What do we do?
The simple answer to this is that we educate people about converting gas-powered boats and yachts into electric powered boats and yachts. We even sell a few “plug and play” options that we’ve sourced specifically to make your conversion easier.
But it doesn’t end there…our organization isn’t just about electric boating and yachting, ultimately we want to bring forward the reality of cleaner alternative energies into everyday living.
Just as Tesla Motors has done for the automotive industry and Zero Motorcycles has done for the motorcycle industry, we believe we can do this for the boating community.
How?
Good question but an easy one for us to answer. At Bluefin we back our words with action by converting our very own gas-powered yachts into fully electric seagoing vessels.
We’ve already done it once with “The Original Bluefin” and we have done it again. You can even watch our progress by following our blog.

Hello I have a 48 ft Chris craft at moment it has two 496 in gas of coarse. What size electric motors do I need sir I’m not sure .
we do not have a replacement for a 496
if you would like to cruise at hull speed only we have a few solutions available
Hello, I am looking to converting my boat. How would I go about hiring your company for this project?
Hi Sydney,
just give us a call at 604-786-6652
I’m looking to convert a 350 gas powered cabin cruiser to electric. I only need enough power to reach hull speed…not planing speed.
I’m thinking 15 hp 11kw 72 volt maybe 5 or 600ah.
I’m I on the right path?
Yes, that all sounds good
what sort of budget are you working with.
I want to repower a 25 ft cabin cruiser with electric motor. The boat has a deep vee hull and weighs roughly 3 tons. I only want enough power to cruise at displacement speed.
How many horsepower motor will I need and will I have to change the prop? Will I need to reduce motor speed with pulleys and belt?
Thanks
Our kits are designed for each vessel with reduction gears to match the propellors and boat
considering purchasing a searay amberjack 27 or 29 foot and converting it over to Electric
Legs on those units use more power than you store for any distance at speed.
Looking to turn my powerboat into electric, it’s a 1993 powerquest 257 with a mercury 502 and bravo 1 out drive. What would a 150kw motor and battery set up roughly cost with installation?
$200,000
I am interested in learning more about converting my 29′ sailboat from diesel to electric. However, I live in Ontario, do you have agents or affiliates here?
any boat yard can complete the work
I’d like to follow. I have a sea ray 340 I’d like to consider converting.
unless you have a very large budget there is no comparable.
I have a Mercator Offshore Mk.II 30 ft sloop that I want to convert to electric motor auxiliary. Current auxiliary engine is a 25 hp Volvo Penta MD2B diesel.
we have an inboard Lynch motor that will push your boat along just fine.
Hi there,
I think it’s amazing what you are doing, and a huge opportunity here.
I was wondering if you might be able to help me? I have a 2003 sea Doo islandia I would like to convert to electric.
Thank you.

Looking to convert an 18 foot I/O Regal over to electric. It is a 1986 hull and powertrain. The outdrive is a Mercruiser Alpha 1 drive. Any information would be a help.
no outdrive solutions shaft drive only
Do you have a 454 conversation kit
sorry that is only available in the $$$$$ 150000-25000 range and only offers very little range at full speed.

Looking for best option for my busy tender / short ship to shore use twice daily , Carib C10 rhib and 2 adults
Ideally w/ solar charge capability also
Thanks
we can set you up with the travel 1103 and a solar panel to keep the battery topped up.
We are given thought to convert this oldie but a goodie to electric, but I’d love to hear what the experts think about viability and cost. Here’s what we are looking at — or something like it.
Sorry, meant to say:

Hi Rik,
yes, these beautiful launches deserve a second quiet life on the water,
would need to thow what speed and range you are looking for, unlike a car boats are always going up a very steep hill.
Interested in converting my 1979 36ft Uniflite double cabin from diesel to electric starting with the starboard side first . I currently have two catapillar 3208 diesel engines for propulsion . I would like to inquire on the cost of a complete plug and play electric propulsion system .
What are your distance and speed requirements Ken?
Speed eight to 12 knots and range as much as I can get you show me different options .
I currently have two catapillar 3208 diesel engines with a total of 420 horsepower
Similar project, I have Cat 3406’s. What did you find for electric conversion? jpack29 at Y..h.o.o
sorry we do not have any 400 hp options that are viable solutions
slow down to 5-6 knots and install a 600 A/H lithium bank and you will be cruising for 4-5 hours
Looking for an Electric boat kit for a 1985 Thompson 24 ft Current motor 5.0 L Mercruser with alpha drive duel control (cabin fly bridge) So, about 145 KW Electric and match to alpha drive. Price?
Ahoy Frank,
Sorry this is not a project that works well.
initial investment in the 100-150k for a couple hours planing at best.
$$$$$$$ no kit available for this application.
Good day . I am interested in converting my Mercruiser 3.0 litre I/O to electric . It is in a 22″ pontoon boat . If possible would like to know estimated cost of all components . Thx in advance Peter
I have a 60 foot sumerset houseboat with twin 3 liter mercruisers. We are on a lake and we never run for more than an hour and a half to possibly two hours. Is switching to electric even possible? Speed, of course is not an issue.
Thank you..
I have a hison 10 foot mini jet boat, im intreted in doing a electric conversion. Boat wieghts about 300 pounds and id love to do 100mph but thhat might exceed my price range, also run time, looking for options other then gutting a seadoo..
no room for batteries all that speed use up the best battery bank in about a 1/4 mile
i have twin 318’s in our 1973 Trojan F32 woul like to go all electric is this even possible
Yes if you like cruising at 5-6 knots we have an affordable solution
20-25k if you want to cruise faster the pricing starts at $150,000
What about converting a2009 Maxum 3100 se with twin 5.0 litre with axius (joystick)

I have a 2008 gas powered boat with 350’s in it. My thoughts were to convert to an electric motor, but instead have 2 generators creating the power for each electric motor instead of 2 full size engines sucking up gas. Figure this would be a much more efficient way to create a generator/electric type power system, but I’m having a hard time understanding if a gen can even produce enough power to push the electric motors. Even if a 7kw gen is 100% dedicated to each motors. I’d basically have 3 gens on board, with 1 of them running the house, then the other 2 running each electric motor?
Thoughts???
if you are looking for the same performance your budget would need to be six figures.
Hello
I have a 2000 20ft Weldcraft aluminum jet drive
V-8 350 gas engine. This boat is set up for fishing. I would like to convert to electric.
I would like to be able to go out in the ocean for a 10 mile round trip with trolling for a 4 hour period. As well as 6 hour river trips that would require intermittent power and drift periods with less power.
Please let me n ow if this is a fit for a project.
Thanks
Robert
HI Robert,
all your trolling needs can be covered by electric.
Looking for a HP rating or comparison for a ICE engine to a electric engine
I have a 80s crusader 454 engine on a 35 foot wooden trawler.
What size electric motor is comparable
I think it’s about 300HP
Hi Derek,
no 300 hp for electric boats without a six figure budget.
if you would like to cruise around at 5-6 knots we can help.
