30 years of experience and more than 1,000 electrically powered boats on the water
Van Vossen E-Boats is a Dutch family business founded in 1996. We have worked with electric boating every day for 30 years and now have more than 1,000 electrically powered boats on the water. We design and build our aluminium electric sloops and tenders ourselves in the Netherlands. This practical knowledge informs the development, production and maintenance of every Van Vossen boat.
Innovation and reliability are central to Van Vossen E-Boats. That is why the battery systems in our e-boats are developed entirely in-house and precisely matched to our boats' performance. This tailored approach makes the most of every battery's capacity, balancing power, efficiency and lifespan.
Our advanced batteries provide an exceptionally long range. A Van Vossen E-Boat offers a standard range of up to around 70 kilometres, while many electric sloops are limited to around 30 to 50 kilometres.
By continually investing in technology and development, we stay at the forefront of electric boating. The result: powerful, sustainable and future-ready e-boats that offer maximum freedom on the water.
Why choose an aluminium boat?
A major advantage of an aluminium boat is its durability and ease of maintenance. Aluminium is strong, light and corrosion-resistant, helping Van Vossen sloops last for many years. The low weight also contributes to efficient electric cruising and excellent handling.
An aluminium hull combined with electric propulsion makes a Van Vossen electric sloop environmentally friendly and future-ready. More and more boating enthusiasts are choosing a sustainable solution without compromising luxury or performance.
Our models
Van Vossen E-Boats models are designed for maximum ease of use. With a Van Vossen boat, you enjoy carefree cruising without complicated maintenance or technical procedures. Simply charge the battery from a standard power socket, and you are ready to take to the water.
Thanks to smart electric propulsion, the sloops are quiet, comfortable and easy to operate. No fuss with fuel, oil or heavy engines – charge, step aboard and cruise. This makes a Van Vossen sloop ideal for beginners and experienced boaters alike.
The durable aluminium construction also adds to the ease of use. A Van Vossen aluminium boat is low-maintenance, lightweight and resistant to different weather conditions. Spend more time relaxing on the water and less time on maintenance.
