The zero-emission boat will become the flagship vessel on Plymouth Boat Trips’ historic Cremyll Ferry commuter route between Plymouth and Southeast Cornwall. Following in the footsteps of the company’s prior conversion of a small, diesel work boat to a 12-passenger ferry (the e-Voyager), this larger 150-passenger capacity vessel will operate for up to 14 hours a day on a single overnight charge.
SME's naval architects, in partnership with Pelagic Design, worked with Voyager Marine and Plymouth Boat Trips to create a clean, hydrodynamically efficient hull form to minimize the required battery capacity while maximising range and operational flexibility.
