having the right supply chain. Fortunately, one of the Blade team has a 15 year history of operating aerospace manufacturing facilities that produce highly reliable and highly precise components for demanding environments.  The team set out designing and sourcing everything they would need – motors, batteries,  software, transom brackets, chargers and other accessories– to create what they refer to as the Halo Ecosystem that brings together the vision they had of power, control, and connectivity. By 2025 the first Blade motors were engineered, produced and on the market. The HALO series of motors come in three power ratings, with the model numbers matching closer to the horsepower than to the kiloWatts: the HALO 3 has 1.2 kW of continuous power, the HALO 6 has 3 kW and the HALO 10 has 6 kW. All are ‘rudder-style’ electric outboards, where the shaft also assists in steering the boat. All motors are built on 48 Volt architecture. The 3 and 6 have integrated batteries (1.7 kWh) while the HALO 10 has an external 5kWh battery that can also be used with the lower power models. Docking, Normal, Eco, Sport and Boost modes These first Blade electric outboards hit the quality and price goals the company had set, were well received and the team was pleased, but they also knew they had agreed on a core value as part of their mission. From the Blade website: Relentless innovation. Continuous improvement. Firmware updates, smarter tech, and new features every year will ensure our products are always ahead of the curve, giving boaters performance and confidence that others can’t match. For 2026 they have introduced a number of changes. Probably the most noticeable are the new advanced driving modes. Docking Mode allows gentle, precise control for low-speed maneuvering without any unexpected bursts. Normal Mode provides the balanced power and efficiency that is used for most occasions. Eco Mode optimizes the energy output to extend range and Sport Mode enables maximum thrust and acceleration for demanding conditions. There is also a short term Boost mode, activated with a button. On the HALO 6, for example, that provides a boost from 3 kW to 5kW that can be used for up to 30 seconds. Another innovation you can feel immediately is a redesigned throttle system that allows you to adjust the resistance of the throttle control for your own driving preferences. The throttle can also be configured for ambidextrous use and has an expanded 180º range of travel. Beneath the water, extensive work was done on developing, testing and refining the shape and pitch of the propeller blades for optimal hydrodynamics. Full speed and range figures on Blade website Other changes include real-time anti-theft tracking, remote diagnostics, and performance data through built-in connectivity; stronger bluetooth range with the HALO app along with next-gen GPS precision; and a new isolated   structure for the HALO 3 and 6 that protects and stabilizes the battery within the ‘rudder shaft’, even in rough water conditions. These are all well thought out innovations and improvements on a line of products that was already very good, especially in terms of performance. The HALO 3 has a maximum speed of 10.5 kph (CBCBCB) and maximum range of 40 km and 6.8 hours. The HALO 6 has the same maximum range and untime, but a top speed of 19 kpg (DDDDD) and the HALO 10 has a yop speed of 27 kph and range of 6.7 hours and 53 km (with the larger 5 kWh bexternal batery). Full results and details of how the testing was conducted can be found on the Blade website along with a ton of other information about all of the Blade electric outboard, batteries and app. There are also performance comparisons with other similarly powered electric outboards.

    Plugboats Guide to Electric and Hybrid Propulsion exhibitors at 2026 International Multihull Show

    The 17th edition of the International Multihull Show is set to take place April 22-26. A record number of boats with electric and hybrid propulsion are taking part. The show, at La Grande-Motte on France’s Mediterranean coast, demonstrates not just that multihulls have become one of the fastest-growing segments in global boating, but also how more and more boat builders and owners are embracing fossil-fuel-free (FFF) propulsion. In fact, 16 of the 80 exhibiting boats – 20% – are available with electric or hybrid as an option. Listen to this article as a podcast Multihulls partner especially well with electric and hybrid for a couple of reasons. The first is that two or three smaller hulls have less drag and are more efficient than monohulls, requiring less energy to move through water. The second is that the wider beams deliver larger surface areas for solar integration – with the bonus of more living space! Also Multihull Of The Year Awards As the name suggests, there are no monohulls at the Show, only catamarans and trimarans – both sail and power – and of course other manufacturers and retailers associated with the boat industry such as motors and sailmakers. The show is also the home of the annual Multihull of the Year Awards (MOTY). Both the show and awards are presented by the Multihulls World magazine and website. In this Plugboats Guide to Electric Boats Exhibitors we highlight some of the boats available with electric and hybrid propulsion – including those that are Finalists in the MOTY Awards – as well as some exhibiting electric motor companies. With those 16 exhibiting multihulls and 10 MOTY Finalists, this is by far the most ‘electrified’ version of the show. There are also five electric motor companies with booths at La Grande-Motte along with three electrified RIB tenders and one electric jetski.

