A solution to reduce the impact on the environment caused by the use of pleasure boats with sustainable construction and navigation. Due to the pollution generated by the construction and use of pleasure boats, coastal areas and natural ecosystems are seriously affected. Faced with this problem, e-Boats are built in small local shipyards and are made up of 90% plant material, avoiding the use of fiberglass or polyester resins. Through electric propulsion, e-boats reduce hydrocarbon pollution, CO2 emissions and noise pollution, in and out of the water. The e-boat rental model enables greater fleet efficiency while protecting the natural ecosystem. Reduces C02 emissions by 60% compared to a traditional and equivalent boat. And up to 90% if the electricity to recharge the batteries comes from renewable sources.
