The Artemis EF-12 Escape water taxi is a luxury version of the humble vessel that would provide passengers with a speedy yet comfortable way to get around. The vessel is equipped with the Artemis eFoiler electric propulsion system that will glide above the water, which eliminates the creation of waves to make it well-suited for use in sensitive environments. The electrically powered boat is capable of carrying up to 12 passengers and crew at a top speed of 30-knots for up to 52 nautical miles (60-miles).
Commercial Director David Tyler spoke on the Artemis EF-12 Escape water taxi saying, "We are thrilled to launch the Artemis EF-12 Escape to the global maritime transportation industry. Our goal is to provide a sustainable, comfortable, and luxurious passenger experience for our customers, while also reducing their environmental impact.
