Discover our range of eBoat offerings below, each designed for a unique, custom experience on the water. These examples are just a preview of the many options available.
eCruiser
Ideal for navigating the Okavango Delta’s intricate channels, the eCruiser boasts an X40 motor (60hp equivalent) for agile handling and speeds up to 40 kph. Its 40kWh battery delivers an hour of full-speed operation, while the 5kWh hybrid inverter supports grid and solar charging, plus onboard power.
Pontoon Cruiser
Perfect for leisurely outings and sundowners, the Pontoon Cruiser features an X20 motor (comparable to 30hp) for comfortable cruising at 15kph. The powertrain can sustain the boat’s operation fully off-grid, thanks to a 40kWh battery and solar integration on the roof. With a 5kWh hybrid inverter, it offers steady, clean power for longer excursions, ideal for all-day trips without relying on shore power.
Hybrid Cruiser
The Hybrid Cruiser provides the best of both worlds for extended journeys and silent game viewing. Its Navy 6.0 Evo motor (10hp equivalent) operates quietly at up to 11kph for game-viewing. Paired with a 15kWh battery and a secondary petrol engine, it’s designed to reduce noise and emissions while on game drives, with the flexibility of a petrol motor for longer travel distances.
