Electric Boat Highlights of METS 2025
Next Generation Propulsion Showcase
Explomar Wave 300
Explomar first appeared on the electric boat scene in 2023 when they exhibited their Wave 150 electric outboard at that year’s METSTRADE. They now have a full range of electric outboards systems that includes the Wave 300 with continuous power of 150 kW and peak power of 225 kW. The motor uses axial flux technology and incorporates fly by wire steering and and trim and a closed liquid steering system. It is the Wave 300 that powered an XTenders RIB to victory in this past summer’s Monaco Energy Boat Challenge 17 nautical mile(30 km / 18.5 mi) offshore race with an average speed of 33 knots (61 kph / 38 mp). Explomar website
Mitek RD Rotating Saildrive
Last year at METS the Italian manufacturer Mitek introduced their ‘REVOLVE’, a clever outboard where the entire unit revolves parallel to the transom to tuck away against the boat when not in use. This year they are showing their rotating saildrive that can be freely oriented to function both as a propulsion system and stern thruster, allowing you to direct the thrust where needed. This makes manoeuvring in port much easier and more precise because you can move the boat or turn it on the spot regardless of weather conditions. Mitek website
