Hey Gabriola! Free boat tour tomorrow down at Page's Resort Group Marina - come by from 12-2pm to learn about this unique solar powered vessel, hosted by Rising Tide Boat Works!

https://www.risingtideboatworks.com

Catalyst is the first of Rising Tide Boat Works’ pilot projects, alongside the company’s redevelopment of a 6-acre waterfront property in Ucluelet, BC into a boatyard dedicated to supporting EV boating and providing the infrastructure needed to build, maintain and convert electric vessels.

Gabriola residents and visitors are invited to come take a look at the vessel and see what fully electric cruising can look like firsthand.

Catalyst has 100 miles of range on battery with no generator and no diesel or gas auxiliary, and can recharge without ever coming to shore.

The boat will soon be on display at the Vancouver International Boat Show and will also be taking part in COAST’s Ocean Tech Live Demo Day in Victoria, but tomorrow offers a more relaxed opportunity to come down, have a look, and see what RTBW has been building.
