Today’s adventure took me off the road and onto the water,
I got to blast around on a fully electric jet boat. Yep, no petrol, no fumes, no mess — just pure electric fun. The team at ZeroJet strapped me into their carbon-fiber tender powered by a 15 kW electric jet pump, and once we were out of the 5-knot zone at Bucklands Beach, the thing took off like a rocket. It’s fast, agile, whisper-quiet, and honestly, way more responsive than I expected. I might have screamed (a bit).
But here’s the best part: this isn’t just about speed. It’s clean. No oil or fuel leaks, no saltwater corrosion, no pollution in the ocean. Charge it off solar or Ecotricity’s climate-positive power and you’ve got a tender that’s fun, futuristic, and guilt-free. I wish this technology existed when I was a kid — because ripping across the harbor on battery power is absolutely epic.
This is the future, and it’s already here.
