Why buy an electric boat?
We tell you all about the advantages of electric boats.
- No pollution: Thanks to its electric motor, the electric boat is considered more environmentally friendly than traditional motorboats.
- Silent: Electric motors are much quieter than combustion engines. Therefore, the electric boat provides a more peaceful navigation experience, reducing noise and vibrations. This can be particularly appreciated during boat outings in environmentally sensitive areas or in places where noise can be bothersome.
- Reduced operating costs: Electric boats generally have lower operating costs compared to traditional boats. They require less maintenance as they have fewer moving parts and do not require engine oil changes. Furthermore, electricity is often cheaper than gasoline or diesel, enabling long-term cost savings.
- Performance and efficiency: Technological advancements in batteries have significantly improved the performance of electric boats. Nowadays, it is possible to go on long trips (9 hours) with a reasonable speed (8 km/h).
- Access to restricted areas: Some water bodies and coastal zones have restrictions on combustion engine boats due to their environmental and wildlife impact. The electric boat provides a viable alternative for navigating in these areas, allowing owners to explore otherwise inaccessible places.
- Comfort and ease of use: Electric boats are generally easier to operate than traditional motorboats. It does not require difficult starting or other complex operations.
It is important to note that the advantages and features of an electric boat may vary depending on the model, size, and technology used.

The electric boat stands out particularly for its convivial and democratic nature, as it does not require a license for a boat with a power of less than 4.5 kW (6 CV). The electric boat can be maneuvered by almost anyone who wishes to enjoy a ride on the water.
This increased accessibility opens up new horizons for those who desire the unique experience of boating without administrative constraints, eliminating the traditional barriers associated with owning a license.
Thanks to this simplicity of use, both novice boaters and seasoned enthusiasts can easily embark on the maritime adventure without worries. The electric boat thus promises unparalleled freedom on lakes or rivers, allowing everyone to fully enjoy the pleasures of boating while preserving our environment.
Where can one navigate with their electric boat?
Ruban Bleu’s electric boats are of Category D. It refers to a classification used to assess the design, construction, and equipment of vessels based on their suitability to navigate in different conditions. The classification is defined by the European Union and is also adopted by several other countries.
The electric boat of category D is designed for navigation in sheltered waters, which means it is intended to be used near the coasts or in lakes, rivers, and estuaries, where navigation conditions are generally calm and winds are light. It is not suitable for navigation in open sea or in areas prone to extreme weather conditions.
As a general rule, the electric boat of category D is suitable for use in protected inland or coastal waters, such as lakes, canals, rivers, bays, and harbor areas. However, it is essential to check the specific local and national regulations regarding authorized navigation areas, as they may vary from one country to another and from one region to another. Absolutely, it is crucial to inquire with local maritime authorities before setting sail. Understanding and complying with the specific regulations and navigation restrictions in the area will ensure a safe and enjoyable boating experience.
