Pascoe International have confirmed that the world’s first 100% electric superyacht limousine tender is now under construction and will be delivered in 2023 to a large new-build mothership from a major northern European shipyard.
Pascoe’s technical team have been studying the viability of electric-tender propulsion in collaboration with expert advisors and research partners for many years. During this process, they have carried out extensive R&D on hull design, motor integration, battery performance and whole-system optimisation. Partners include automotive electrification specialists, propeller designers, battery manufacturers and leading university research teams.

The e-Limousine truly signifies the beginning of a new wave of luxury waterborne travel and a move away from internal combustion propulsion systems in the superyacht sector.’