    ENVGO NV1- from drone to high performance electric hydrofoiling leisure boat

    Tucked away among the superyachts of the 2026 Palm Beach Boat Show was the ENVGO NV1, a 26 foot electric hydrofoiling leisure boat that impressed with its speed, range and striking design. Long before drones were making headlines in war zones, a group of engineers in the Canadian tech hub of Waterloo, just outside Toronto, was developing early UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) that incorporate artificial intelligence, autonomous flight control and robotics. Listen to this article as a podcast The drones were designed for things like high danger industrial inspections and disaster zone assistance. They needed to have 100% reliability in every kind of weather and terrain condition. Operator training time couldn’t always be assured. So the drones had to be not just ‘smart’, but also easy and instinctive to use. Those are exactly the kinds of technologies and attributes needed for a high performance electric hydrofoiling leisure boat and the migration of that pioneering drone work to the new ENVGO NV-1 is one of the things that go into making the boat’s debut so impressive. Reliable, smart, easy to use The six co-founders of ENVGO all worked together developing that UAV technology at Aeryon Labs, which was sold in 2019 for about $200M. For techie types out there, it is the system behind the Teledyne FLIR SkyRanger R70. Mike Peasgood, co-founder of Aeryon and now CEO of ENVGO, grew up sailing, windsurfing and fishing and just loved being out on the water. He also loved fast, high performance automobiles, but not their combustion engines. When electric cars came along he was excited to see them bring instant torque, super low maintenance and ease of use to drivers and – like many others now in the electric boat world – he kept looking for the boat that would offer those same features and benefits. After the drone company was sold, he had time to seriously think about how to solve the problem of getting a clean tech solution on the water. He suggested to some of the core Aeryon team that the marine space might be a good area for applying their talents and experience to develop the next new and exciting thing. 10 times more power to push a boat through water While none of them were really ‘boat people’, they were engineers and problem solvers who, as Mike says “like a challenge and like building really cool technology that doesn’t exist in the world. This was a really cool challenge, and the other huge driver was the idea of creating a better future where we could bring a clean tech solution to the industry, help clean up our lakes and rivers.” Taking the classic engineering approach, the first step was analyzing whether there was an opportunity to build a technology solution that solves a real problem. The real problem is the physics that face all electric marine propulsion: it takes about 10 times as much power to push a boat through water as it does to push a car through air. For slower boats that is not necessarily an issue, but for high performance boats it is a significant challenge. An obvious solution – especially if you come from the world of making things fly – is to take the hull out of the water and have it travel through the air. That’s hydrofoiling. And it uses about a quarter the energy of a traditional boat. The assignment was perfect for the drone engineers. As Mike says, “It’s not a marine design challenge. It’s an aerospace design challenge. It was right in their sweet spot.” The team started by building a small proof of concept boat, about the same size as their UAVs – one metre (three feet) long. They were looking at adapting the Aeryon technology and figuring out the differences between being in the water versus being in the air. Next came a 3.6m (12 ft) single person hydrofoiler, which is when their drone technology started to come to the fore, ready for modification. Hydrofoiling an aerospace challenge, not marine A hydrofoiling boat is similar to a quadrotor (four propeller) drone like the ones Aeryon developed. They both have a strong tendency to flip upside down if left to their own devices. Mike explained to me that traditional small planes are actually quite stable. If you let go of the controls that determine the pitch (front to back level) and roll (side to side level), they will still basically stay on course and you only have to control the altitude. “But with a quadrotor drone – or hydrogoiling boat – you need a real time flight controller in there, a piece of hardware that is measuring the roll and pitch of the vehicle all the time, and updating the controls really, really quickly.” Like 250 times a second quickly. That, in turn, requires sensors. There’s a unit inside the boat that works in conjunction with accelerometers and gyroscopic sensors that are identifying how quickly things are rolling and pitching in the orientation of the boat. Outside the boat, radar sensors measure the height of the hull above the surface while sonar sensors measure the depth of the water underneath. Then there is a GPS sensor so the system knows where the boat is in the world and how fast it’s going. Read: