Arc Boat Company has recently unveiled its newest creation, the Arc Sport – an electric boat designed specifically for wake sports enthusiasts. This innovative model follows the success of the Arc One, a limited-edition luxury cruiser that received widespread acclaim. The company, known for its commitment to sustainability and innovation, is now gearing up for continuous production of the Arc Sport to meet the demands of eco-conscious consumers in the boating industry.
The Arc Sport, priced at $258,000, is a 23-foot electric boat that can accommodate up to 15 passengers at a time. Equipped with a large battery, this vessel offers an impressive power capacity that can last for four to six hours on the water. With a top speed of 40 miles per hour, the Arc Sport promises an exhilarating experience for water sports enthusiasts. Competing with high-end models from established boat manufacturers such as Nautique, MasterCraft, and Malibu, Arc Boat Company is set to revolutionize the boating industry with its environmentally-friendly and cutting-edge technology.
Traditional fuel-burning boats have long been associated with environmental issues such as noise pollution, smog, and water contamination. The founders of Arc Boat Company, led by CEO Mitch Lee, recognized the need for a more sustainable approach to water sports. Drawing inspiration from his own experiences on the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, Lee sought to create a cleaner and more enjoyable boating experience for enthusiasts. Teaming up with former SpaceX engineer Ryan Cook, now the CTO at Arc, the company set out to develop electric boats that not only reduce environmental impact but also provide a superior boating experience for customers.
Arc Boat Company’s leadership team comprises industry veterans from boating, automotive, and transportation sectors, including experts from Tesla, Rivian, Lyft, Brunswick, and MarineMax. This diverse team brought a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table, helping Arc secure funding and establish itself as a key player in the electric boating industry. With early-stage investments totaling $110 million from celebrity angel investors and venture capital firms, Arc was able to fast-track the development of its electric boats and bring them to market within a short timeframe. By leveraging components from trusted suppliers in the automotive industry, Arc was able to streamline its production process and accelerate its entry into the electric boating market.
As Arc Boat Company prepares to deliver its new Arc Sport model to customers, the future of electric boating looks promising. With a strong focus on sustainability, innovation, and customer experience, Arc is poised to make a significant impact on the boating industry. By offering a cleaner, quieter, and more efficient alternative to traditional fuel-burning boats, Arc Boat Company is leading the charge towards a greener and more enjoyable boating experience for enthusiasts worldwide.
