The Future of Electric Boats
Motorboats are fun, but some might say the nautical industry has been too traditional by failing to provide more options for electric boats. Electric cars are becoming more and more popular every year, so where are all of the electric motors for boats? As people become more concerned about greenhouse gas emissions and fuel efficiency, expect electric motors to play a bigger part in the boating industry in the near future.
The Canadian electric boat Fantail 217 – A Full Day of Fun for About 50 Cents in Electricity.
The electrical-powered Fantail 217 is inspired by the graceful fantail launches that have been navigating on the Thames, the Hudson River and wild Canadian lakes for more than a century. A truly remarkable craft. Fantail 217 can accommodate up to ten guests and will surely attract attention wherever you dock. The Fantail is silent, non-polluting, easy to handle, low maintenance and inexpensive to operate. Go picnic on the lake with a snack and a bottle of wine, sit around the retractable table and relax! it’s a fabulous new way to take your family and friends out on the water
FANTAIL MOTORING EXPERIENCE
I had the pleasure of motoring the Canadian Electric Boat Company’s Torqeedo electric motor powered Fantail to the Fort Lauderdale Jazz Brunch in December. It was my first experience captaining an electric boat for an extended cruise and a very enjoyable experience it was! My journey started early morning in Dania motoring west on the Dania Cut-off canal taking the scenic route to the South Fork of the New River. Cruising in silence on a cool morning with a warm sun on my back, sipping a hot coffee made a great start to the day.