Australia gets electric hydrofoiling ferries All of this information is fed to the flight controller, which then sends out the commands to the hydrofoiling apparatus. That consists of one foil under the hull across the beam of the boat, about halfway between midship and the transom. Two vertical struts raise and lower that foil and also have propulsion motors of about 110 kW each (≈ 150 hp, 220 kW / 300 hp in total). Under the bow there is a much smaller foil with no propulsion. The foils have ‘elevators’, just as an airplane wing does, flaps that are moved up and down to control the height of the boat (pitch). Ailerons at the tips of the rear foil adjust to control the roll. Focus on electric hydrofoiling leisure boat At the same time ENVGO was building their prototypes, they were also evaluating another important part of success – the market opportunity – what other players there are, what they are building and who they are building it for. There are only a handful of major electric hydrofoiling companies: Artemis (UK), Candela (Sweden), MobyFly (Switzerland), Navier (USA) and Vessev (New Zealand). While most have boats available for the recreational / leisure user, they are all more focused – to varying degrees – on the commercial ferry, watertaxi and work boat markets. True to Mike Peasgood’s original thoughts, ENVGO had always seen itself as building high performance boats for individual owners and they decided that sticking to that vision was the best route forward. They knew they had an amazing engineering team, but they also knew that they needed equally talented people in the worlds of naval architecture and boat design to build something really beautiful and as fast and efficient as they knew it could be. They found the first piece of the puzzle just an hour and a half drive away, in Midland, Ontario. Steve Killing is a Canadian yacht designer and naval architect who started with C&C Yachts in 1973 and has a few  championship C-Class sailboat hydrofoil designs to his credit. In 2013, when New Zealand’s America’s Cup team decided to be the first to launch a foiling AC72 and fly with both hulls clear of the water, they called on Steve to help with hull development and other design elements. So did ENVGO. Worked on 1st America’s Cup foiling yachts Killing brought his experience to the bottom of the NV1 hull, and for the top and aesthetics he connected ENVGO with J. David Weiss of Designova. Weiss has designed more than 50 vessels worldwide, of every size and description, and has been cited as a leading Industry Disruptor in the Future Yachts book from BOAT International. The NV-1 at Palm Beach showcased Weiss’ vision of a futuristic silhouette that is also vaguely retro, with curves and a body contour that evokes an overall vibe of space travel, even while sitting at the dock. The interior has room for six while also accommodating the retracting struts of the rear foil in bulkheads behind the passenger seats. Like a performance car, it is all built and designed for the driving experience. I had the chance to go out on the NV1 a couple of months before the Palm Beach Show. I was there with other members of the boating and general media, almost none of whom had ever been on an electric boat – let alone one that also flies on hydrofoils. As always, everyone is struck by how an electric boat moves away from the dock without any noise whatsoever. The surprise was even more pronounced because the shape and feel of the NV1 implies the kind of big power and speed that people equate with big noise. At slower speeds the NV1 behaves just like any boat of similar size. Then, at about 20 knots (37 kph / 23 mph), the hull begins to rise, almost imperceptibly at first, a bit like when an airplane first takes off. “Technology plus a beautiful piece of artwork” It takes a couple of seconds, but you then realize that you are in the air. Even though you are travelling at significant speed, it feels more like you’re floating than flying. We were out on a fairly calm day, but there were still waves, and there is a bit of a disconnect because you can see them underneath you but the boat is unaffected. The ride is rock solid. It is literally like no other boat you have ever been on. In terms of piloting the boat, ENVGO’s flight controller technology does all of the work. It does not require much more adjustment than if you are driving a traditional boat that is new to you. For those who wonder what happens if the foils hit an underwater object, they are built to handle small underwater debris without issue, and are designed to shear off at a specific point in the case of a collision with a larger object like a rock or log. Charging can be done dockside with Level 1 (Level 2 if avai

    High speed electric boat charging set to expand with partnership of experts

