They are also applying their technology to tugboats and other commercial craft. All boats are built from scratch, blending modern aerospace design and manufacturing techniques with traditional marine craftsmanship. Advanced software adds smart boating features like a touchscreen helm, intelligent ballast, integrated cameras and software-assisted captaining for ease and precision.   Arc website Duffy In 1966, Marshall “Duffy” Duffield placed the motor from a secondhand golf cart into the hull of a beat-up motorboat. Little did he know he had just launched the prototype for the Duffy Electric Boat, a revolutionary craft that has become the most popular, best selling electric boat ever made. Many of the thousands of owners have found that a Duffy is more than just an electric boat – it’s a lifestyle. It’s not about going fast or going far – it’s about spending time with your friends and family while you cruise silently and enjoy what’s most important to you. With iconic and timeless design, enduring quality and the simple joy of easy operation, Duffy boats create a full boating and ownership experience. Duffy website Edgewater Marine and Foster City Boat Rentals Edgewater Marine is the representative for new and pre-owned Duffy Boats 
in Northern California. From their docks in Foster City (in San Francisco Bay), they offer electric boat rentals 
to the public to enjoy the tranquil 4 miles long Foster City Lagoon. They offer three kinds of boats: the Duffy Sun Cruisers with all-weather enclosures, sun decks and interior tables, Cool 50’s and 60’s Classic Runabouts that have been lovingly refurbished and electrified, and colourful Whaly boats with ePropulsion electric outboard motors and seating for up to five.  Edgewater Marine and Foster City Boat Rentals website  ePropulsion ePropulsion is one of the world’s leading providers of electric outboard and inboard motors and sytsems ranging from 1 kw (≈3 hp) to 100 kW (130 hp) and installed on everything from fishing dinghies to sailing catamarans to passenger ferries. Their smallest motor, the eLite, is a 500 watt outboard with integrated battery wrapped in a rudder-shaped casing. It’s easily transported and charged – a cost effective electric option for sailors who need to take a small dinghy or RIB a short distance to get to their main boat. At the other end of the outboard scale is their X-Series, with 12, 20 and 40 kW models (16, 28, 55 hp) that deliver a powertrain efficiency of 88.2%. The fully integrated design includes an electric steering system, advanced driving assistance features, and smart connectivity services. The X-Series outboards and H and I Series Inboards use the modular eSSA technology (ePropulsion Smart System Architecture) to enable safe, reliable connection of all components – motors, batteries, monitors, steering, charging – while saving time and reducing complexity.  ePropulsion website EVOA EVOA is a US electric drive manufacturer who specialize in bringing high power propulsion to wakeboarding and watersport boats and other builders who are looking for top level speed and performance. When iconic boat brand ChrisCraft was developing their first electric model, it is EVOA that they called on for the drive system. The electric Mastercraft NXT21 has EVOA’s patented E1 system, as does the Supra EV550. When EVOA was asked by the world’s leading tender builders, Williams Jet Tenders, to collaborate on an electric version of the company’s popular EvoJet 70 model, the EVOA team came up with a single axial flux motor setup to match the 250 hp Yanmar that propelled the fossil fuel version.   EVOA website flite Flite and Mercury Racing recently launched the RACE model,  Fliteboard’s most powerful and fastest e-foil ever, engineered for elite riders seeking ultimate speed, precision, and flawless control. The RACE integrates motorsport-inspired design cues, including signature carbon Innegra detailing and aerodynamic contours that visually reinforce its racing pedigree. The board’s elongated, narrow profile improves takeoff and touchdown response, while the impeller and elevated mast configuration optimize speed and handling. Flite also has dozens of other e-foiling boards for every ability level. Bayfoils is Fliteboard’s partner in San Francisco and will have demos and other activities on site at the Festival.  flite website    Bayfoils website Flux Marine Flux Marine’s clean sheet approach to developing and designing their Flux 115 HP electric outboard has made them one of the leading innovators in US electric boat motor technology. A closed loop cooling system keeps everything operating at ideal temperatures without the need for seawater intake. Instead of cogs and gears they developed a belt drive system to deliver instant torque to the propeller quietly and efficiently. The dual strut lower unit that the belt operates within also allows seawater cooling. A modular battery architecture adapts to a range of boats. Two well-established and highly regarded boatbuilders, Highfield and Scout, partner with Flux to deliver quieter, cleaner and smarter boating experiences to their recreational customers in the RIB and sport/fishing markets. Flagship pontoons now offer Flux as an option on their premium pontoons and customized Garvey hulls with Flux electric outboards are making their mark in the workboat segment.   