Electric Recreational Boats

Range varies by model and speed. Most modern electric day cruisers provide between 25-50 nautical miles of range at a comfortable cruising speed (around 5-8 knots). Operating at full throttle will significantly reduce this range.

Charging is typically done using standard marina shore power connections (30A or 50A). Depending on the battery size and charger, a full charge usually takes between 6 to 10 hours, making overnight charging at the dock very convenient.

Absolutely. Quality electric boats are engineered with marine-grade materials, sealed electrical systems, and specialized coatings to withstand the harsh conditions of saltwater environments.

Yes, many electric boats offer comparable performance. While some are optimized for displacement cruising, performance models like those from Candela or Arc can reach speeds over 30 knots with the benefit of instant electric torque.

One of the biggest advantages of electric boats is the minimal maintenance. You can forget about oil changes, winterization of engines, or fuel system repairs. Maintenance primarily involves keeping the hull clean and periodic inspections of the electrical system and drive unit.