    Network operator Aqua superPower and EV charger manufacturer Hellonext have announced a strategic and synergistic alliance that will accelerate the growth of high speed electric boat charging throughout Europe and beyond. Aqua superPower already manages the operations of 50+ high speed DC chargers in Sweden, France, Portugal, Spain, Monaco Italy, the UK and US. That includes charging corridors along the Mediterranean’s French/Italian Riviera and England’s South Coast. Listen to this article as a podcast Hellonext, internationally recognized for its advanced DC technology, manufactures a range of 10 commercial and residential EV chargers and battery energy storage systems. It has multiple DC marine installations already operating in Spain. The partnership combines Hellonext’s best-in-class charging hardware with Aqua superPower’s fully integrated digital operating ecosystem designed specifically for marine use. It also reflects the companies’ shared enthusiasm for and commitment to accelerating a European and global transition to electric marine transportation. The world of electric charging – both for land and water transport – is a bit of an alphabet soup of initials that needs some explanation, so bear with me. What we call a charger, or a charging station, is known in the industry as a Charge Point, so the company that operates a charge point (or a bunch of them) is called a CPO – Charge Point Operator. The front end and back end of electric boat charging Each charge point requires a system to manage the energy going in an out, which involves the handling of both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) electricity in various voltages, from low to extremely high. That system is called the Charge Point Management System (CPMS). Most people don’t use the same charge point all the time for their EVehicle or EBoat, so they usually rely on the services of a company that makes things more convenient and streamlined, particularly for payment and reporting on things like how much electricity was transferred at what time. The company that enables and manages those kinds of interactions is called an eMobility Service Provider – EMSP. In the background, the EMSP coordinates with the CPMS (which coordinates with the CPO), your credit card company and maybe other things – like your vehicle or boat – using a Subscriber Identification Module – SIM, like the SIM card on your phone. That assures that every part of the system knows it is you that is using the services. Part of what the EMSP has to do, of course, is make sure that everything can be connected wirelessly and securely from places like marinas and ports. In some cases it may even monitor the state of charge in your electric boat while it’s out on the water. Aqua superPower is a combination of all those things: CPO, CPMS and EMSP. In fact, being all of those things is what makes them attractive to places like marinas and ports. The marina or port only needs to be a location for the charge point. Aqua oversees the installation and coordination with the charge point manufacturer, electric grid and utilities, then manages all of the electricity interactions along with the payment to the utilities and collecting the payment from the end user. Aqua also manages all repairs and maintenance. The marina or port (which does not want to be concerned with any of that!) simply gets a percentage of the revenue. The only thing Aqua doesn’t do is manufacturer the actual charge points, which is where Hellonext comes in. Hellonext has already proven in Spain that they can design and build the hardware necessary to charge things that move on the water. And Aqua’s international network, with charge points from other manufacturers located everywhere from bustling seaports to remote lakeside marinas, has proven that their system can manage the rest, with its global network consistently achieving over 98% uptime. Aqua superPower and Hellonext integrate seamlessly Going forward, Hellonext’s advanced AC and DC charging systems will be seamlessly integrated into Aqua superPower’s backend platform. Aqua will manage end-to-end operations, including remote monitoring, dynamic load balancing, billing, roaming, maintenance coordination, and 24/7 customer support.

  One other benefit Aqua superPower brings to the party is the other end of the wire – the hardware and software that goes in the boats themselves. Connectors and systems for electric boats are all compatible with every level of standard EV charging, but there are things that need to be addressed to optimize them and make them safe and trouble-free for marine use. Aqua is already working with and trusted by dozens of electric boat and motor manufacturers as well as combustion boat manufacturers looking at electric possibilities. Hellonext, for their part, is a division of the Petrotec group, which started 40 years ago building fossil fuel filling stations and has more than 200,000 installations operating in 100+ countries. No matter what you may think of fossil fuels, that depth of experience and breadth of distribution is important for success of the world’s overall transition to electric energy. Getting distribution and critical mass of charge points is essential to growing electric boating, just as it was in the beginning years of EVs (and still is in some countries). The collaboration and combination of Aqua superPower and Hellonext’s experiences and resources can immediately ‘jump start’ that infrastructure-building process by making it even easier and simpler for waterside destinations to go electric.

