What is an Electric Boat?
An electric boat is powered by an electric powertrain system. Whether the propulsion system is inside the hull (inboard) or sticking out at the back (outboard), they function similarly. A bank of batteries provides power to the electric motor, which turns the propeller.
What makes Vision Electric Boats special?
Vision Electric Boats are designed and optimized for efficiency. Unlike well-known Duffy Boats, which are more traditional, our boats feature optimized hulls and propulsion systems for increased range and efficiency. They have been rigorously tested in rental settings in California and Florida, with over 30,000 bookings and 100,000 happy customers. This extensive experience ensures that our boats are durable and reliable, even in demanding rental environments.
Why would someone choose an electric boat?
Electric boats offer a unique experience, allowing you to enjoy boating quietly and peacefully. Cruising at around 6 mph, you can take your time to appreciate the scenery, enjoy food and drinks onboard, and relax. Electric boats are perfect for exploring lakes, rivers, and inland bodies of water without disturbing the environment or wildlife.
What’s the greatest advantage of electric boats?
The greatest advantage of electric boats is their low maintenance requirements. Unlike gas-powered boats, electric boats are maintenance-free, saving you time and money. Electric motors are also more reliable than gas engines, providing a hassle-free boating experience. Cruising silently with friends, feeling the breeze, and soaking up the sun is the ultimate boating experience.
What can’t you do with an electric boat?
The main limitation of electric boats is speed, typically limited to 6 mph on most models. However, this speed is sufficient for most inland rivers and bodies of water. While our boats are capable of handling larger waves, they are not designed for high-speed or rough-water use. If you're looking for speed, check out our 180E E-Motion™ page.
What do you need to charge your electric boat?
Charging your Vision Electric Boat is simple. All our boats come equipped with inboard chargers that can be connected to a regular 120v extension cord. Charging is as easy as plugging in an extension cord.
Are electric boats secure?
Yes, electric boats are safe for passengers both inside and outside the boat. You can enjoy your boat ride without worrying about the safety of the propulsion system.
What’s the greatest benefit of electric boats?
The greatest benefit of electric boats is their environmental impact. By using electric propulsion, you can enjoy boating while minimizing your impact on marine life and the environment. Electric boats offer a sustainable way to enjoy the water, ensuring that future generations can experience the same joys of boating.
