Enhydra
Award winning
20-40 m
< 200 kWh
The award winning 600-passenger vessel is specifically designed for harbor tours of San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. The propulsion system provides a silent, emissions-free experience for recreational cruise excursions. The hybrid system can automatically use full electric battery operation at slower speeds and when maneuvering in and out of the harbor. At higher speeds, the generator will automatically engage and augment the additional power demands of the traction motor. Enhydra, which name stems from the latin word for otter, was featured as American Ship Review's Vessel of the year and Workboat Magazine's Top Ten Significant Vessels of 2018.