    WaVeS #29: Electric boat and boating news March 31, 2026

    Plugboats WAVES (Watts, Amps, Volts, Electrons) is a regular collection of electric boat and boating news items that we have written about before and are updating, or items we are going to write about but are waiting for more information / developments – or items that are just tidbits you might find interesting. Here is WaVeS #29, with electric boat and boating news about: Princeton world speed record holders test at Lake X New electric trimarans for silent, sustainable Arctic cruising Entries open for Polyboat Challenge II E1 Series adds second Africa race to fill 2026 schedule Candela hydrofoiling ferries secure funding to meet rising global demand Winners of French Electric Boat Association Annual Awards China’s Asia Yacht Show adds Expo with electric/hybrid/green focus Check out all of the WaVeS e-boat news collections Listen to this article as a podcast Student world record holders take new electric speedboat to legendary testing waters Princeton University’s Princeton Electric Speedboating team (PES) has completed a series of tests of their latest cutting-edge electric hydroplaning boat – the Eagle 1 – at Mercury Racing’s storied high-performance marine proving waters, Florida’s Lake X. In October of 2024 PES set the certified world electric speed record of 114.20 miles per hour (184.79 kph, 99.24 knots) and they are hoping that the expertise and experience of Mercury Racing can help them set a new one with Eagle 1. Mercury has been crucial to fossil fuel powerboat racing for decades, and also works with both the E1 Series and new Formula 60 electric speedboat racing championships. For the Princeton team, testing at Lake X provides a controlled environment with a mountain of historical data along with on-site safety, rescue and technical support. Read: New Formula 60 electric speedboat racing circuit Eagle 1, the 16.5 foot (5 m) all-electric hydroplane has been designed and built by PES in conjunction with JW Myers from Black Sheep Racing. Carbon fibre decks span the entirety of the 7.5 foot wide (2.1m) vessel. The powertrain is designed to reach over 220 kW (300 hp) of power and has two battery modules, each rated at 356.4 V nominal (388.8 V maximum). Evan Callas, President of Princeton Electric Speedboating said “The experience at Lake X gave us a rare opportunity to validate our electric propulsion system in a world-class environment while pushing performance limits.” The goal for gauging the boat’s capabilities is sustained speeds above 145 mph (235 kph / 126 kts) for up to one minute, although the official 1 kilometre run should only take about 20 seconds. The test session at Lake X, with pilot John Peeters at the helm, successfully represented the vessel’s first operations at these target speeds. The team is aiming to go for a new record later this year. Princeton PES website Electric trimarans receive classification to grow sustainable Arctic tourism opportunities For the past six years Brim Explorer’s electric and hybrid catamarans have provided silent, sustainable cruises on some of Norway’s most beautiful and environmentally delicate fjords. A popular tourist attraction that is among the World’s Top 50 Travel Adventures, the cruises have also been testing grounds for a next generation of electric trimarans purpose-built for conditions in both the fjords and Arctic open seas. The vessels have been developed by Brim Tech, the technology arm of Brim Explorer, and incorporate lightweight structures and a highly optimized hull developed by WIND Naval Architects to minimize energy consumption. Each vessel can accommodate up to 180 passengers. A single charge is expected to provide a range of approximately 100 nautical miles at 20 knots. (185 km at 37 kph / 115 mi at 23 mph). The new ships have been given the blessing of classification society Bureau Veritas, important for large vessels because it certifies that new technologies are integrated safely and reliably. It matters for things like insurance and therefore investment and acceptance by government agencies and large tourism and travel companies. It also adds verifiable credibility to large scale electric and hybrid propulsion as a whole. David Barrow, SVP for Western Europe and Americas at BV, said the project highlights the growing momentum behind electric propulsion in maritime transport. “Bureau Veritas is delighted to partner in bringing these advanced trimarans to life and supporting the safe integration of advanced technologies for sustainable maritime solutions. ” Espen Larsen-Hakkebo, CTO & Co-founder of Brim Explorer, said: “The new trimarans represent the next step in our ‘electric by design’ approach. After six years of operating our boats in tough conditions in Northern Norway and Oslo, we are now able to confidently and excitedly develop a new generation of high-speed, long-range, zero-emission boats.” Brim Explorer Entries