A better route forward.

Silent boating.

Our story began five years ago with a simple decision: when the diesel engine in our family boat failed, we chose not to replace it with another diesel. Instead, we set out to find a cleaner, quieter electric alternative.

What we discovered was a clear gap in the market. While electric propulsion promised a better way to be on the water, there were no specialist businesses offering a complete, considered service, one that could guide owners through the complexities of motors, battery systems, charging solutions, and integration.

So we built our own solution.

After successfully converting our own boat to electric, we recognised the opportunity to offer something genuinely different: a bespoke service designed to make the transition to electric propulsion seamless, intelligent, and tailored to each vessel and owner.

Today, we provide refined electric boating solutions that enhance the experience on the water. Free from the noise, fumes, vibration, and environmental impact of diesel or petrol, our systems allow owners to enjoy boating as it was always meant to be, calm, clean, and connected to the environment. From elegant electric outboards to complete yacht conversions, every project is approached with precision and care.

Our expertise has since expanded into Rebel RIBs, where we offer fully customisable boats crafted around the individual. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, our RIBs are not limited to pre-defined specifications. Each build is developed in close collaboration with the client, resulting in a vessel that reflects their exact requirements, preferences, and style.

What began as a personal challenge has evolved into a business defined by innovation, craftsmanship, and a commitment to elevating the future of boating.
