X Shore signs deal with Dutch firm

Swedish electric boat builder X Shore has signed a deal with Natural Yachts of the Netherlands to introduce what it says is the first high-speed electric boat to be commercially available to the Dutch market. The 8m Eelex 8000 is made in Stockholm, Sweden and is 100% electric. By making it commercially available in the Netherlands, Natural Yachts says it can begin to satisfy the growing demand among an increasingly carbon-conscious Dutch customer base for smart, high-speed electric boats.