Flux website Genesis Marine Technologies Genesis Marine Technologies is a powertrain technology company that entered the marine market with the Genesis 24, a production-ready hybrid-electric wakesurf boat engineered for sustained high-load operation and all-day use. In the hybrid system, the electric motor drives the propeller at all times with the gasoline engine functioning solely as an auxiliary power unit. There is no mechanical connection between the fossil fuel engine and propeller. A typical 24 foot, 12,000 pound wakesurf boat consumes 40–50 US gallons of gasoline per day (150 – 190 L), while the Genesis 24 uses only 5–10 gallons (18 – 36 L). Pure electric mode enables surfing for 4 hours with out stopping. In hybrid mode customers can surf all day with no refuelling interruptions while the system charges dynamically or with set modes like Eco / Normal / Boost.  Genesis website Greenline Yachts Greenline is one of the pioneers of electric and hybrid yachting, creating the world’s first production hybrid yacht, and having delivered more than1,000 vessels around the world. Their fleet combines advanced hybrid and solar technologies with timeless design and exceptional craftsmanship to shape a smarter, more sustainable future for yachting without compromising comfort or performance. Read about the all-electric Greenline 42 with Ingenity mCrate drive In August of 2025 Greenline worked with Florida’s Ingenity propulsion experts to deliver the United States’ first fully electric Greenline 42. The yacht has twin Ingenity mCrate motors, which are designed to be a standardized ‘drop-in’ that allows boat builders to easily electrify models, but are also versatile enough to be customized for specific installations. The Greenline 42 has two mCrates, each with 135kW (185 hp). They are fed by a 400 volt, 189 kWh lithium NMC battery pack. On the roof of the main deck are 6 solar panels that can generate a total of 1.6kWp.  Greenline website  Ingenity website RAD Propulsion RAD Propulsion is a UK company best known for its RAD 40 electric outboard, with 40kW of power (≈55 hp). Unlike traditional outboards, where the entire motor swivels to steer the boat, the upper head and motor unit of the RAD 40 is stationary while the lower unit (lower leg) can rotate 180°. That frees up some space on the deck, gives a boat a sleek low profile and enables easy handling and docking. In November of 2025 they introduced a larger model, the RAD 120 (120 kW / ≈170 hp) and the RAD Console – a container with battery and associated electronics that makes for easy installation of the RAD system on both new boats and refits. RAD Propulsion is represented in the US by Charged Marine.RAD Propulsion website Sierra Wave Charter Experiences Sierra Waves is an electric boat charter company on the Sacramento River with premium electric boat charters for unforgettable adventures with zero emissions. The fleet of three boats they have are all exceptional: the Ski Nautique GS22E, one of the first electric wakesurf boats ever built, from a company that is synonymous with wakeboats; the Arc Sport, with its cutting-edge electric propulsion advanced hull design and premium comfort features. and the Taiga Orca PWC. The watercraft are available for any of seven experiences ranging from Sunset and Photography Cruises to the American River Eco-Tour, explorations of Old Town Sacramento, a Maritime Demo of what the boats are truly capable of and even a VIP Water Shuttle service from waterfront hotels to Old Town for NBA Kings games and arena events.  Sierra Waves website Silent-Yachts Silent Yachts first started exploring the possibilities of an ocean going yacht powered by the sun in 2004. They launched their first boat in 2009 after 15,000 nautical miles of research, then did more research and improved that iteration over the next five years. The resulting (and now iconic) Silent 60 was the world’s first serial production solar electric yacht and its updated, slightly longer sister the Silent 62 is still popular in the company’s line-up of seven models. The Silent 60 was winner of the Gustave Trouvé Electric Boat Awards in 2022 and the SY62 3-Deck was named “Most Efficient Yacht” at the 2024 World Yachts Trophies in Cannes Read about the Silent 62 transAtlantic journey Late last year the new owners of a Silent Yachts 62 Tri-Deck – which they named ‘100%‘ – sailed the boat across the Atlantic with Vice-Chairman of Silent-Yachts Steve Bell at the helm ably asisted by crew members Will and Mike. The team left Gibraltar on November 14, 2025 and landed in Antigua on December 12, having covered over 3300 nautical miles (6115 kilometres / 3800 miles).  