The MC-ZERO 450 makes its international debut as the first carbon fiber electric jet boat using a twin 48V system. This design focuses on reducing emissions in the luxury tender market by replacing traditional combustion engines with high-efficiency electric propulsion. By combining a lightweight carbon fiber hull with advanced battery technology, the vessel aims to provide a sustainable alternative for short-range maritime transport without sacrificing performance.

Carbon fiber is great for weight, but I want to see the actual battery capacity and charging time. If this thing needs a massive shore power draw to top up quickly, it just pushes the problem back to the marina grid.

Fair point. Most of these luxury electric tenders are basically glorified golf carts for the water. The real test is whether the 48V architecture scales or if it is just a niche play for a few wealthy owners.

Interesting from a procurement side. If we see more regulations on emissions in protected harbors or luxury zones, these electric tenders will move from a novelty to a requirement.

The maintenance on electric jets is usually lower than gas, but replacing a carbon fiber hull after a hard impact is a nightmare. Curious if the cost of ownership actually drops over five years.
