The vessel is equipped with the Artemis [eFoiler electric propulsion system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lift-foils-lift5) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-boat-model) 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.
