STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN & HEEG, THE NETHERLANDS - 1 September 2021 - #xshore (www.xshore.com), the Swedish technology company behind a game-changing generation of fully-electric, connected boats today announces a deal with #naturalyachts (www.naturalyachts.com), the Dutch family-owned company with over fifteen years of experience in electric propulsion and marine energy systems, that will make the Eelex 8000 the first high-speed electric boat to be commercially available to the Dutch market.

Achieving carbon neutrality off and on the water
While the Netherland’s mission to achieve total carbon neutrality by 2025 is making steady progress in the automotive industry, faster progress needs to be made on the water. Through a shared vision to make the marine technology industry a space powered by electricity, and driven by sustainability and innovative technology, this deal between #naturalyachts and #xshore signifies an important step towards achieving this goal.

By making the Eelex 8000 commercially available, #naturalyachts can begin to satisfy the growing demand among an increasingly carbon-conscious Dutch customer base for smart, high-speed electric boats. Made in Sweden, the Eelex 8000 is 100% electric; producing zero fumes and noise, minimising the impact on waterways and marine life. Its features also include a proprietary mobile and smartwatch app, which unlocks and turns on the boat when in range, smart overboard detection, geofencing software, and innovative design.

With more than 15 years of experience in electric propulsion and marine energy systems for sail and motor yachts in the Netherlands, #naturalyachts provides the expertise and passion to introduce the Eelex 8000 to this new market, engage with a broader customer base and make comfortable and clean boating more accessible and popular for all.

Commenting on the #partnership, Jenny Keisu, CEO of #xshore, said: “Our main goal is to achieve a future where every boat is electric. With interests in sustainability and e-mobility growing throughout Europe and the wider world, partnerships such as this enable us to drive real change in the marine industry by collaborating with those like-minded individuals and companies outside of our native market. The #naturalyachts team shares our passion for growing and informing the e-boating market in Central Europe and we look forward to embarking on this journey with them.”
