Imagine gliding across the water, the only sound being the wind and the waves. No roaring engines, no vibrations, just pure, seamless movement.
This vision is becoming reality thanks to Sealence, a company pioneering a new era in marine propulsion. By combining state-of-the-art solid-state battery technology with its patented DeepSpeed jets, Sealence is set to revolutionize the way boats move on water.
The technological approach to the problem is absolutely disruptive, Sealence has created a jet engine like the jets we see installed in aircraft, but redesigned to operate in water and driven by an electric motor.
The key to the proposition is greater efficiency – and therefore lower energy consumption – compared to propeller propulsion and the technological challenge has already been won. It is possible today to see the Sealence boats whizzing along at speeds of up to 60 knots.
But Sealence’s real challenge is not speed, it is getting commercial ships – both passengers and cargo – the same evolution that the aviation sector has made in past decades thanks to the introduction of jet propulsion. All in a sustainable way, without emissions into the environment.
The Challenge: A Sea of Change in Marine Mobility
The marine industry is undergoing a transformation. Traditional combustion engines are facing increasing scrutiny due to their emissions, noise pollution, and inefficiencies. While electric mobility is rapidly evolving on land, the transition on water has been slow. The challenge lies in the fact that existing electric solutions lack the power, range, and efficiency needed for real-world marine applications—until now.
Sealence’s Solution: Unmatched Innovation with DeepSpeed Jets
Sealence is not just following trends; it is setting new standards. Its DeepSpeed jet propulsion systems are more efficient, more powerful, and completely silent compared to traditional propellers. This is achieved through advanced hydro-jet technology, paired with an intelligent powertrain that maximizes energy efficiency.
- Unrivaled Performance – The propulsion systems offer today up to 230 kW (over 310 hp) and the company is now developing 600 kW (over 800 hp) jet power, with in future larger models to scale up to many megawatt levels.
- Solid-State Battery Innovation – The company utilizes cutting-edge solid-state battery technology, ensuring higher energy density, longer lifespan, and enhanced safety compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries.
- Scalability for All Vessels – While the current focus is on leisure and commercial vessels (12-24 meters) full-electric or hybrid with range-extender, Sealence is actively scaling towards larger passenger and cargo ships.
The Market Opportunity: A €10M+ Pipeline and Growing
The demand for sustainable marine solutions is accelerating. Governments worldwide are tightening emissions regulations, and yacht and commercial boat owners are seeking high-performance electric alternatives. Sealence’s order backlog (already sign or in final negotiation) is at the date for some million euros largely with large industries. Additionally, the pipeline of qualified commercial leads surpasses €10M, a figure that continues to rise as awareness of the technology grows.
