Pure Watercraft is on a mission to build the technology that enables a new era in boating that is more enjoyable, accessible, and environmentally friendly than ever before. (https://www.purewatercraft.com)
Our ground-up proprietary electric propulsion system can replace millions of unreliable, expensive, and dirty gas marine motors worldwide. The platform also unlocks totally new opportunities for users to interact with their boats, enhancing performance, navigation, efficiency, comfort, safety, maintenance, and security.
Our engineering prototypes have already delivered more than 1, 000 hours of high performance boating and we are gearing up for commercial launch. Check out this video to learn more about our revolutionary company:
