Sustainable, safe and innovative – this technology will also inspire you! The goal of our work is to use modern technology to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of a life on the water to the fullest in an environmentally friendly and resource-saving way. Electric drives make no noise, full redundancy and bow thrusters give the secure feeling of never being stranded, and solar panels and fuel cells allow unlimited traveling. Hull length and width are deliberately chosen so that you can easily channel locks, which are usually only five meters wide, even in remote areas. With our electrically powered houseboats, you have a choice of several motor options: either the classic version with built-in motors; rigid drive shafts and rudder blades; or motor gondolas that combine rudder and drive. For added safety, the accumulator banks are equipped with an emergency switch that allows them to be switched to the other drive in case of need. Thus, even in case of a crosswise motor or accumulator failure, you can safely reach the next stage destination with the houseboat. Bow thrusters are installed in both hulls to simplify docking and casting off maneuvers. The bow thrusters are operated from the battery bank of the technical equipment, in order to remain redundant and independent of the main drive, in an emergency at least in the very smallest frame still easily maneuverable. The driving speed results from the propulsion power and will be about 13.5km/h.
