Hybrid

WaterWorld Hybrid

PARALLEL HYBRID

The calm and torque of electric boating, with the range and power of diesel. Available as 4.0h, 10.0h and 20.0h, proven in vessels up to 20 metres.

Why the Hybrid

The best of both worlds, on one shaft.

Motor, batteries and diesel work as one fully integrated system. That makes it reliable, safe and easy to use, whether you sail silent or at full power.

Best of both

Sail silent on electric, or use your diesel for range. Both on one shaft.

Made for your boat

We calculate the setup from your diesel, gearbox and propeller, so it fits perfectly.

Charge as you go

Your diesel charges the batteries underway, so you need no shore power.

Safe and easy

Fully integrated with your batteries and protected automatically. One control for both.
