Blue Innovations Group R30 E-Boat

Blue Innovations Group has launched its R30 electric boat. It’s a stunning 30-foot-long, 12-passenger, dual-motor masterpiece that punches out 800 horsepower.
The 10,000-pound, 30-foot-long R30 is powered by a 221 kWh battery that is engineered specifically for efficiency on the water. The battery offers a 6-8 hour nominal runtime and a maximum range of 100 miles. The battery supports 350 kW fast charging, delivering 4 hours of runtime in a 40-minute charge. The R30 also has a 15 kW onboard charger and an expandable solar canopy capable of producing 2.8 kW. The solar canopy can provide up to a 50 percent charge in one week. Blue Innovations Group says one night of home or marina shore power will provide an 80 percent charge. Power is sent to dual inboard motors that spin twin props. All total, the system generates 800 hp and a top speed of 45 mph.
The R30 has an aluminum deep V monohull and a capacity of 12 passengers. The boat has folding “ocean terraces” located port, starboard, and aft. Designed for optimal deck space, the ocean terraces offer individual control. Quite simply, they can be deployed to create more general space or to accommodate a larger group on board. There’s also an integrated submerged step for water access. The boat’s climate-controlled cabin offers sleeping space for a small family or it can serve as an office or entertainment room. And yes, there’s a kitchenette featuring a fridge, sink, and cooktop. Additionally, the R30 offers a bathroom with bidet. At the helm there’s yoke steering and a dual-display user interface. The interface includes an instrument cluster, chart plotter, and media center. Over-the-air updates keep everything up to date.
