Sailing with electric boats: Sustainable sailing through Istria's waters
Why electric boats?
Electric boats are not only an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional boats with combustion engines, they also offer a completely new sailing experience. Without the usual engine noise, you can enjoy the tranquillity of nature to the full. And the best thing about it? You make an active contribution to environmental protection by not using fossil fuels and not polluting the waters with exhaust fumes.
Electric boats do not emit any harmful emissions, and as they are based on rechargeable batteries, you can use renewable energy to recharge your boat. Solar energy, for example, is ideal, especially in sunny regions like Istria.
Istria’s waters: ideal for electric boats
Istria offers a multitude of sheltered bays and calm waters that are perfect for sailing trips with an electric boat. Places such as the Limfjord or the Brijuni Islands are predestined for anchoring silently and enjoying nature. Without the disturbing noise of a motor, you have the opportunity to observe animals in their natural environment – dolphins, birds and other sea creatures are not disturbed by the silent electric boats.
Electric boats are a great advantage, especially in nature reserves, as they have a minimal impact on the environment. There are already charging stations for electric boats in many places along the Istrian coast, which makes it easier to recharge your batteries during your trip.
