Swedish technology company X Shore has partnered with Safe Harbor Marinas to increase access to sustainable boating across the United States.

Safe Harbor members now have access to X Shore‘s Eelex 8000 vessels at its locations in San Diego, Charleston, Montauk, Newport, West Palm Beach and at pop-up locations throughout its network.

In 2022, X Shore signed a €50 million battery deal with electric battery innovator Kreisel Electric to supercharge the next generation of its Eelex 8000 electric vessels, and earlier this month (April 2023), it raised £23m to scale the company’s production.

“The enthusiasm from our members about the X Shore programme is noticeable,” says Rebecca LeBlanc, vice president of partnerships and experiences at Safe Harbor.

“Through our nationwide events, Safe Harbor Experiences, the members have had the opportunity to experience these environmentally friendly electric boats firsthand. As a direct result, they are highly anticipating the addition of this amenity to our different marinas across the country. Our partnership with X Shore will continue to have a positive impact on the future of the marine industry.”

Jenny Keisu, CEO of X Shore (pictured left), comments: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Safe Harbor Marinas to encourage more boating enthusiasts to experience 100 per cent silent, high-performance electric boats. Our organisations share a passion for the water and a deep commitment to sustainability.”
