Quiet and Clean

The Waterworld motor drives your boat in total silence. It is a direct drive system with no gearbox. You can now enjoy the peace and quiet with clean air.

Affordable

A complete electric drivetrain including Waterworld motor can be as cost effective as a diesel installation. This is achieved by state-of-the-art manufacturing, easy installation without water cooling, and the reduced maintenance requirement.

Reliable

Proven Dutch technology and easy installation ensure that you can rely on your Waterworld drive train. 

Choosing the right engine

Please be aware that every boat is different, a sleek and lightweight boat for example will be much more efficient than a bulky and heavy one. Also, the waters that you sail are important. Sheltered waters and short distances may warrant the use of a less powerful engine than one sailing great distances on open waters.