open for second Polyboat Challenge Entries are open for the second Polyboat Challenge (PBC), launched in 2024 by Kevin Desmond, a passionate advocate for electric boats and author of ‘Electric Boats and Ships: A History’. The PBC invites electric boatbuilders, boat owners, and boat rental companies to have fun and help the environment by taking electric boats on as many different types of community cruises as they can from April 2026 to March 2027. There are suggested cruise types on the Challenge’s website and they include on-water occasions and events like Gourmet Cruises, Educational trips, Plastic Fishing (plishing) to protect waters, Wildlife excursions, History trips and Costume Cruises. The first PCB was won by Dolphin Eco Recreation of India, known as the ‘makers of the most colourful electric boats in the world’. Their fleet of boats has been used for everything from marriages to pilgrimages to political campaigns, dinner cruises and more. Mr Ataluya Bajaj of Dolphin says their mission is simple: “To bring the pleasure of electric boating to the common man.” To find out how you can participate in the 2026/27 Polyboat Challenge, Mr. Desmond invites you visit the PBC website through the link below. Polyboat Global Candela electric hydofoiling ferries raise €30M as oil prices begin to soar Electric hydrofoil builder Candela is using its largest funding round to date to finance a second manufacturing facility and scale production of its groundbreaking P-12 ferries. Growing global demand is becoming more pressing as concerns mount about the dependability and costs of fossil fuel distribution. The private-sector arm of the World Bank Group – the International Finance Corporation (IFC) – contributed €8 million to the round, with all existing Candela shareholders — EQT Ventures, SEB Private Equity, KanDela AB, and Ocean Zero LLC – participating in the other balance. Candela has now raised €129 Million since its inception ($145M), making it the world’s best-funded electric vessel manufacturer. The Candela P-12 has proven successful in Stockholm’s public transport, significantly reducing travel times and operating costs. Hydrofoiling ‘flying’ ferries use as little as 1/5 of the energy of water-bound vessels (no matter what fuel is used) and electric propulsion only adds to the financial and environmental benefits. With Candela’s serial production now up and running and first customer deliveries starting this month, more than 65 vessels are currently on order. Deployments are slated for the Maldives, Saudi Arabia’s NEOM project, Thailand and Mumbai, India —where a fleet of ten P-12s will cut airport-to-city-centre travel time from around two hours to 35 minutes. “From a physics perspective, we’re redefining waterborne transport by effectively creating a new category of vessel,” says Gustav Hasselskog, Candela founder and CEO. “From a business perspective,” he continues, “we’ve built a platform with industry-leading operating costs that serves multiple markets and frees operators from the financial trap of fossil-fuel ships. Graduating from small-series to large-series production allows us to deliver an even more attractive price point for our technologically advanced carbon-fibre vessels. They win on cost and performance, and that’s why investors are backing Candela. I’m truly grateful for that trust.” Candela E1 electric speedboat races coming to Second African site in September With the help of Will Smith, owner of one of the E1 electric speedboat racing teams, the Series has announced that Angola will host a round of the UIM E1 World Championship on September 12 and 13, marking another important milestone in the sport’s international growth. Smith, owner of the Visit Angola Westbrook Racing team, announced the news in Luanda, saying “Africa has always embodied passion and relentless drive. This September, the world will be watching and I’m excited to be part of it!” The Angola event will be E1’s second race location on the African continent and fills the final spot in the 2026 schedule. The season started in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on January 26 with other races slated for Lake Como (Italy), Dubrovnik (Croatia), Monaco, Lagos (Nigeria) Miami (USA) and Bahamas. Luanda is one of Africa’s most important maritime gateways and has a rich marine history. The city will work with E1 to highlight its sustainability efforts, driven in part by major investments in hydroelectric power, and will reinforce Africa’s growing role in the evolution of electric racing on water. Alejandro Agag, Founder and Chairman of E1 (and the Formula E electric car racing circuit) said “E1’s mission is to race in locations embodying innovation, environmental ambition and a deep connection to the water. Luanda and Angola deliver on all three, and we couldn’t be more excited to race here.” The E1 Series features teams owned by celebrities that include Smith, DJ Steve Aoki a
