Description

What We're Building

Every idea starts with a problem. Ours was simple: Boats are special , but they’re loud, pollutant, unreliable, and stuck in the past. Gas-powered boats dominate not because they’re great, but because no better option has existed. Until now.

Arc is here to change that. We’re building 100% electric boats from the ground up , quicker, quieter, easier to maintain, and better for the water they ride on. We’re not just swapping gas for batteries. We’re rethinking every detail on the boat , from propulsion and powertrain to software and ownership model , applying first-principles engineering from aerospace and EVs to deliver a better boating experience.
