NAUTIQUE BOATS

WATCH
From hybrid-electric to all-electric , Nautique Boats was founded in 1961 and offers a number of watercraft to all owners to cruise the seas . Dayboating seems to be this company ' s forte as it provides electrified boats suited to towing wakeboard , waterskis , or simply taking a leisurely tour of local seas .
The company takes the lead in the market as it achieves an astounding US $ 143m annually and , while it made a name for itself in the petrol-powered boat segment , the company has since begun the shift to electric with its Super Air Nautique GS22E and prospects for more craft in the future .
The GS22E is also supercharger enabled , allowing it to charge to full capacity in 1.5 hours , or it can be charged using a 240V AC charger that will double the time .
