Portable electric watercraft Europe

DarthCraft is a Slovenian developer and manufacturer of portable electric watercraft for customers across Europe and selected international markets. Based in Ljubljana, the company develops compact electric boats designed for lakes, sheltered coastal areas and calm waters, where portability, quiet operation and zero local emissions are important. DarthCraft currently offers two main watercraft concepts: the E-210 for adults and couples and the smaller Splash designed primarily for younger users, while a more powerful 3.3 kW electric model is already in development.

For customers searching for portable electric watercraft in Europe, one of the main advantages of the DarthCraft concept is that the craft is designed to be easier to transport and launch than a conventional boat. The E-210 features removable inflatable tubes and retractable wheels, allowing it to be packed for transport and moved directly to the water without a traditional boat trailer. DarthCraft specifically designed the model to fit into suitable camper vans and similar vehicles.

E-210 portable electric watercraft for two adults

The DarthCraft E-210 is a fully electric two-person watercraft powered by an ePropulsion Pod Drive 1.0 Evo with 1 kW of power. It reaches speeds of up to 10 km/h, offers a range of approximately 20 km and can operate for around 2 hours under full load. Maximum carrying capacity is 200 kg, making it suitable for two adults.

The craft measures 2.1 metres in length and 1.3 metres in width with the inflatable tubes installed. Its fiberglass hull weighs 50 kg, while the complete craft weighs approximately 71 kg including tubes and battery. A 2.3 kWh LiFePO₄ battery powers the system and requires approximately four hours for a full charge.

The E-210 is classified in Design Category D for sheltered waters and is intended for lakes, coastal areas and calm seas rather than strong currents or demanding offshore conditions. It is CE certified under the Recreational Craft Directive and has been verified against 15 harmonised ISO standards.

Electric watercraft for lakes and restricted boating areas

Compact electric boats can be particularly useful in areas where noise, emissions or restrictions on conventional combustion-powered boats affect access to the water. Local regulations always need to be checked, but a quiet electric propulsion system can make this type of craft suitable for many lakes, resorts, campsites and protected recreational environments where traditional motorboats may not be appropriate.

DarthCraft watercraft are therefore aimed not only at private owners but also at hotels, resorts, campsites, rental operators and lakeside properties looking for compact electric mobility on water. The company also presents the E-210 for couples, families, road trips, coastal escapes and hospitality fleets.

Splash electric watercraft for younger users

The smaller Splash range is designed primarily for younger riders. Fiberglass versions measure approximately 170 × 100 cm, reach speeds of up to 5 km/h and offer around 2–3 hours of battery operation. Capacity is limited to 80 kg, while safety features include a covered propeller and a stable compact design.

This gives DarthCraft two distinct product directions: a smaller watercraft for young users and the E-210 for adult recreational use. At the same time, development continues with a 3.3 kW electric propulsion solution, which will expand the company's offer toward customers looking for greater performance.

Slovenian development for the European market

Although DarthCraft develops and manufactures its watercraft in Slovenia, its commercial focus extends well beyond the domestic market. The company has built a dealer network covering France, Poland, the Adriatic region and several Middle Eastern markets, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Egypt. It has also presented its products at international marine exhibitions in locations such as Cannes, Düsseldorf and Abu Dhabi.

The E-210 currently starts at €6,249, while the Splash starts at approximately €3,199. Final pricing depends on configuration and optional equipment, with DarthCraft confirming individual offers before purchase.
