10.5m Electric Dayboat

Development of a premium 10.5m fully electric dayboat from initial market research and product definition through design, engineering, procurement and construction supervision.

This project was undertaken by members of the SPARK team before the establishment of SPARK Marine Projects and demonstrates the team's earlier experience developing complex technology-led marine products.

Our Role

Working with Borromeo de Silva in Milan and specialist naval architects, the team helped define the target market, operational profile, product brief and performance requirements.

The project progressed through general arrangement and design development into naval architecture, weight and performance management and integration of the high-voltage propulsion system, batteries and charging infrastructure.

Our involvement then extended into the commercial delivery process, including preparation of the technical and commercial bid package, assessment of potential shipyards, yard selection and construction supervision.

Scope

• Market research
