Why electric

The scenic route, reimagined.

Our 22′ European-style boat glides almost silently, so you can hear the herons, talk without shouting, and settle into the Lowcountry.

  • Whisper-quietNo engine roar, no exhaust fumes. Just conversation and birdsong.
  • Smooth & steadyA slow, stable ride that guests prone to motion sickness rarely notice.
  • Living-room comfortPlush seating around a center table, with Bluetooth speakers for your playlist.
  • Everything on boardA premium Business & Pleasure cooler stocked with ice and water, plus plates, cups, napkins and binoculars.
