Sustainable Boating Stories – Details, episodes & analysis

Is it possible to have an exhilarating experience on the water without harming the ocean we love? In this eye-opening episode of the Marine EV Leadership Series, we sit down with Eric Laakmann, the visionary CEO of VESSEV, to discuss how his company is revolutionizing the marine industry.

Eric, a self-described "eight-year-old kid in love with the ocean," combines his passion for sailing with a background in engineering from his time at Apple. He explains that the key to a truly **sustainable future for boating** isn't just a greener engine, but a completely rethought design. He breaks down the fundamental difference between traditional planing hulls and hydrofoiling, revealing why his electric boats are more than twice as efficient as their conventional counterparts.

We dive into the biggest challenges facing the marine EV market today—from charging infrastructure to upfront costs—and Eric shares his unique perspective on how to overcome them. You'll learn about VESSEV's flagship commercial vessel, the VS9, and how its innovative retractable foils and easy charging system are paving the way for a cleaner, quieter, and more exciting experience on the water.

This is a must-watch for anyone interested in electric boating, sustainable technology, and the future of ocean travel.

The DEEP DIVE (AI) PODCAST: Get ready to ride the new wave of personal watercraft. In this episode of the Deep Dive AI Podcast, we're putting the pedal to the metal—or rather, the throttle to the water—as we explore the epic showdown between classic gas-powered jet skis and their sleek, silent electric counterparts.

For decades, the roar of a combustion engine has defined the thrill of the ride, but as technology evolves and environmental concerns take center stage, a new era of electric models is making a splash.

Our AI hosts dive into the performance, costs, and sustainability of both, helping you decide whether the high-speed, long-range freedom of a gas-powered machine can truly be replaced by the instant torque and eco-friendly ride of an electric one.

Candela Boats of Sweden delivers its C8 Model Fully Electric Hydrofoil Boat with extended range at competitive price. ❇️Watch This Next: https://youtu.be/Sum3dGQFVsI?si=ptyCFaI2OiEYXoql https://www.youtube.com/@CandelaSpeedBoat/videos ❇️Candela Tech Talks: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKzcubLcBdlTMpCYshZnDhOZDETBflw2V ➡️About Candela Boats Candela was founded in 2014 by Gustav Hasselskog. Determined to find ways to make electric boats with both range and speed, he gathered a task force consisting of some of the world’s leading experts within dynamic modelling, hardware design, hydrodynamics, control theory, machine learning, image & signal processing, structural engineering and electrical machines. Our ultimate purpose is to speed up the transition to fossil fuel-free lakes and oceans. A traditional 7.5 m petrol boat consumes about 15 x more fuel than a family car, leaving a heavy footprint on our planet. Multiply that number with the number of ships and boats in seas worldwide and it’s easy to see that the concept of traditional combustion engine boats is simply not sustainable. Our purpose is to re-think efficiency in marine transportation to radically push the performance boundaries of electric boats and ships. At Candela, we care about doing something good for the planet and all its species. Coming from 20 different nations, we share a conviction that kindness combined with deep knowledge in science, has revolutionary power. email: sales.us @Candelacom-qo2wl candela.com ======================== All Companies and Products Mentioned in this video ======================== 🌎Candela Online: https://candela.com/ 🌎Polestar Press: https://tinyurl.com/rkyvn7p4 ⚓Green Boater Approved Products https://www.thegreenboater.com/green-boater-approved-products ⚓Free GBoating Guide https://pages.thegreenboater.com/ ======================== Subscribe to our Podcast: ======================== ➡️YouTube: @thegreenboaterpodcast ➡️Spotify: https://spoti.fi/48qaJKa ➡️Amazon: https://amzn.to/4bJHcy3 ======================== Connect and Work with Us! ======================== ➡️Check out our FREE GUIDE to Green Boating https://pages.thegreenboater.com/ ➡️Change One Thing: https://www.thegreenboater.com/1-million-actions ======================== Connect with us! ======================== ✅Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegreenboater/ ✅Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegreenboater/ ✅X: https://twitter.com/TheGreenBoater ❎Question: Would you buy an electric outboard motor?

Learn how to enjoy Eco-Friendly Narrowboat life cruising the UK canals with #PartTimeBoater founder Marianne Cook. The Green Boater connects with Marianne Cook, who together with her partner, cruise the vast network of canals in 🇬🇧 aboard their narrowboat. Despite the popularity of the canals by tourists, liveaboards, working narrowboats and recreational boaters, the canals have a set of eco-friendly practices to help keep the waterways clean and healthy for all to enjoy. There are now 38,000 narrowboats – one quarter of them are homes – on 3,000 miles of navigable waterways, and the number of people enjoying barge holidays has doubled in recent years. Membership of the Friends of the Canal and River Trust (CRT), the waterways' version of the National Trust, hit 28,000 this year.* Canals There are now about 4,700 miles (7,600 km) of navigable canals and rivers throughout the United Kingdom; 2,700 miles (4,345 km) of these are part of the connected system*