Silent-Yachts Taiga Taiga has become the leader in electric jetskis by taking the electric system they developed for snowmobiles and adapting it to their personal watercraft, the Orca. They have also pursued a strategy of continual product and performance improvement. Last year they revealed a new technology that makes for better temperature uniformity within a battery pack. The optimizing of fluid flow across any hot spots of lithium-ion cell surfaces increases thermal transfer rates –  an important thing for both snowmobiles in cold weather and jetskis in hot weather. In warm weather marine environments it enables an increase in continuous battery power of up to 65% for the Orca. Taiga also updated their app by adding features like live encrypted GPS vehicle tracking, remote access and control, remote charging management, remote diagnostics and servicing and over-the-air updates to software.    Taiga website Torqeedo Torqeedo is the best known of the electric boat motor manufacturers. Started literally in a boat house in Germany in 2005, it was purchased by Yamaha two years ago. The company has a full range of not just outboards, but all electric boat motors – including inboards, pods and saildrives – for both recreational and commercial users. The Travel Series has outboards with 700W to 1600W  (.7 kW to 1.6kW). The Cruise Outboard and Pod Series’ have power outputs of 3, 6, 10, 12 and 25kW (5, 8, 13, 16 and 34 hp) and the Deep Blue Series of saildrives and inboards has motors of 25, 50 and 100kW (33, 66 and 133 hp) that can be all-electric or incorporated in hybrid systems for large powerboats, sailing yachts or commercial ferries.

Motor options range from small 5 and 10kW outboards and pods to the company’s flagship 180e high power outboard powertrain system and easy install P Powerpack with battery storage of up to 129 kWh.   Vision Marine website Volare Volare Boats was founded by lifelong friends and seasoned boatbuilders Matt Moore and Dustin Tupper in Charleston, SC. After years leading production and engineering at Scout Boats, they spun off and partnered with other industry veterans to create a high-performance, electric-powered day boat. They assembled a team that includes experts in electric propulsion, electrical systems, naval architecture, boat design and boatbuilding. The result is the Artemis23, with a unique and hyper-efficient hull and passive hydrofoil system. The design reduces energy requirements and achieves superior speed and range. An intuitive joystick navigation function was developed in lock step with their Volcan Propulsion System and provides 360-degree maneuverability to make docking, turning – and cruising – simple and safe.  Volare website Voltaic Voltaic was founded in 2022, giving itself the mission of “setting a new standard for capability, strength, and performance at sea.” A team experienced in EVs, AI, and autonomous systems from automotive and technology programs supporting global vehicle manufacturers had their first model– the AEW24 – in the water in January and have been conducting extensive tests since then. One of the features of the Voltaic concept is an aluminum hull designed as a platform for reconfigurable top decks that can be customized for recreational, workboat and defense users. The platforms are powered by a high-capacity 300 kWh battery system, providing up to 8 hours of runtime with rapid charging capabilities. The system is fully integrated into the hull architecture to optimize performance, stability, and onboard efficiency.    Voltaic website ZIN Zin Boats is a US Pacific Northwest company specializing in the next generation of high performance electric marine propulsion systems, luxury electric boats and custom yacht tenders. They offer two models – their original Z2R Runabout and the Z7 Convertible, powered by a 300 kW (400 hp) drive with a 95kWh battery pack that gives a proven range of more than 80 miles (130 km) at cruising speed. Top speed is 40 mph (64 kmph), and can be increased if you really want the thrill (it is electronically limited to extend range.) They also offers standalone electric propulsion systems with marine grade electric motors and inverters for small and large boats, with power ranging from 180 – 450kW (250 – 615 hp) and flexible built-in charging systems that can fully recharging (0-100%) in a couple hours. At the centre of everything is the proprietary ‘Magic Box’ that houses all core functions – like power distribution, management, steering, cooling – complete with plug n’ play wire harnesses. The universal system design is a boon for new boat builders or retrofit projects alike and can be installed into any vessel in less than a day.  ZIN website The post Plugboats Guide to the new Napa California Electric Boat Festival appeared first on Plugboats.
