The Future Is Electric – Exploring Electric Boats in Australia with RAND
ELECTRIC DAYBOATS LEADING THE CHARGE
Electric boats in Australia are no longer a distant dream—they’re here, and RAND is at the forefront. A year ago, the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show marked the Australian debut of the RAND 100% electric dayboat—a sleek, silent, and sustainable alternative to traditional boating. As interest in environmentally conscious marine solutions surges, RAND continues to lead the way, redefining what’s possible with electric propulsion on Australian waters.
A New Era of Boating
The RAND is not just an electric dayboat; it’s a reimagining of how we interact with the water. With zero emissions, near-silent operation, and minimalist Scandinavian styling, it offers a calm, clean, and conscious way to explore bays, harbours, and coastal inlets.
Driven by a powerful 265kW electric motor, the innovative RAND 27 reaches top speeds of 30–32 knots, while cruising at 5–6 knots delivers a range of over 150 nautical miles. That means a full day of adventure on a single charge, without a single drop of fuel.
Designed for Real-Life Use
While some assume electric boating comes with a compromise, RAND proves otherwise. Thanks to a large-capacity battery and a hull designed with a low centre of gravity, the boat is incredibly stable, even in chop. The three-ton weight is distributed low, making for a smooth, planted ride.
As the first of its kind in Australia, RAND caters to early adopters of clean technology—those already embracing solar, home batteries, and electric vehicles. It slots seamlessly into their lifestyle and offers a boating experience to match.
Electric Dayboats With Style
RAND boats are designed in Denmark and combine cutting-edge tech with timeless design. Inside and out, the boats reflect a commitment to elegance and efficiency. The smooth lines, open layout, and quality finishes provide an inviting atmosphere for everything from solo coastal escapes to entertaining friends.
Whether you’re navigating narrow no-wake zones or gliding silently into a secluded cove, the electric propulsion transforms how you connect with your surroundings. It’s boating that complements nature, not competes with it.
What About Range and Speed?
At high speeds, battery life does shorten—wide-open throttle runs may yield just over an hour of operation. But for most Australians, who use their boats to cruise, explore, and relax, electric boats are already a viable option.
And with battery technology improving at a rapid pace, future models will only expand these capabilities. Industry forecasts predict double the energy density in batteries within the next 2 to 4 years, along with more powerful motors and faster charging.
Join the Electric Boating Movement
As a long-time leader in sustainable boating, Eyachts has been at the forefront of this transformation, importing Greenline hybrid yachts, Candela hydrofoiling electric boats, and now the RAND range.
So if you’ve been searching for electric boats in Australia, or wondering what the future of boating looks like, RAND is the perfect place to start.
Experience the revolution. Step aboard a RAND electric dayboat and discover a smarter, cleaner way to cruise.
