Why electric
Switch from diesel to electric and your time on the water changes with it. You hear the water instead of the engine, breathe fresh air instead of exhaust fumes, and spend your weekends sailing instead of servicing.
Only the sound of the water. Talk on board without raising your voice.
No exhaust fumes or diesel smell, on board or in the water around you.
No oil changes, no fuel filters and no cooling water to worry about.
Full power from standstill for easy manoeuvring, with regeneration on every drive.

Motor, batteries, electronics and software, all made in the Netherlands. Down to the circuit board.
Every component talks to the others, so your display always shows your real remaining range.
Five years on the complete system. If anything needs attention, you know exactly who to call.

FAQ
Answers to what boat owners ask us most before they switch to electric.
That depends on your boat and how you use it. A pod sits below the waterline, an inboard drives your propeller shaft, the saildrive replaces the diesel on your existing saildrive and a hybrid works alongside your diesel. Not sure? Answer a few questions and a specialist will advise you.
Yes. Our inboard motors suit new builds and retrofits, and our hybrid systems work alongside your existing diesel. For sailing yachts, the saildrive installation kit fits most Yanmar, Volvo Penta and Technodrive saildrives and the switch takes about one day.
The display and the WaterWorld Connect app show your remaining range and cruising time, and the map tells you whether you will reach your destination on the current charge.
