New electric boat wins top award

FAROBOATS have created an all-electric boat that has won the trophy for the Innovative Design Solution award at the Boat Builders' awards 2024.

Eleven winners and three Honourable Mentions were named at a spectacular dinner and awards ceremony in Amsterdam on November 21st.

Faroboats, the creators of the first fully sustainable solution for electric power-boating in the world, have taken the trophy in the Innovative Design Solution category at the IBI Boat Builders Awards 2024, with Nuno Frazão, CEO of Faroboats, stating:

Beyond our wildest expectations

“Taking the top prize in our category at the Boat Builders Awards goes beyond our wildest expectations. Because it goes beyond our specific electric boat arena and extends to the entire leisure marine industry, with world-class manufacturers competing in our category, this was a glorious conquest for us."

The IBI Boatbuilder Awards uniquely recognise the significant contributions of individuals, teams and supply chain partners within boat building companies globally. The 2024 10th anniversary edition of the Boat Builder Awards has cast a spotlight on another year of remarkable industry advances across 11 categories spanning design, innovation, collaborative working, environmental responsibility, marketing and personal achievement.

Not really a narrowboat, but could be the start of something...
