We’re delighted to share that our revolutionary Red Snapper hybrid electric marine drive system has been officially shortlisted for “Best New Product for Inland Waterways” at the 25th Crick Boat Show Awards!
This prestigious recognition comes at a time when the marine industry is actively seeking smarter, more sustainable propulsion solutions — and the Red Snapper is leading the way.

Just a smooth, quiet, and efficient transition to electric power — with hybrid flexibility when you need it most.
This pioneering system is ideal for:
- Narrowboats

A Smart Investment for the Future
With the 2025 Clean and Green Directive encouraging a shift toward low-emission marine vessels, converting to hybrid is more than just an eco-conscious decision — it’s a strategic one.
In addition to reducing emissions and noise pollution, investing in electric or hybrid propulsion could increase your boat’s resale value and reduce long-term operating costs.
Starting at around £6,000–£10,000, the Red Snapper is a cost-effective solution that delivers real value over time — especially when you factor in rising fuel prices, lower maintenance needs, and growing buyer demand for sustainable technology.
