Van Baerdt Jachtbouw case: electric propulsion

Boat

Docker E65

Based in Joure, the Netherlands, Van Baerdt Jachtbouw is known for creating boats that combine modern design with sustainable innovation.

Their Docker E65, built from durable HDPE, is a perfect example of craftsmanship meeting clean technology. For this model, Van Baerdt chose a WaterWorld WW3.5p pod-motor powered by two WW48-6800 batteries, combined with a sidemount throttle and display.

By integrating this fully electric system, this boat delivers quiet, efficient, and emission-free propulsion — ideal for enjoying the water and a comfortable cruising experience.
